Teaching Your Teens About Prayer

Credit :

If I could get in a time machine and go back to teenaged Greg I'd tell him one thing ... learn how to pray.

Sadly, it took me about four decades to begin to truly discover the power of prayer. Once I did, it felt like for the majority of my life I'd been throwing dirt clods at Satan only to discover there was a bazooka in the closet.

Now that I'm learning the power of prayer I can scream, "Say hello to my little friend" as I blast away at Satan's strongholds in my life, church, community and nation! I can worship God and praise him for who he is and what he has done! I can intercede at Jesus' side for both believers and unbelievers alike!

Oh how I wish I would have learned the art and science of prayer as a teenager! Instead, I followed the model of many of my leaders who used prayer more like holy water to sanctify their white board plans.

Instead it is a secret weapon to be aimed at the enemy of our souls. It is a largely untapped pipeline for both earthly and spiritual provisions straight from Heaven's limitless reservoirs to us!
