Is there a Right way to Approach God for Prayer?

Lets navigate together and see if we can enrich our relationship with God through Jesus Christ, with the power of Holy Spirit.

Lets think and questions ourself, if I am doing it right? Can I learn something New. This post is to develop our insight and our approach towards God.

Before You Pray, Prepare Your Whole Being

"Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need." — Hebrews 4:16

🔷 1. Awaken the Awareness: Who Are You Approaching?

You are entering before:

The Creator of Heaven and Earth (Gen 1:1)
The One who dwells in unapproachable light (1 Tim 6:16)
The One before whom seraphim cry “Holy, Holy, Holy” without ceasing (Isa 6:1–3)

☛ Pause. Remind yourself:
"I am entering the Throne Room of the Ancient of Days.
The Heavens are open, angels observe, and the Spirit of God dwells in me."

🔷 2. The Posture of the Heart: Reverence, Not Performance

"The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise." — Psalm 51:17

God doesn’t need perfection. He’s not looking for polished words. He seeks:

Humility over performance
Authenticity over ritual
Brokenness over bravado

Let your soul kneel before your mouth opens.

🔷 3. Thanksgiving: The Gate into His Presence

"Enter His gates with thanksgiving, and His courts with praise." — Psalm 100:4

Before you ask, thank Him.

Thank Him for life, breath, salvation, mercy, and His Son.
Thank Him for what you see and don’t see.
Thanksgiving aligns your heart with His goodness.

🔷 4. Repentance: Wash Before You Enter

"Who may ascend the hill of the LORD? He who has clean hands and a pure heart." — Psalm 24:3–4

Just like the priests in the tabernacle, cleanse yourself daily.

Ask the Spirit to reveal sin (thoughts, words, actions, dreams)
Confess and renounce them (1 John 1:9)
Forgive others—unforgiveness blocks access (Matt 6:15)

🔷 5. Sanctification: Be Set Apart in Soul and Spirit

Sanctification is not striving—it's surrender.

Invite the Holy Spirit to set you apart
Remove distractions, desires, and idols
Yield to the process of holiness (2 Tim 2:21)

🔷 6. Cleansing: Let the Blood Speak

"How much more shall the blood of Christ… cleanse your conscience… to serve the living God?" — Hebrews 9:14

Speak the blood of Jesus over:

Your mind (thoughts, imaginations)
Your heart (motives, emotions)
Your body (health, lust, defilement)
Your past (trauma, guilt, shame)

The blood clears the legal grounds Satan may claim.

🔷 7. Reverence and Fear of the Lord: Not Casual, But Holy

"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." — Proverbs 9:10

Ask God to restore the fear of the Lord in you.

Fear doesn’t mean terror—it means awe, surrender, and trembling love.
Don’t rush. Wait. Let stillness prepare you.

🔷 8. The Tabernacle Blueprint for Daily Prayer (Inner Court Model)

Based on the Moses’ Tabernacle (Exodus 25–30) — a heavenly shadow

Station	What It Represents
1. Outer Court	Thanksgiving and Praise – Psalm 100:4
2. Brazen Altar	Repentance, the Cross, the Blood – Hebrews 9:14
3. Laver of Water	Word of God cleansing and renewal – Ephesians 5:26
4. Golden Lampstand	Holy Spirit, Illumination, Revelation – Zechariah 4, John 16:13
5. Table of Showbread	Communion, Fellowship, Provision – John 6:35
6. Altar of Incense	Worship and Intercession rising – Revelation 5:8, Psalm 141:2
7. Ark of the Covenant	Intimacy with God, Glory, and Sovereign Authority – Hebrews 9:4–5

⟶ This is the spiritual map to deepen your encounter.

🔷 9. Ask to Be Clothed Anew Daily

"Put on the Lord Jesus Christ." — Romans 13:14

Ask for the garments of righteousness (Isaiah 61:10)
Put on the armor of God (Ephesians 6:10–18)
Ask for the mantles and oil to fulfill your purpose

🔷 10. Present Yourself as a Living Sacrifice

"Present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God." — Romans 12:1

Lay down desires, ambitions, and plans
Ask God to breathe His will into you

🌿 Final Encouragement

"Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you." — James 4:8

Before you ask Him for anything, come to know Him.
Let the weight of His glory settle upon your soul.
Let the Spirit intercede through you.
Let your weakness become His strength.

And may your prayer life not just be a duty, but a dwelling place—where your heart burns, your soul bows, and your spirit soars into the Holy Place.
