Prayer
Antwone: Posted on Wednesday, February 23, 2011 3:51 PM
WHAT IS PRAYING? It is essentially the time we spend being conscious of being in the presence of God, and of desiring to know and love Him more each time. Talking to God without holding back express thoughts and concerns we wouldn't express to a friend. If we can see praying as not only something we set aside a particular time for each day but as something we can do as we work, run, eat, converse, wait for appointments and yes, even sleep then God will be our constant companion. We then shall be able to turn to Him so easily when we most need Him in those most difficult and discerning moments. As is custom or becoming custom for many people they only tend to pray when things are going down hill, as for some others they will pray almost everytime and in every situation. ( I believe that for Christians Prayer should be like petrol for car. Without it we cannot make any progress in our Christianjourney). I truly believe the best Prayer ever isThe Lord's Prayerwhich i am quite certain everyone is familiar with. Please recite as you close your eyes and feel the true present of God as you recite The Lord's Prayer." Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name.
Your Kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins,
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom,
the power and the glory are yours.
Now and for ever. |
