Prayer is a foundational piece of being a Christian. Paul teaches us frequently in the New Testament to pray without ceasing but many of us don’t know how to pray. Our modern prayers might have more in common with a wish list to Santa Claus than prayer as understood by the early church and Jews. So, what is prayer and how are we to pray? This lesson will help you understand the purpose and structure of Prayer as taught in the Old and New Testaments and equip you with some simple principles to grow in your personal prayer life.

This lesson is a part of the Basics of Christian Living series. This 9-part series is focused on how to practice daily Christian living according to God’s instructions through the Bible. To learn more about how we got the Bible and if you can trust it, we recommend you explore our Basics of Apologetics series: https://evidence4faith.org/portfolio/basics-of-apologetics-course/

My goal is that their hearts, having been knit together in love, may be encouraged, and that they may have all the riches that assurance brings in their understanding of the knowledge of the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. - Colossians 2:2-3
