3 Things we need concerning prayer.

1. Faithfulness to God's will, above our own.

2. To be available.  Make time for God.  There is never going to be
enough time.

3. To be teachable.  Be willing to hear what God may have to say to you. 



There.  That's the bottom line.  For those who want something short, you've got it. 
If anyone wants more of an explanation on these three crucial foundations of prayer,
then please read below.































1. Faithfulness to God's will above our own.  This is the simplest of the three, it
is exactly what it sounds like.  That if you know what is right and wrong and you
know what God would want you to do, then it is up to you to do it.  Disregard what
you want to do, for we are selfish in nature as well as we hate going outside
of our comfort zone.

2. Be available.  We always will make time in our day for what we find important. 
If you can make time to be on Kupika, then guess what.  You can make time to pray.

3. Be teachable.  I think we've all come across unteachable individuals.  Their
primary characteristic is that they don't listen.  They are quick to interrupt,
quick to argue, and quick to walk away.  They believe they are right and that anyone
who disagrees with them is wrong.  This is to be unteachable, because it is to be
unwilling to learn.  Often enough we see these people on political talk stations,
always interrupting one another, trying to shout their ideas over each other's.  Be
wary for those who are unwilling to listen.

So guess what?  We all need to approach not just God but also one another with a
heart that is willing to be taught.  Meaning that we are willing to listen, even if
we feel we know better.  For if we don't give others the chance to tell us anything,
then how can we expect them to give us the chance that we so eagerly denied them?  It
doesn't matter who's "right" or "wrong", for those are simply opinions.  We know well
enough that 2 people can hold different views on the same matter and both believe
that they are the one who's right. 

So.  When are you making time to be with God?
