PRAYER

Prayer is important

The bible was reminding us to pray without ceasing. 1 Thessalonians 5:17. How important prayer was? Let us remember that Prayer was the primary method of communication between God and man.

Through prayer we will be protected from all possible harms and danger. The Lord will sent His holy angels to watch over us. Psalms 91:11. 

In the book of Matthew 26:41 tells us to "watch and Pray" that we may not enter into temptation.

Aside from protection that we can ask from God, blessings also can be granted if we ask our creator and believe in Him.

The power of prayer

Prayer was a powerful weapon that can be used to defeat Satan from all his evil plans among us. It serve as protection to us spiritually and physically. 

In the old testament, there was a man who prayed three times a day. His name was Daniel. Despite of the treat that he was facing through praying to our God. Daniel still hold up his faith to the Lord and pray, because of his action he was being thrown into the Lions den where God shows His miracles of protecting  Daniel by sending His angels to watch Daniel through the night. Daniel was save and prayed.

Prayer opens the gates of heaven. It is our greatest armor against trails and sufferings, it can change and inspires life, it an be a source of medicine and mos of all it builds a strong relation with God.

How To Pray
