    PRAYER FROM THE

    HEART
    PSALM 119: 145 NIV
    I call with all my heart; answer me, O Lord,
    and I will obey your decrees
    Introduction:
    Jesus spoke a great deal about the heart.
    The heart is the center and source of whole
    inner life – thinking, feeling and willing.

    God is concerned, primarily, about the


    heart. The Lord wants us to have a healthy
    heart not only spiritually but also
    physically.
    In 1 Samuel 16:7, “He said to
    Samuel, ‘The Lord does not look at
    the things people look at. People
    look at the outward appearance,
    but the Lord looks at the heart”

    • When we pray, the Lord knows


    the motive of our heart.
    TWO BIBLE
    CHARACTERS WHO
    PRAYED FROM THE HEART
    1. HANNAH

    “And she was in bitterness


    of soul, and prayed to the
    LORD and wept in anguish”
    1 Samuel 1:10
    2. HEZEKIAH
    “ Then he turned his face toward the
    wall, and prayed to the LORD, saying,
    “Remember now, O Lord, how I have
    walked before you in truth and with
    a loyal heart, and have done what
    was good in Your sight. And Hezekiah
    wept bitterly” 2 Kings 20: 2-3
    1. PRAYER IS A RELATIONSHIP NOT
    AN ACTIVITY
    Praying consistently builds a
    personal relationship with God that
    allows Him to see our true inner self
    - our HEART .
    2. PRAYER CHANGES US
    > As we draw closer to God, our
    spirit changed within.
    > We become an intercessor.
    > The Holy Spirit reveals the
    will of God through His
    Scriptures
    3. PRAYER REQUIRES SPIRITUAL
    CONCENTRATION
    • Spiritual concentration is essential
    to effective prayer. It means to
    recognize and to relate on how God
    answers our prayer.
    • It also means to be sensitive in His
    instructions.
    HINDRANCES TO PRAYER

    1. Sin (Ps. 66:18)


    2. Relationship to others (Matt.
    5:23-24)
    3. Ritual (Matt. 6:5-8)
    4. Disobedience (Deut. 28:15)
    Psalm 62:8
    Trust in him at all
    times, you people; pour
    out your hearts to him,
    for God is our refuge.
    CONCLUSION
    God answered our prayer in different ways
    whether yes, no or not yet but whatever
    answer you will receive, always be thankful.
    God knows what’s best for you.

    No matter what your situation might seem…..
