For those who haven't been Christians for very long

For those who haven't been Christians for very long, questions like, "How do I pray?"
"Why do I need to pray?"
"Will my prayers be answered?"
...may arise!
...In fact, prayer is... invisible, but...a spiritual battle!
...Christians who have only recently embraced faith may be confused, unable to understand the true nature of this spiritual battle.

The difference between a physical war and a spiritual war is...🤔...the winner is already decided.
...In a physical war...you don't know if you'll win until you actually fight it.
...However, when we pray in the name of Jesus Christ, you will win!
...1 John 5:4.
..."For those born of God overcome the world. This is the victory that overcomes the world: our faith."
...The secret to having your prayers answered is humility before God. And it is important to repent before God❗️.
...God answers such prayers.
...The devil will continue to send us "disappointment" every day.

However, God gives us "hope✨".
...Do not listen to the voices that discourage you.
If you do, you will be victorious❗️.
Shalom😃
