Our prayers should be?

* I was praying out of God's word* I was seeking God to pray in spirit in truth*There should be freedom in the spirit when praying* God puts things on peoples hearts to pray* Somtime our prayers are weeping mourning sad, happy* somtimes God brakes our hearts when we pray* We are to feel as God feels when we pray" If you know the truth it will set you free" God's would guides us and sets us free from our ways. " Word is a lamp unto our feet"
~ Truth is essentail when praying
* pray in spirit and truth. John 4* that is why I pray with the word* our emotions can fool us* our ideas are ours not Gods* we are to search the word to know how to pray* we don't how to pray* even the disciples ask how to pray* we need God's help to prayThe word is most imporatnt when we pray* we are fools with out the word
If you are upset with me, then you have to be upset with God, I pray nothing but his word. How then can you be upset, if I am praying the Bible? Is it parts you do not like?

Turn from your burning anger and relent from this disaster against your people. Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you swore by your own self, and said to them, 'I will multiply your offspring as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have promised I will give to your offspring, and they shall inherit it forever.'" 14And the LORD relented from the disaster that he had spoken of bringing on his people."
