Hey there Adland family, just like to say before i start my second lesson on how to Pray, i'd like to thank my real friends for sticking by me yesterday with your posts on a forum i did which now termininated due to a heart that has been damaged of my own accord. So when all is gone from me i return back to pray to my (our) Father Jesus Christ.  Lets begin.  Topic for today is Pray and the titile "Pray Like This" 1.) Read the prayer in Matthew 6:7-13.  2.) List the several differant elements that make up this prayer. Which of these do you focus on regularly? Which do you tend to neglect? 3.) Many times our prayers are concentrated on asking for certain needs to be met. Jesus teaches us first of all focus on God and give him the honor and praise he deserves. 4.) Do you have difficulty praising God? If so, use the Book of Psalms to train you. Start out with Psalm 24. Read it out loud.   Until tomorrow, lets remember that No one is your best friend except God. Thank again for yesterdays postings Guys. Next Topic will be on " The Joy of Prayer". Have an awesome successful day!  (Adlandsprayerwarrior)

Hi Thomas
thanks for part 2- I did part 1 last night very late but it was extremely useful.  I'm sorry I didn't give you advice for the issue you raised last night; I didn't really feel qualified to give you guidance but my thoughts on the matter, painful as it is, is to let friend number 1 go...if your friendship means something then time will heal.
I don't know what happened but I get to thinking about the loss of a friend of my own recently.  I asked her for help which she freely gave.  I then asked her for her help once again, against my better judgement.  I knew that she had already helped me but she was the only one that could help my situation at that time.
Unfortunately she sent me a text asking me not to call again as she had done all she was prepared to do.  That hurt me so bad but I totally understood.  I have had to let her go though I so wanted to call her and apologise but I felt I'd make the situation worse.  I'm hoping time will heal...

thanks for your reply.  I'll probably mail you personally as don't want to clog up the forums with my problems.  speak soon.

Not Qualified? hmmm ok but i beg to differ, everyone is intitled to there opinion and they all have rights to choose what is best for them. We learn from differences of opinions and advices, that is how we grow. I did as you suggested incase you wanted to know, i let one go to let the other enjoy there friendship. I being heartbroken at the moment, will do as i have always done and that was to obey in Gods commands. One more thing your problem is my problem. If i cant handle what ever comes my way then i have no Faith at all.

First Thomas I'd lie to say I know what you are refering too, but I missed it. Sorry!
I put first & foremost the honor & praise God deserves. Then come the requests as that is how we are instructed to pray.
You are right God has to be first in our lives.
God Bless yOU!
I hope all is well with your soul today. Keep your chin up & keep your eyes on God Thomas.
The rest will come when he wants it too, not when we want it too.
God Bless YOU Brother
