One of the first lessons we give to our infant children is how to talk. We look at them as they first learn to follow us with their eyes and say "momma…daddy" and so on. We teach them how to talk, and they learn by imitation and repetition.
One of the first lessons we need to learn from our Heavenly Father is His 'how to talk to Me' lesson. These lessons are what the Bible teaches on prayer. If you have never done so, you would be enriched beyond measure to go from cover to cover in this book and personally find out all that your Father wants you to know about prayer.
Many years ago someone challenged me, just like I am challenging you. They said to me, "Before you buy or read another book or article on prayer, take as long as it takes to listen to EVERYTHING the One you are PRAYING TO has to say about how, when, where, and why YOU SHOULD PRAY TO HIM!" That makes sense, doesn't it? So I took a Bible and a blue highlighter and read every word of the Bible.
