The Aspects of Prayer

I went to my friend’s church and one of their ministers preached on the aspects of prayers. I didn’t realize that it was so many dimensions to prayer. Of course, everyone has their own way of praying but what I got out of the sermon was how to deal with each prayer I pray. Sometimes I would think that God wasn’t hearing my prayers or I was praying incorrectly. I learned that God hears prayer that comes from the heart. If what you prayed was sincere and really came from the heart, that is how you know God heard your prayer. Many people look for the “sign” but just know that as you constantly seek God, those signs you desperately seek will appear automatically. Below are some notes taken from that sermon. Feel free to use these to enhance your prayer life.
