WE ONLY NEED TO PRAY!

By Irving Serrano

" Have you ever struggled with prayer? Does prayer seem like an exercise in eloquent speech that you just don`t possess? Prayer is not a mysterious practice reserved for clergy and the religiously devout. Prayer is simply communicating with God. Listening and talking to Him. Believers can pray from the heart, freely, spontaneously, and in their own words. There is no correct, or certain posture for prayer. In the Bible, people prayed on their knees ( 1 kings 8:45) bowing(Exodus 4:31), on their faces before God. (2 Chronicles 20:18; Mathew 26:39), and standing (1st Kings 8:22). You may Pray with your eyes opened or closed, quietly or out loud....however you are the most comfortable and least distracted. (Mathew 6:7) " When you pray, don`t babble on and on as people do in other religions do. They think their prayers are answered only by repeating their words again, and again. Prayer develops our relationship with God. For an example; If we never speak to our spouse, or never listen to anything our spouse might have to say to us, our marriage relationship will quickly deteriorate. Prayer-communicating with God, helps us grow closer and more intimately connected with God. (Zechariah 13:9) " I will bring that group through the fire and make them pure, just as gold and silver are refined and purified by fire. They will call on my name, and I will answer them. I will say, ` These are my people; and they will say, "The Lord is our God". There are many who pray daily, maybe several times in the day. However they limit their prayers to the surroundings of their homes, and their loved ones. God is all mighty, capable and willing to grant you the desires of your heart. We live in a great nation, unfortunately not everyone share our love and devotion to God. If more people would pray for our nation, and those leaders of our nation...God will answer! May God bless you. Love always,
