Do you really pray ?!

Do we really pray ? What is prayer ? Prayer , in its simple meaning , is a talk with God...... It is open the heart to God , so that the faithful talks to Him, lovingly and openly. In its deeper meaning , it is a relationship with God.... It is a relationship of love and emotion before being words. And a talk without love is meaningless. Prayer is a tie , relationship between Man and God. Therefore , it is not just talk , it is a heart connected to a heart. It is a feeling of being in presence of God .It is a partnership with the Holy Spirit and unity with God..... Prayer is the food of the angles and the spirituals by which they nourished and taste the Lord , " Oh , taste and see that the Lord is good " ( Ps.34: ) Prayer quenches a soul's thirst for God , " As the deer pants for the water brooks , so pants my soul to You , O God " ( Ps.42:1) " I will lift up my hands in Your name, My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness " ( Ps.63:5) Prayer is the submission of life to God to conduce it Himself , " Your will be done ". It is an admission of our lack of strength , and insufficiency. Therefore , we resort to a greater power , where we find our care........ prayer is not an obligation or an order. It is not just a commandment or piety and devotion...... It is a desire and longing ...... otherwise it would be a burden which we , unwillingly practise , just for obedience sake !!! Prayer is not just a request . One might pray without asking for anything....... but contimplate on the beauty of God and His life giving qualities....... Therefore , a prayer of praise and glorification... is more sublime than that of request.... Prayer is the ladder which connects Heaven and Earth. It is a bridge that we cross to reach the heavenly places where there is no world..... It is a key to Heaven..... It is a combination of feelings that are expressed in words........ Prayer is a taste of God's kingdom , which starts here and finishes there . if one becomes attached to it , prayer becomes a life to him , and his life becomes a prayer ....... Therefore God says in reproach, " In as much as these people draw near to Me with their mouths and honor Me with their lips , but have removed their hearts far from Me " ( Isa.29:13) For this reason , the prayer of the evil is unaccepted before God . It is hated by God because it is not the outcome of love , except if it is a contrite evil person who is asking for forgiveness like the tax-collector. God said about those who pray without being pure in heart , " When you spread out your hands , I will hide My eyes from you , even though you make many prayers, I will not hear. ........." ( Isa.1:15-16) Prayer would be without words or utterance...... The heart's beat is a prayer....... The eye's tear is a prayer......... The feeling of God's presence is a prayer...... In all these shades , do we really pray ?!!!! Remember me in your prayers dear brothers and sisters in Christ. Sanctify the Day of the Lord. Sicowin2 the sinner! |
