Why do we offer free prayer?
Based on the Biblical exhortation written by the apostle Paul and inspired by the Holy Spirit, we offer prayer for all.
1 Timothy 2:1-7 states:
“Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time, for which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle—I am speaking the truth in Christ and not lying—a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.”

While God does have an inheritance given out to His children, the end goal of this life is not to seek to attain wealth but to lay up treasures in Heaven. In other words, it is more important to invest in our relationship with God and with others than to seek to amass as much wealth as possible for ourselves. God blesses some to be rich in material goods while others are poor in this way and yet spiritually both can be doing very well. Some are materially wealthy but spiritually poor. Some are materially wealthy and spiritually wealthy too. Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and you will be looked after no matter what comes your way.

How prayers get answered?
Prayer is to be made in Jesus’ name. Jesus is the only way to the Father in Heaven. So if you feel like your prayers do not go above your ceiling, you are not approaching God as He has asked us to. God sent His Son Jesus into the world to die for our sins. When Jesus died for our sins He cleared the way so that we could have perfect access to God’s throne room. That is why it is necessary to pray in Jesus’ name - because God will not hear our prayers if our sins are not taken away by Jesus Christ.

What to do when things get worse after praying?
Things can get a little crazy in the spiritual world when we pray. We can face opposition to our prayers from satan and other demons. We can also face opposition from family members, etc. This is called spiritual war because in the unseen world there is a battle going on which is initiated by our prayers. So the best thing you can do when things get worse is to focus on God and call His presence into your life in Jesus’ name. Also, it is important to pray for protection from retaliation by the enemy. The enemy is not powerful when we focus on love, on God, and on praying to God for help. He wants to do this in order to get us to stop praying. So by all means make sure to continue in prayer! It is important not to give up when the battle is hot or seems hopeless. Continue to pray for the situation and do not give up until you have received what you prayed for, in Jesus’ name.
Where can I find prayer in the Bible?
There are several examples of prayer in the Bible. Mary prayed when God revealed to her that she would carry the Son of God in her womb. Jesus prayed in the garden to help himself through the trial and crucifixion He was facing.

It is found in long passages in Psalms and in Isaiah and throughout the books of Matthew, Mark, John, etc.
How to pray when you have no prayer?
The simplest form of prayer can be “God help me in Jesus’ name.” Or “Please save me from my sins Lord, in Jesus’ name, Amen.” Or “God, I am a sinner in need of your salvation. I believe Jesus died for my sins and rose again three days later. Based on Christ’s work I ask for your forgiveness of my sins. I need power over them that only comes from you. So please come into my life and change my heart and make me a new person with eternal life, in Jesus’ name, Amen!” We recommend visiting this page to pray with the awareness in trust in God these prayers.
How do prayers get answered?
Prayers made in Jesus’ name go before the throneroom of God and then God decides what and how He will answer the prayer. God may or may not dispatch angels to assist in the outworking of the prayer. He may alone by His Spirit do something about the prayer. For example, if we prayed for a loved one to receive the forgiveness of sins through Jesus Christ’s work on the cross, we can expect that God would convict said person about his or her sin and help them turn from it and rely on Jesus Christ to change their hearts and lives. Jesus can forgive all sin in an instant and God can enter a person’s life and change their eternal destiny forever. It is all by God’s grace. Everything good is a free gift from God.

When someone is sick, we will often offer up prayers to God requesting that the sick person be made well. A get well prayer can go something like this.

We ask you to do this today in Jesus’ name, Amen.” Both prayers can be offered with success. Always keep praying in Jesus’ name and never give up. And be sure to give thanks and give God all the glory for what He does in our lives.

We would invite you to try praying in Jesus’ name and see what a difference that can make in your life. Even if you have faith in Jesus’ name, a sick person can be made well for example.
Who got prayer taken out of schools?
We do not know who got prayer taken out of the schools, but this does not mean it is final. You can pray and ask God that He would restore prayer made in Jesus’ name to schools. The battle is never over and so we should be diligent about training our kids to pray in school and to seek the Lord to help the teachers and bless the schools with His presence. God knows our hearts and wants a relationship with everyone who attends school, and so it is important to realize that God is greater than man made rules. He can overcome the rules and change the rules and make better rules! Ask God today to Divinely intervene in the schools in Jesus’ name.

As parents we often have a burden for our children to know God and to walk in His ways.

We should pray continually, in faith in God, for our families. Never lose hope in God. God can change a wayward child, He can restore marriages, He can put together broken families. God is a God of love, forgiveness, and healing. We must pray for His blessing, love, forgiveness, protection, and help in our families to live in such a way that it brings great honor to His name! Here is an example prayer to offer for our families: “Dear Heavenly Father. We come to you in Jesus’ name. We pray O Father that all our children will be in your care and provision today. And more importantly, if any of them have not received Christ as their Savior, we pray that you would reach and save them today, this day, in Jesus’ name.

Prayer is so important because it serves as a lifeline between God and us. Prayer is God’s way of connecting with us and of revealing His will to us. It is the way in which God speaks to us.

