God Prayer Importance

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 What

does God command us to pray for? Are what we should be asking ourselves before we come to

God in prayer.

Prayer is a very important action in all of us as Christians. We should know why we pray

and why it is important. We should also know that prayer cannot

just come from our mouths but from

our hearts as well. Our affections cling to self and to worldly objectives; our prayer cannot rise

above their level no matter what words we use. In Luke 11:1 it says “ Lord, teach us to pray, as

John also taught his disciples.” we should be taught to pray either from the church or from the

people around us. Taught in a sense of listening, not actually taking lessons on it. We need to

pray because prayer is the most important part of the thankfulness that God requires from us.

God also gives his grace and holy spirit only to those who pray continually, asking for gifts in our

lives and thanking him when we get them and not holding a grudge when we don’t.

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
