We reflect on the way we say prayer... do we say prayers hurrily? do we pray for the sake of praying? do we even pray?
some would say they pray... some would not... some would say prayers because they pray for the sake of praying... some would say they pray... but hurrily... for example... they rush through their prayers.... they say it so many times... till they can memorise the prayer... and they speed thorugh it and then they either go off... or sleep... that is not very good...
We should prepare ourselves to say prayer... breathe in the breath of god... god breathes in to us the breath of life... if god did not breathe the breath of life... we would be dead... we call upon the holy spirit... then we start by acknowledging god... fro example... almighty father/ father/ abba father... then we mention the authority... for example... creator of the universe/ god above all/ most high god... then we thank and praise and worship him... after which we add our needs... our intentions... and what ever we want to pray for... and we end off in the name of jesus... always end off in the name of jesus...
i would encourage you to take time... prayer is the ways of talking to god... god is our father... we are his children... we should talk to our father....
but if we do not have time for god and we are too busy for god... then we are too busy...
we should take time each day to talk to our father...
if we have temptations to stop praying... carry on praying... we must fight the temptation away... we must win... so that evil shall not over power us!
always let god lead... we should not lead...
"the will and determination to pray is a prayer by itself"...st augustine
we should abuse these words too...
god love you...
