## The laws/keys of prayer
---

1. Has to be a prayer of faith
2. Has to be a prayer of expectations
3. Has to be a prayer of love

### Prayer of faith
Tying un-fruitfulness to prayer.
Have faith in God

Was Jesus talking about a literal mountain?
most likely figurative
Mountain could mean the difficulties in our lives

Have faith in God: Hebrews 11:6

We much rather pray for god to change our situation or other people and not our own heart
Real faith requires listening to God in the word and what he says in the prayer closet

### Prayer of expectation
Verse 24

Are our prayers a formality?
Are our prayers of hope?
They need to have expectations

### Prayer of love
Verse 25

see Lords Prayer Matthew 5:12 14,15

Three people here
- Myself
- Other person
- God

***Me <-> God:***
Asking for forgiveness (John 3:16)

***Me <-> Anyone else:***
Forgive those who have something against us or sinned against us.

Offer forgiveness the same way he offered it to us

Matthew 5:23-34
Flips it! Reconcile your sin against your brother!

Vertical vs horizontal relationship

### Thoughts

Me <-> God has to be right before Me<-> Others will be right
Pray for how to pray

Our prayer life should/needs to mimic scripture!
