How do you pray about the needs and desires in your life? Many people say it so casually, "Just pray about it! Get the plan of God for your life." But the truth is, many people don't really know how to pray.

Many years ago, I heard Brother Kenneth Hagin use the analogy that in the field of sports, we have baseball, football, and basketball. For all three there are certain rules that govern each sport. You can't play football with baseball rules.

It's the same thing with prayer. There are different rules that go along with each kind of prayer outlined in the Word of God.

We simply put all prayer in the same sack, shake it up and think it will work. Then we wonder why some of our prayers aren't coming to pass. It's because we are using the wrong kind of rules with certain kinds of prayer.

What is prayer? The basic definition of prayer is communion and intercourse. Intercourse is the intermingling of two lives; intimate conversation; the act of sharing or holding in common.

Prayer is communing your spirit with the living God. When you are in a position to commune with God, you do not fear Him. You approach Him with love to have fellowship with Him. Fellowship is companionship, partnership, and joint interests.

The Word tells us to come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need (Heb. 4:16).

We don't crawl in like beggars. We approach Father God as though we belong there.

Why? Because we are His children.
