Everyone who wants to know God may pray. 1 John 4:15
Everyone who has sinned and wants forgiveness may pray.
Romans 8:1,2, 1 John 1:9
How to Pray: Praying is simply talking with God.
God is a person and we relate to Him as a person. Therefore, we speak to Him as a person. God's children have immediate access to God anytime, anywhere, and about anything. 1 John 5:1, Hebrews 4:16
To enter into a relationship with God, we must acknowledge our need for forgiveness of our sins and believe God by trusting Him to give us eternal life through Jesus Christ. 1 John 5:10-14, Hebrews 11:6
