Why haven't things been changing in all of our lives? Well, prayer and unbelief have been the missing links. However, since God has been laying the foundation through past messages, we know what our life has been missing. The question now is, do we believe our prayer life can increase now?
If we believe it can, then we need to be teachable just like the disciples. Whether we have been on this Christian journey for a long time or just starting, we ALL need to learn how to pray. As we seen in scripture, prayers of a righteous person is a powerful force to be reckoned with. So, why would we not want to learn how to pray effectively.
I firmly believe we all want our prayer life to increase and are willing to be teachable. Part of learning is answering questions so we see where we are and where we are going. So, please answer the following questions.
Did you have unbelief that your prayer life could change?
What excuses did you use to not pray?
What are the 7 different types of prayer?
Is there one or more of these types of prayer that stood out to you that you haven't been doing, but are going to start?
What stood out to you with the correlation between the Lord's Prayer and the 7 different types of prayer?
As always, what was your "aha" moment?
It's a Choice!

So I Posted this a few days ago but it must not of worked so I shall try again. Glad I saved it on another document lol.
Did you have unbelief that your prayer life could change?
I think it was just not unbelief that it could change but unbelief that it was going to do anything like maybe it will maybe it won't.
What excuses did you use to not pray?
So why pray if you feel like it's a 50/50 shot right. This month has been a month of holding fast to our confession of faith which what we speak really does have power when it's positive and when it's negative and so it's been an eye-opening conc…

4. Is there one or more of these types of prayer that stood out to you that you haven't been doing, but are going to start?
-I'm just going to say all of them. I mean, some of them I have been unknowingly praying and now I realize what they are, and then many of them I have not been praying. So now that I have a little more of an understanding of them I can pray them and more purposefull…
1)Did you have unbelief that your prayer life could change?/2)What excuses did you use to not pray?
I did have unbelief that my prayer life could change, and I blamed it on the stage of life I’m in with small humans. Either my prayer time is interrupted or intruded upon with distractions for days (or my prayers life is reduce to “Lord help! These humans are driving me crazy…” or “God please forgive the way I handled that?”)

4- In all honesty I would say all seven but the main two. Intercession! During the last intercessory prayer I see the importance of knowing what God is seeing. Filling in the gap bridging that space that they cannot get pass. Also Petition! The statement you made totally…
Thank you for this message Ps. Riley. I started keeping a written journal just recently during prayer and quiet time with God and just Friday I wrote down "I want a relationship with You (God) that I haven't had yet". And wouldn't you know, you said that exact phrase during the message. I knew that God was answering that cry of my heart and presenting the key of prayer to bring about that newness of and deeper relationship. So thank you for being a vessel used to bring this message about!
Did you have unbelief that your prayer life could change? I did.

I was praying, but not in the effectual way that…
