1. Prayer
We need to look at prayer with deeper thoughts. Prayer isn't just closing your eyes, folding your
hands and speaking. Prayer is a much more meaningful part of religion. We all need to pray, God
himself demands us to pray. Prayer is defined as an act of God, a god or another object of worship,
such as in devotion, confession, praise, or thanksgiving. When most people pray, they just say the
same prayer, like the Lord's prayer for example. Saying the same prayer isn't really such a bad thing,
its more about the meaning and the time that you spend praying. Prayer shouldn't just be looked at as
a routine or habit, but as more of a love poem to express ones self to God. Questions such as: why do
we need to pray? What is this prayer?, and...show more content...
The prayer that we pray should be the one that comes straight from our hearts. Prayer shouldn't be
a job or a planned out speech. The prayer that God tells us we should pray is the Lords prayer.
"Our Father in heaven hallowed be your name your kingdom come your will be done as earth as
it is in heaven..." this prayer summarizes the main things that we should pray for, like telling God
he is awesome, asking to provide, to forgive sins, and to prevent you from sinning, and that you
will love God for ever and ever. God doesn't look at how good a prayer is, he doesn't judge by
quantity either. A short prayer can be just as, if not, more meaningful as a large one. God looks at
the thought and meaning of the prayer. A prayer that comes straight from the heart is what God
appreciates.
We need to pray for different things in life. God tells us what to pray for and what not to.
He tells us to pray for everything that we need, spiritually and physically. We can pray to God for
almost anything except for absurd wants. God tells us to pray to no one else but Him. When we
pray God wants us to acknowledge to him our needs and misery, hiding nothing, he wants us to
pray for everything on our minds coming from our hearts. We don't need to worry about our
prayers being heard because Christ our Lord promises that they will be heard in his word.
