What We Need in Prayer
What we need in prayer is confidence to approach the throne of grace. When we pray, we are calling upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ; we are placing our dependence and trust in God the father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
We are pouring out our heart and soul to him, and letting Him know that he is the only one our Deliverer in the time of affliction, distress, and all forms of disappointments, and in time of troubles and tribulations.
We need to pray to seek His strength and His power over all our trouble soul. We must call upon God in prayer and reminded him that we are a sinner, undeserving of mercy, but he saved us and bless us with His mercy and love. We must remind him about His great love for us, and His goodness and mercy that followed us through all our lives, His unceasing protection in the past and throughout our lives.
As children of God, we must ask that he listen to our prayers and answer our prayers according to His will and infinite mercy. When we pray, we are strengthening are trust in the Lord and we are exercising our unshakable faith in Him.
We are also obeying His commandment because God commanded us to pray therefore, we pray in response to God’s loving invitation. Our Lord said, “Ask you shall be given.” Through prayer our worries will be reduced or erased to the point that it will not border us anymore. The most essential care for worry is our prayer.
Through prayer we renew our trust in the Lord Jesus Christ’s faithfulness, we cast all our problems upon him, who cares for us God’s peace comes to keep and guided and lead our hearts, mind and soul, spirit as we commune with our Lord. God wills continue to strengthen us in order to do all the things for us according to His will. Prayer helps us to connect and receive the peace of God that surpasses all understanding. (Phil. 4:6-7).
Believers must rejoice in the Lord Jesus and gain strength by recalling His grace and promises. The Bible said that we restyled against spiritual warfare with the help of the Holy Spirit’s power. We are Christian soldiers, we must fight against all the power of evil, not in our own power but with the power of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit (Eph. 6:18).
Prayer shows our dependence upon God’s power and His infinite wisdom, what we need in prayer is powerful tools so important that we will be completely surrender to the Lordship of Jesus Christ and let Him know that we cannot do anything for ourselves, and we have no strength or power to solve this problem on our own.

What we need in prayer is to show that we are complete in Christ, and we are acting as we supposed to act as a child of God. We must ask the father for everything, even up to drinking water, we must pray that the water go down safely in our throat to our stomach.
All believers need to communicate with the father and tell him what is in our minds. Even though God has the power to read our mind, He still wants us to come to him as His child and humble ourselves and let Him know what we are going through, what we needed, even though he understand our situations farther more than we are thinking or asking, He wants us to maintain an intimate relationship with Him as His child His children with complete trust.
What we need in prayer is a heart full of praises to God the father through our Lord Jesus Christ who give us His Spirit, the Spirit of holiness, and the Spirit of prayer. The more we praise Him and acknowledge what He has done in our life, what he is doing right this moment in our lives and what He will continue to do in our lives, the more the heart of God rejoices with us, and the more he is ready to do more and more great things in our lives.
We praise the Almighty God when we acknowledge His greatness, mercy and love in our lives, His provisions, His power of healing all our diseases, His power of protection from all evil from day one we arrived on this earth.
