The Soul’s Darkness
Tuesday, May 8th, 2012Prayer is the way we communicate with God and how he communicates with us, that is why prayer is a very important and vital belief of many people. Praying is simple, you just have to address God, thank Him, ask Him, and close it in the Name of Jesus Christ. We first start our prayer by saying Father in Heaven or Heavenly Father or any way as long as we are addressing to God because it is to Him we are praying. We tell our Father how we appreciate all the blessings He has given us, such as our family and friends, the food we eat, etc., we do this after opening the prayer and addressing Him. We can ask Him for help after thanking our Father in Heaven, we can ask him to bless us with the things we need, such as knowledge, comfort, guidance, peace, health, etc.. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen, is the way we close a prayer because Jesus is our Saviour, our mediator between death and eternal. When praying with a group of people only the person saying the prayer speaks and the leader should say the prayer in the plural such as, we thank thee, and we ask thee. Saying amen at the end of the prayer shows our agreement or acceptance of what they have prayed for. If the prayer is repeating, always be sincere because if you pray it without sincerity, then it is just going to be a mere chant with no meaning. Praying with real intent means that we are willing to do the will of God. Aside from praying all by yourself and joining in group prayers, you can also ask for prayer request from other groups or from the members of your own group especially in times when someone in the family is sick. Prayer request are also available in different sites, it is the religious groups that put up these sties.
