Prayer is the most natural thing we do. But it's often frustrating and unfulfilling
- How Should I pray?
- Am I saying the right words?
- Can I pray for myself?
- What if I fell asleep?
- Why are some of my prayers not answered?
- When should I pray?
- What if I forget something?
Praying is as natural as drawing in a breath, but we overcomplicate it. Praying as Jesus taught us is more than merely repeating words.
Benefits of a fulfilling prayer life
- Prayer brings us closer to God. When we pray, there's an intimacy between us and God.
- Prayer shapes our perspective. When we develop a consistent prayer practice, we gain perspective on our lives, our needs, and the needs of others.
- Prayer brings inner peace. Sharing our greatest anxieties, worries, and fears allows us to unburden ourselves and to take in the love and peace God offers.
- Prayer inspires hope. When we pray, we are reminded of God's promises, and the many things we have already overcome.
- Prayer makes the whole body healthier. Because prayer has the ability to transform and renew our spirits, we will also reap the benefits in our bodies. Multiple studies cite the connection between spiritual practices of prayer and healthier lives.