Pray that God would grant you a humble heart and that He would bring healing to your heart and life in Jesus’ name. Pray that God’s will would be done in your life and that all fear and anxiety would go in Jesus’ name. That you would be bold in love, in joy, and in peace. Pray for Divine interventions in Jesus’ name. God hears your prayer and He cares about everything going on in your life. Nothing is too hard for the Lord.

How do I know if my prayer is God’s will?
To know if a prayer is in line with God’s will, the best place you can go to is the Bible. The Bible is the mirror of God’s will for our lives, so it will reveal what God’s will is in a situation. It is very important to accept the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior in order to understand the Bible and God’s will for your life. If you do not have your spiritual eyes opened then it is much harder to figure out what God is doing and how you are involved in that. So you can pray this prayer to receive Jesus as your Savior and to begin to know God’s will: “Dear Heavenly Father, I thank you for sending Jesus Christ to die for my sins. I believe that Jesus died for my sins and rose again three days later. I believe that He also sent the Holy Spirit to indwell those who believe upon Him. I ask you Heavenly Father to forgive my sins and based on the blood of Jesus which takes away my sins, I receive the gift of your Holy Spirit today. In Jesus’ name, Amen.” And then you can also pray in addition to the salvation prayer “Thank you Lord Jesus for your work of salvation for me. Thank you for dying on the cross so that I could have my sins forgiven and be reconciled with God. I thank you Lord Jesus for this amazing thing you have done for me. I want to bless your Holy Name today!”
Can I pray the same prayer everyday?
While you can pray the same prayer every day, it is a good idea to figure out new things to communicate with God. For example, you may thank the Lord for the food he gives you each day. But you could also add to that other blessings you are thankful for. For example, you could say, thank you Lord God for the shelter over my head, thank you for the people around me, and thank you Lord for the school I attend. Also, it is not a problem to ask God for things as well. You could say, “Lord please have someone come and fix the leaky roof I have or please help me do well on my exams, in Jesus’ name, Amen.” God’s role in your life is to be your Father, so you can ask Him the same things you would your earthly father.
Can you pray a missed prayer?
You can pray at any time and at any place. The important thing to know is that God is merciful and gracious, and that we don’t earn brownie points by saying more or less prayers. Everything is a gift from God. We cannot earn God’s favor, we just receive it like little children. So the important thing is to realize that since everything is a gift, we can always go to God as our Father. Based on what Jesus Christ did for us when He died for our sins on the cross. Jesus is God’s ladder that came down from Heaven to us. So when we accept that Jesus died for our sins, all our sins our forgiven by God. It is totally a gift, just like the air you breathe. You don’t have to pay a penny for it, it just comes into your lungs and sustains you. In the same way, God gives the Holy Spirit to anyone who asks Him. Right now, you can ask the Holy Spirit to come into your heart and life. Just pray this prayer: “Dear God, I want to know you personally, please do come into my heart and life. I believe that you sent Jesus to die for my sins and that He rose three days later. I ask that you now forgive my sins and come into my Heart and make me a new person, in Jesus’ name, Amen.” If you prayed this prayer you can be assured that God will hear your prayers. God hears the prayers of those who are seeking Him!

IS THERE A Prayer to get pregnant?
Yes, it is Biblical to ask to Lord to open your womb and make you pregnant. It is also important to make sure you have your life setup in a good way so as to be the best parents you can be to a new child. So if you are not married, make sure you get married so that the child can grow up in a stable home environment. If you are living together, it is important to get married as soon as possible if you are going to have kids. God designed marriage as a commitment which excludes all others from coming in on that commitment. It gives the most freedom being married because it focuses your energy and time on the one relationship rather than having multiple relationships which is complicated and very stressful. So do get married and ask the Lord to open your womb if you are married. You can pray a prayer like this: “Heavenly Father, thank you for your life giving power. Thank you that you are the one who brings life into this world. Thank you Lord that you are good to us. We believe that you sent your only Son to die for our sins and take them away. We also believe that by the stripes of Jesus Christ we are made whole. We ask you Lord based on the fact that Jesus died and rose again, that you would bring this same life giving power to my womb. We pray that this child would give his heart and life to you, and that he or she would accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior at a young age. We dedicated and commit this child to you, as your beloved child, in Jesus’ name, Amen.”

I ask you Lord to setup Divine appointments so that I can be put in a position which is most suited to the gifts and talents you have blessed me with. I thank you Lord for providing me with jobs in the past and I thank you Lord for this job you will provide me with in the future. In Jesus’ name, Amen!”

What to do if you don’t have a prayer mat?
You can pray without a prayer mat. It is not a requirement to get closer to God. The only thing that draws us closer to God is by having a relationship with Him. That is found by recognizing that without God we are without hope, and that God sent His only perfect Son Jesus Christ into the world to establish a relationship with all of mankind. So that whoever believes that Jesus died for their sins, has their sins removed, and the way is made clear unto God only through Jesus Christ. That is how everyone should approach God, on the basis of faith in Jesus Christ.
