We need only minuscule portion of each to begin praying. We will need more of these qualities as we continue in prayer, and we will be given more as we ask for more. The Bible is the resource of prayer. Jesus Christ is the teacher on prayer. The Lord's Prayer is the prayer to start all prayer.
Prayer is about physical and spiritual survival.
We can pray about anything. Seeking God's forgiveness, for ourselves and others, is an essential aspect of prayer. By praying, we enter into moral and spiritual warfare that tests us to the limits. God will, in fact, help us in times of trial and temptation.
