Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth and the Life. We follow Him by preaching His message, caring for His disciples and serving others as He served.
We must spend time with God in order to have a relationship with Him. In prayer, we need to be seeking God's will rather than merely presenting Him with a wish list. We need to pray for others in addition to ourselves and yearn for a relationship with God. The Bible has several prayers offered up by faithful men of God that we can study for examples of how we should pray.
