The HOW of Prayer
It’s PRAYER-O-RAMA 2021 here on GUWG. So far, we’ve looked at the WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN and WHY of prayer. Today, we’ll look at the HOW.
So, how should we pray? First, let’s start with how NOT to pray:
- Don’t do it for show. Jesus said: “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men.” (Matthew 6:5)
- Don’t babble. Jesus also said: “And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like the pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.” (Matthew 6:7)
So how SHOULD we pray?
The WHERE and WHEN of Prayer

So, WHERE should we pray?
That answer’s simple: everywhere.

The WHO of Prayer
The one concern of the devil is to keep Christians from praying. He fears nothing from prayerless studies, prayerless work, prayerless religion. He laughs at our toil, mocks at our wisdom, but trembles when we pray. (Samuel Chadwick)
