Help us Lord to understand how and why to pray to you. We have faltered and erred in our prayers and many a time have just read through prayers instead of understanding and praying them meaningfully.

Teach us to prepare before prayer and then to concentrate well while reading and praying it. May our prayers be felt and may they bring life to the weak and weary.

Give us the faith which can move mountains so that when we pray in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, results will be felt and seen. God, bless us to pray with intent, faith and surety. Amen.
