The Power Of Prayer.

THE POWER OF PRAYER!

Hello!

Welcome back to yet another beautiful article. Today we will be discussing on a topic that we don’t get to talk about much. And that’s Because a lot of people don’t believe in it at all, while others are in doubt, others feel they have been wronged by the Almighty and some feel they are too busy to pray and most are just too lazy to pray. As usual, I’ll be sharing my thoughts and personal experiences and hope that the words I write out will help as many people as possible to believe more, have faith abd trust in the Almighty and in the power of prayer.

The power of prayer!

My dears, I really want to believe that we all know how important prayer is and how very significant it is to have an active prayer life. And how effective the power of prayer is.

Daily, we are faced with countless temptations and challenges. Some days we want to give up. Some days all we can do is sigh and carry on. Other days we break down and cry and lament and curse out. But most of the time what we don’t know we need is prayer! We don’t know this or maybe we do know this but we are probably too lazy to pray and as a result we end up living a lukewarm life. An ordinary life with no spirituality. It does not matter if you are a christian or a muslim, what matters is that you pray and believe and have faith that there is a high power capable of granting all our wishes.

One bitter truth is that we don’t pray enough. We don’t pray as often as we should. We find it hard to pray. We are too lazy to pray. Which is basically what I want to talk about today.

Why are you lazy to pray? Why? Why should you be lazy to pray?

Spending 10-20mins of your time praying to the Almighty should not be a chore, it should not be hard at all. Planning out 10mins of time daily to pray should be a part of our life. Praying should be a lifestyle. Praying should be our lifestyle! Appreciating the Almighty for his blessings and his grace in our lives should be a must! Asking the Almighty for forgiveness daily should be a must because we sin daily. Asking and begging him for his grace and blessing should be a must because you can’t do it on your own. It isn’t by your power neither is it by your might that you have managed to make it this far, it is only by his mercy and his grace alone!

There are People out in the world who feel they are too angry at God to pray. They prayed for something, and when things don’t turn like they had expected, the believe God didn’t grant them, so they are angry and they don’t want to pray any more.

Dear reader, you need to know, understand and accept that if it isn’t meant to be, it won’t be. If you pray for something over and over again, and at the end of the day it didn’t turn out like you hope it would, then that thing was not meant to be. It will hurt, yes. But only for a little while. One thing you need to look forward to is what is to come. Because what is to come is greater than what we could ever hope for or expect.

There are People who don’t believe in the power of prayer. I am sad for these people. How can you not believe that the Almighty has the power to bless you beyond your imagination? How can you not believe that He is able to do all things! How can you not believe that He is God! How can you not believe in the power of prayer? The fact that you were conceived, and brought into the world safely is by His grace and power. The fact that you went through life from when your a childhood up until this point is by His Power! So how can you not believe in His power still? He brought you out of danger, He delivered you from situations that could have ended badly for you. He saved you time and time again. He provided for you, has been providing for you! You wake up daily sound and happy by His power only! He loves you despite the many times you hurt Him by not acknowledging Him and His existence! Above all else, HE MADE YOU IN HIS OWN IMAGE!

A lot of people under estimate the power of prayer. Why? When you find yourself in a dangerous situation and you scream ‘Jesus!’ Or ‘Blood of Jesus’ and then you are saved, what do you think that was? What did you think happened? Magic? When you screamed ‘Jesus’ that’s a silent prayer for help and He came to your rescue. Now if you can only utter His name and he comes to your help so fast, how much more when you actually go down on your knees and pray. Pray to Him, ask Him for His mercy and grace and blessings and Love and watch out for how better your life will be.

So many years ago, I was angry at God. (Yes! I used to be one of those people who were angry and mad at God for not granting a particular wish). I was hurt, angry and sad, depressed and suicidal. I didn’t pray, I didn’t even have the urge to pray. I didn’t see nor feel the need to pray. I would say to myself ‘He never pays attention’ ‘He never answers’ ‘He never listens’. And so I wake up every day, go to bed every night without praying. One glorious morning, I woke up with the urge yo pray. See, I’m catholic and to every catholic the Holy Rosary is the best form of prayer as it is also our weapon against the devil. And so that morning, I picked up my Rosary which I had not held in a very long time. Now, listen, I was expecting it to feel weird in my palms but No, the Rosary was as comfortable as ever like I had been praying it every day, like it was at home in my palms. I prayed that morning, prayed at night before going to bed. Woke the next morning and the first thing I did was to pray. And it went on and on. And let me tell you this, I can’t go a day without praying. If I manage not yo pray in a day, I would feel naked and incomplete until I pick up my Rosary and pray. Prayer has become a big and an important part of me. And that’s Because I know the importance of prayer. I have seen the effect of the power of prayer. I’ve been in situations that even I didn’t think I could make it out of alive but His grace brought me out safe and sound! When things don’t work out the way I plan, I shake myself and tell myself ‘He knows what He is doing’. Because He does! If what I pray does not come to me then that thing was not mine to begin with. What is mine will come to me. Because I Know Him. I have seen Him in action. I believe and trust Him completely! He has never failed me. And He will NEVER fail me. So why won’t I believe in Him?

I want to encourage everyone reading this article right now, Prayer works. Never be too big or too lazy or too busy to pray for what you want. He is always ready and prepared to listen and accept your prayers. Make Praying a huge part of your day and life. 10mins is too small for Him but try to take out 10 mins out of the 24hrs in a day to pray to Him. Thank Him for what He has done, and then ask him for what you want Him to do. Build and create a great relationship with Him. He never fails. He never disappoints. He will never hurt you. And He will never leave you. Because He is not man that fails and disappoints!

And learn to trust Him and Trust in His process. Do not be in a hurry. Having Faith comes with being patient. When you pray and ask for something, Have faith and believe that He heard you alright and He is already working on granting you your wish. Don’t rush Him. Trust His timing because God’s time is the best! He is also the best part of us because HE MADE US IN HIS IMAGE! He sees us. He knows us best and He also knows what we need and what we want. He Knows how to attend to us in due time.

Please work on your praying life. Believe in the power of prayer. Trust the process. And believe that all things happen at the appropriate time.

That will be all for now dear readers. Thank you for spending A Moment With Jennie. I hope this particular article helps you build a personal relationship with God, trust in Him and trust in His process and His timing. Believe and have faith that He never fails and He will never fail you. Let’s meet up again for more intimate topics in the next article. Thanks for reading!
