How Important Is Prayer For The Christian And The Population In General ?
Let’s take some time out to talk about Prayer. Many pose the question which is “What exactly is prayer ?” So with that said – why don’t we take some time out to make a definition of prayer in this short article – in short [in general] it is safe to say that the act of prayer is that of communicating with the creator of the universe and of all things that are in existence.
There are many reasons why someone may decide to take part in the act of Praying, one such reason could be asking God for assistance in life. It could be made use of for thanking the creator for His blessings for life in general. Or it could be used for simply communications
largely in the same way that we might converse with one of our friends taking part in a discussion throughout the course of any given day.
So with all that has been said – How important is prayer ?
… well it is safe to say that it is a key component when it comes to operating any health and healing blueprint that we may choose to follow.
If the fact is that we do believe in God as being the Creator of all things, we believe that he indeed exists, and on top of all that we adopt a mindset that he has the desire to maintain a positive relationship with us as human beings, so “just how important is prayer ?” Well, if prayer is the act of simply communicating with God or some may say “chatting then many have the ongoing questions as to how important prayer is in day to life ?
So let’s say that we define prayer as an act of simply having a chat with God
….. and on top of that that he has a desire to develop and maintain a relationship with us as part of his creation, then perhaps we are able to make a comparison with prayer as that of speaking with or talking with one of our best friends or maybe our spouse. So …
"How important Is Daily Communication With Our Partners / Spouse Or Our Best Friend ?"
Do we in fact go on to grow closer to them if we do not engage in daily conversations ?
Well, when we take part in daily conversations as key component of any relationship, it in fact should have the effect of enabling us to bond and grow closer to that individual. So following on from that example – if we have conversations with God on a daily basis it follows on logically that we will grow closer to our creator on a daily basis ?
Looking at this example from a different perspective …..
if we do not take part in daily communications with God on a daily basis then are we able to expect to grow closer to him in any way ?
In as much as going to church and doing good works are important, praying and communicating with God on a daily basis is by far more important. In terms of going to Church alone, ask the question as to whether or not doing this without daily communications [which we define as prayer] will actually bring us closer to God our Creator.
The act of Prayer is a component of any effective blueprint for good health and effective healing as well as being an extremely important act in life in general. When we pray and communicate with God on a daily basis, when we converse regularly with God the creator and make time for Him in our lives we end up having a much easier road to travel in our lives.
On the other hand – when we do not spend precious time with God on a daily basis, especially in terms of actually communicating with Him we will in fact notice a profound difference in life in general and in that of our daily achievements.
When we take part in the act of praying, we will be communicating with the Creator of the known universe. The fact is that the creator does want to hear from us and to go on to answer our prayers.
So - what part of your life do you need assistance with ?
Health – Relationships – Career – Finances ??
… and can you define how God can directly help you to achieve your objective by communicating with him daily ? The thing to do is to make time for him on a daily basis no matter what we are feeling or the circumstances are.
So in conclusion, if you are facing challenges in your life the challenge that is posed is to get into the habit of praying starting today. Then you will in fact notice immediate differences not only in the way that you perceive things in life but also in the way that you respond to the world that you see around you. The fact is that Prayer does indeed change things and we encourage you to indeed continue with or; start with having daily conversations with God.
