As a Christian, I have learned never to underestimate the power of prayer. Prayer is my connection with God. Prayer is talking to God and establishing a deep connection with Him. We often pray for many different things that take place in our lives. Life sometimes throws many challenges towards us, and it is only through prayer that we seek for God’s guidance. It matters less how you pray or where you pray from, but the most important thing in a prayer is the purpose and passion behind it. As Christians, we pray because we believe and know that God will listen to us and answer us. His answers might not be according to our will, but they are always the best.
There is so much that we want for ourselves and our loved ones. Many a times we ask ourselves, ‘How can we possibly accomplish all of them?’ The answer often lies in prayers. Our prayers have great power over the issues or the person we are praying for. We must be patient and trust God to work in His way and in His time. The Bible contains many of God’s promises to us, and we have to use these promises from God’s words as the basis for praying. We have to pray so that those promises can be a reality in our lives.
In order to witness the power of prayer, we need to pray earnestly pleading with God. Prayer is our communion with God and, therefore, we need to open our hearts and pour out our grief to Him. The Lord is our Father, and we are His children. As His children, we need to have an open expression of our woes just as a child speaks to his father or mother. Consider the story of Hannah in the Bible. After she prayed earnestly to the Lord and poured out all her distresses to the Lord, all her burden and worries disappeared. She was in divine peace with her heart and soul overflowing with joy even though the child was yet to be formed in her womb. Her persistent prayers and her patience to the Lord resulted in the birth of Samuel. This is a true testimony of how powerful prayer is.
Communication is very important to any relationship, and prayer is also crucial in our relationship with God. All of us are God’s children, and we need to be consistent and persistent like children in our prayers. God always answers them even though his response may be cryptic at times. He is a loving and merciful God and will listen to your every prayer and answer them in a way that is best for you. Keep on praying and believing in the Almighty God, and you will see the power of prayer manifesting in your life.[/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
