How Christians Should Pray Better: A Believers Guide to Stronger, More Successful Prayers

By Irby L Foster

Many Christians, seasoned or new to the body, just do not know how to pray effectively.

While Christ gave his life for us to gain salvation, the Christian walk only begins there. Jesus seeks a daily relationship with us. As members of his body, we must actively work to use our prayers in spiritual war fair, and place a hedge of protection around ourselves, our family, and the rest of the body of Christ. We also must use effective, fervent prayers to combat sickness, financial burdens, and everyday burdens we face in our walk.

Most Christians do not realize, the responsibility to fight the good fight of faith will require daily prayer, and fasting. While some battles may be quickly won, some may take days or weeks to realize victory. All take faith, and an understanding that while God wills victory, it is not automatic, but through deliberate faith that we experience success.

How

CHRISTIANS

Should PRAY

BETTER

Really, this book is written to teach Christians how to pray. I say this because if you don’t believe in God, and you are not saved, nothing about what I’m saying will make any sense to you. However, I’m writing because I believe Christians want to be able to pray successfully. However, to be able to pray successfully, I believe you first must have had a life changing experience, where you believe that God is real, and you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal savior.

CHAPTER ONE

Foundation

Believe that God is real

The Bible teaches us in Hebrews 11:6 that we must believe that God is real, that he exists, that he wants you to be successful, and will reward you for it. You can also read in Jeremiah 29:11 that God has only, good plans for you, to give you hope and a future.
