12. Becoming Set Apart through the Simplicity of Prayer

<p>Prayer is a primary method of God setting us apart, making us holy. Yeshua taught us the three "R's" of  prayer: Recognition, Repentance, and Request. These three concepts can simplify our convoluted and sometimes misguided ideas about prayer. In this episode, we identify these principles and how we should be applying them.</p><p>Recognition: we need to recognize God for all he is, for all he has done, and all he is doing. Acknowledging his authority and purpose helps us keep our perspective.</p><p>Repentance: confession and repentance are not only good for the soul, they are a requirement. This is the opportunity to make sure we are being open and honest with God about all conflict in our lives.</p><p>Request: with the correct perspective of God, and a humble heart of repentance, we are now in a state in which we can request what’s appropriate and necessary in our lives, not just flippant and shallow desires of the moment. God has promised to meet our needs, not our wants.</p><p>Be sure to visit <a href="http://coreofthebible.org" target="_blank">coreofthebible.org</a> to join the conversation through comments, to see daily blog posts on this and other topics, and to find free downloadable resources regarding the message of the Bible reduced to its simplest form.</p><p>Have questions about todays topic, or comments or insights you would like to share?
