Title: How to Pray (Luke 18:1)
Content (Introduction) Prayer is our way to God. Many people say, 'I don't know how to pray'. Here is the way.
1. Repent of your sins 1) Jesus is the way to God.
That Jesus died for our sins.
Isaiah 1:15-17 "When you spread out your hands, I will cover your eyes and you will pray a lot, but I will not listen, for your hands are full of blood. Wash yourselves and cleanse yourselves before my eyes. renounce your evil deeds, cease from doing evil, learn good deeds, seek justice, help the oppressed, plead for the orphan, defend the widow.” 2) Resolutely lead a God-centered life
2. Honor God 1) Serve and serve Proverbs 3:9-10 ..."Honor the LORD with your wealth and with the firstfruits of your produce, so that your storehouses will be full, and your presses will overflow with new wine. " 2) Obedience Mal 3:16-18 ..."Then those who feared the LORD spoke to one another, and the LORD heard it clearly, and the book of remembrance before the LORD for those who fear the LORD and honor his name. I will make them my special possession on my appointed day, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will spare them as a man spares his son who serves him; then ye shall return, the righteous and the wicked, God I will distinguish between those who serve and those who do not."
3. Know God's will Paul's missionary experience (Acts 16)

5. Keep asking until the end (Luke 18) (Conclusion): The poet Tennyson said that all the great things in this world were accomplished through prayer. Prayer is the greatest privilege of the saints to bring the power of God into the human world.
