I dedicate this book to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the One and only incarnate Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.
He is the mediator of a new covenant who listens to and answers prayer.
To Him be the glory, honor, power, praise, majesty, dominion, and adoration now and forever.
Amen.

Preface
Our Lord said in Matthew 21:21-22, I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, Go throw yourself into the sea, and it will be done, If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.
When we are going through trials and tribulations, in any difficult times, disappointment of any source, and during hardships, we must pray that God the Father Almighty who sent His only Begotten Son into the world will bring good things to pass with His love for us through His Son Jesus Christ.
We must also exercise strong faith and courage to desire the best from the Lord. When we are desperate with our situation, we must turn immediately to the Word of God for answers and comfort in tribulations. Find courage to pray until the heavens open and God answers that prayer.
The Holy Bible teaches us through so many stories of God’s purposes how He fulfills His Will, how He triumphs over all the work of evil, such as hatred, violence, wickedness, etc. and how God brings great changes and blessings to His people by the power of the Gospel of Christ. The Bible also enlightens our hearts, reminding us how God fulfills His promises in the lives of His people when God’s people pray in confidence to Him.
God also works supernaturally when we pray according to what God has spoken about in the Scriptures. We must allow God to restore the desires of our hearts and fulfill them if He knows that our heart’s desires are good for us.
My prayer is that this book will bring great changes into the lives of those who read it, no matter what church denomination, and also in the heart and mind of other people of different religions and religious perspectives and beliefs all over the world.

Lord, Teach Us How to Pray
In Luke Gospel Chapter 11: 1-13 and in the book of Matthew 6:5-14, during the time of Our Lord’s earthly ministry, He was praying in a certain place. When He finished, His prayer was so inspired that one of His disciples said to Him, Lord teach us to pray, just as John taught His disciples.
Jesus said to them, "When you pray, say:
-
"Our Father who are in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come
your will be done, on earth as it is written in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our debts
as we forgive our debtors.
Lead us not into temptation and deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever."

Our Lord indicates the area of concern that all the body of Christ must concentrate on in a Christian’s prayer. Our Lord said believer’s greatest concern in prayers and in our lives should be the hallowing of the name of God. It is the utmost important that God be reverenced, glorified and exalted in our lives.
In our prayer and in our daily walk we must be intensely concerned with the reputation of God, awareness of who God is in our lives, in church, His gospel and His kingdom.
We must pray for the kingdom of God on earth now and with its ultimate fulfillment in the future. We must pray for His Will to be done in our lives which means that we must sincerely desire God’s will and purpose to be fulfilled in our lives and the lives of our families, relatives, and friends according to His eternal plan.
Believers must determine the will of God primarily in His revealed infinite word, the Bible, and through the Holy Spirit’s leading in our hearts and mind.
We should pray for our daily bread and needs. Our prayers must be concerned sins and willingness to be able to forgive those of who trespasses, or have done any form of evil against us. Believers must pray for deliverance from the enemies, Satan’s enmity and evil its evil purpose, we must pray for deliverance from his power and schemes and all his tricky games in believers mind and soul.
Our Lord Jesus Christ emphasizes that all Christians must be determine, ready, and willingly to forgive
