LW:Some people only pray when trouble comes. This is very sad, though it is true that the Lord does give a special promise for times of trouble.

Study 5B WHY, WHEN AND HOW TO PRAY
Key Verse: ““…they should always pray and not give up.”” (Luke 18:1)
If a bad man (and the unjust judge was that) will yield to the entreaty of a poor widow, how much more will God yield to the earnest prayers of His people!
2 . WHEN should we pray ?
The answer is, ““Always!”” which means at all times and in all circumstances. See how the apostle Paul puts it in Ephesians 6:18 and 1 Thessalonians 5:17. When should we pray?
1. At regular stated times. We do many things daily by habit, and we should form the habit of prayer –- look up Psalm 55:17, and compare Daniel 6:10.
2. When the Holy Spirit urges us. Have we not all had this experience? – look up Romans 8:26-27. As surely as we go into the place of prayer so surely is the Holy Spirit present to guide us in our praying. It is wonderful to be thus guided by Him to pray for someone for whom previously we had no thought of praying, and afterwards to discover that our prayer was the channel through which God met a special need.
3. When cares and troubles press upon us. Some people only pray when trouble comes. This is very sad, though it is true that the Lord does give a special promise for times of trouble. Look it up in Psalm 50:15, and notice that His promise is not for deliverance from the trouble but for something better –- deliverance in the trouble. Paul and Silas enjoyed such deliverance –- Acts 16:25.
4. At all times of special need. Such times arise in the life of all of us. Look up Acts 12:5, and compare James 5:13-15 and 17-18.
5. When we can we should pray with others. There is a place for private prayer (Matthew 6:6), but there is a special invitation to, and value in, united prayer. Look up Matthew 18:19-20, and compare Acts 1:13-14 –- and notice Acts 3:1.
3 . HOW should we pray?
1. We are to pray like the publican and not like the Pharisee (verses 10-13).
2. We are to pray persistently, without fainting (verses 1-8).
3. We are to pray with child-like simplicity and trust. Verses 16 and 17
Are you proving what a practical thing prayer is, and that nothing is too great or too small to pray about?
