POWER OF PRAYER
“God speaks in the silence of the heart. Listening is the beginning of prayer.”
- Mother Teresa
I surely agree with the perception that prayer isn’t meant to be a way, a last choice when nothing else has worked. It’s supposed to be your guiding star, listening in silence and the most vital discussion of your day with supreme power. Prayer is your conversation with God and how you’ll create an individual, significant relationship with the power of the universe who cherishes you. It’s all about how a lord can do miracles in your heart. Through prayer, he can bring your life into alignment with his vision, focus, directions and plans.
In my opinion, understanding a method of prayer is very significant in any religion before praying. It indicates gratitude for whatever you have in your life without comparing with anyone else. Secondly, repent indicates a thoughtful insight into your sins even if it intentionally or unintentionally happens and repent for it. Asking means anything you want in your life or afterwards for you or anyone else. It could be either big or small . Remember , God is happy when you ask for anything from him. Finally, yield indicates giving control of your life to only a lord and surrendering your plans to god’s will…
Let’s imagine being at a dinner buffet where there are many tables filled with different foods. The foods are the best in condition. They are mouth-watering and absolutely delicious. Guests help themselves to the different kinds of food they want. The host walks around among his friends to see if everybody has sufficient to eat, whereas the servers keep loading the table with fresh food. You’ll take as many trips as you like to the tables as long as you have sufficient to eat. The host doesn’t care as long as you are full.
In a similar way, God has provided everything for us if we pray. We will have all we need. Most of us have not realized the power there’s in prayer. We are not inquiring. All we need to do is reach out by faith and ask Him to touch our lives, our cities, and our nations. When we tap into his resources through faith and praying, then miracles happen. When we exercise our authority in prayer, God answers in a powerful way. There’s a strength and power in prayer that any particular space has not yet known or realized. It’s true to give you strength to avoid temptation, help with direction in your life, help to align your will with a god’s will, keep your mind and thoughts clear, help us to stay hopeful in dark times, and work as a service to self and others too…
On the last note, the power of prayer belongs to conversation, method and intensity of prayer and it can be rewarded as a miracle. A miracle itself is not magic. Miracle excels at magic.
Oh lord! Thanks for all I have. Repent my sins. Teach us how to commune with you in prayer and show us what we can do more fruitful in prayer today than yesterday. Thank you, Lord! Amen!
