Prayer is the world’s greatest wireless connection because it connects you directly to your Maker, the Lord Almighty. As Christians, we pray to God with the help of the Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus.

In Philippians 4:6, the Bible tells us,

‘Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.’ (MSG)

This shows that prayer is not an exercise of your vocal cords, or you speaking to space. It is communication with the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth. It should be a conversation between you and God, not just you talking and then rushing out of His presence afterwards. You should wait and listen to what He has to say to you.

Prayer strengthens your faith in God, equipping you with the ability to scale hurdles and to do the things you could not do by your power. Invest time in praying and seeking God’s face on issues of life. Pray to know God’s will for your life, and ask Him for His guidance and strength to walk in it.

Prayer invites God into your life affairs, giving Him the freedom to do great things. Persist even if you don’t yet see the physical manifestation, because your prayers do make a difference.

If you are going through difficult times, lay them at the feet of Jesus. He is greater than whatever is causing you anxiety. Pray for yourself, pray for others; pray concerning your today and your future. Prayers do not have an expiration date. You never know when, where, or how God will answer.

Pray without ceasing and not only when things are falling apart. Don’t give in to anxiety, rather turn all your concerns and heart desires over to God believing He has heard you and is working things out for your good.

May the peace of God encompass and keep you in Jesus’ name. Amen!
