Hello and welcome to the Truth Seekers Podcast.

Today's episode is part of our praying the Bible series.

Each month we read a verse from the Bible and learn how to pray it back to God.

Have you ever struggled with knowing how to pray to God? Sometimes we don't always

know how to pray or what to pray when we're talking to God. The good news is that God has given us

the Bible and the Bible is filled with all kinds of truths that we can pray back to God.

When we are at a loss and don't know how or what to pray, we can turn to the Bible to give us truths that we can stand on and believe in when we pray to God.

Did you know that when you ask Jesus into your heart you became a child of God?

The Bible says that we can have confidence when we come

before God and talk to him in prayer because he is our father and he hears us.

Today I am going to show you how we can pray the Bible.

Before we start, I'd also like to remind you and your parents that I have created

downloadable prayer guides for each of the praying the Bible episodes.

You can download the guides and they are free and available through my website

and Jesus is talking to his disciples about what it means to follow him. Those who follow Jesus and believe in him will stay close to him.

Have you ever seen a picture of a cluster of grapes hanging from a vine?

Jesus said that he is like a vine and we are like the branch connected

to the vine that produces the grapes. Without staying close to Jesus we cannot

produce fruit just like the vine gives the branch nutrients
