Do I pray differently now?
loretta:
Hi Everybody,
I'm new to this forum, having stumbled upon Ray's website. As I started to read I had several questions, many of which were resolved as I continued to study Ray's teachings. I still have a few questions, but crowning them all is the subject of my post. How do I pray now? I must confess though that the subject of hell didn't really motivate me to pray fervently for the salvation of others. Now that I know the truth about God's eternal purpose, how do I pray, if at all, for others. How do I pray for myself, now that I understand that I am being/will be judged, disciplined, molded into the image of the Son? How should my Christian life/walk reflect the knowledge that I have a reverential fear of the purging fire of God?
God bless

Rom 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

Welcome to the forum Loretta
I like the verse Dennis shared
This paper by Ray is always good
http://bible-truths.com/praying.htm
I often read it.
I like this verse about prayer
Php 4:6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
Php 4:7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Pray as the bible says and know that God's will is going to be done.
What stirs me to pray is my love for Him and that desire that burns within to know him more.
God's richest blessings upon you friend

G. Driggs:
Pray for anything and everything you can think of. Like having a talk with Someone you respect and love. Tell Him anything. He already knows so might as well.
I like how Ray put it when he said he would get excited when God would inspire him to pray.
http://bible-truths.com/praying.htm
When God wants to answer someone’s prayer, the first thing He will always do is inspire (cause) that person TO PRAY. How can God answer a "prayer" if someone doesn’t "pray"? God can bless us and do favors for us, but God cannot answer our prayers, if we don’t pray. That is why I get excited when I feel inspired to pray, as I am encouraged that God is getting ready to bless or favor me in some way.

Ooooo I do pray much differently now for sure.....unceasingly throughout the day for his will...before driving...while driving....while laying in bed....just sitting thinking....anytime I see someone in trouble....always on top of the mountain or behind the door in my room of my heart.....today I was reading the 3rd installment of Rays paper on the Lake of Fire....and I out loud asked God to give me persecution.
