Prayer for New Beginners — Introduction: Getting Started

Introduction

Brothers and sisters, many new believers want to pray, but they do not always know how to begin.

Some ask, "What should I say?" Others wonder, "Is my prayer too short?" Some feel weak in faith. Some feel ashamed because they do not know the right words.

This four-week lesson plan will help new believers learn prayer step by step.

In Week 1, we will learn what prayer is and why it matters.

In Week 2, we will learn from the Lord's Prayer.

In Week 3, we will practice a simple way to pray.

In Week 4, we will learn to keep praying even when answers seem delayed.

Prayer is not only something we study. Prayer is something we practice.

As we pray, God teaches us. He strengthens us. He changes our hearts.

So brothers and sisters, let us begin with this simple request:

"Lord, teach us to pray."
