When we pray, what do we pray? How do we pray? Who do we pray for? The characteristics of our prayers reflects our true Christian character to man and God, the Father, Saviour in Jesus Christ.
Without first establishing an intimate relationship with the One True God, it's difficult to pray. Are our hearts and lives right before God when we approach Him in prayers? All these are very important criteria because we must remember that God is holy. Pray because you acknowledged that Jesus Christ who lives in you is in control of you. Praying cement our relationship with the One True Living Christ. Praying bring honors and glory to God. Praying protect us from evil. Praying unite us to God through Christ who died and forgave us at the cross. Praying enrich our wisdom. Praying is learning to shed our pride and humble ourselves before the Almighty Living God and Creator.
How long you pray is not so important, but the contents of your prayers may be important because what and who you pray for indicate your true character. Do you pray for those who persecute you? Do you pray for those you hate to love? Do you pray for those who are considered condemn? Are you praying for your neighbors? What about the nation God places you in? Are you praying for the ruling government of your country? When you pray, are your prayers filled with Christ’s love and compassion? When we pray for each other and those who persecute us, we demonstrate Christ love and compassion alive in us.
Who you pray for unmask who you are to God. Our prayer life reveals who we are to God. When you pray, pray with Christ’s love and compassion that fills your heart. Pray with and in faith. Pray because you believe that Jesus Christ is Lord. Pray and feel certain that your prayers are answered.
If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven. 2 Chronicles 7:14
Praying is worshipping God in Jesus Christ, acknowledging that He is the Sovereign God in our lives.
