Lesson One: God’s Attributes and How They Influence our Practice of Prayer 

The following are some of the attributes of God, attitudes we can have.      

1. Psalm 90:2 - Eternal. I have the assurance that the intimacy I develop with God through prayer will last until eternity.   


2. Hebrews 13:8 - Unchanging. God’s dealing and revealed will in the past guide me in praying according to His will today.


3. Jeremiah 23:23,24 - Omnipresent
   
    


4. Psalm 139:1-5 - Omniscient. Things that I cannot fully express in words, I can quietly lift up to God and trust that He understands.


5. Jeremiah 32:17 - Omnipresent. I boldly pray for the humanly `impossible’ things.  


6. Psalm 115:3 - Sovereign.  I submit to however God pleases to answer my prayers. 


7. 1 John 3:1- Loving. I can express myself to God honestly without fear.


8. Genesis 18:25 - Righteous. I can entreat Him to establish His righteousness over evil doings in this world. 


9. Hebrews 10:23 - Faithful.  I don’t have to be anxious if God’s answer to my prayer seems to be delayed. 


10. 1 Peter 1:14-16 - Holy. I can entreat Him to establish His righteousness over evil doings in this world.


11. All of the above! Often times I talk to God just to enjoy His presence and not to ask anything from Him.
