Prayer is not just a religious activity but it is a spiritual lifestyle that involves communicating with God and receiving an answer. Although many people are familiar with the topic, yet many still do not understand how to go about it. It feels like a mystery to them.
Praying is not complicated and you don’t need to be an expert in order to start. You can begin from where you are till praying becomes as easy as breathing. Here are six simple points on prayer:
1: You don’t need to use big English words in order to pray. Prayer doesn’t have to be complicated. You can still tell God what your desires are in simple English, mother tongue or even in spiritual songs that relate to your need of prayer
2: Your ability to pray is dependent on how much of God’s word you know. Many people say they cannot pray for long because they do not know how to pray. If you want to improve your prayer life then you must improve your word life. Because prayer is based on God’s word. Whenever you go before God, you go to Him with His Word. Because God responds only to His Word. If what you are asking doesn’t align with His Word, surely you will not get the answers you are looking for. Secondly, the more you study God’s word, the more you able to pray accurately and fluently.
3: Whenever you pray, pray in faith. The Scriptures tell us that without faith it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6). Note that it didn’t say without prayer it is impossible to please God. Therefore, prayer void of faith doesn’t please God. You can’t come before God asking Him to do or to give you something, and not be confident that He is able to do it. Your prayer must always be founded on faith.
4: When you pray be definite about what you want. Many people just make general requests. For example, asking God you want a house is vague or too general. What kind of house do you want? Where do you want it located? What should it contain? So telling God you want a 6-bedroom house, situated at Kileleshwa is a much more specific prayer. When you are specific it is easier to know when God answers your prayer. So be specific when you pray.
5: When you pray, expect and receive your answer. Jesus said in Mark 11:24, “Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.” Jesus is saying when you pray, believe that you have received what you are asking for. It doesn’t take God years to give you an answer. Every time you appear before Him with a request, He answers. One thing to point out is this: God is a Spirit. Therefore, when you pray, His response will first happen in the spirit realm. So when you ask God for something, you have to believe you have the answer. When you hold on to what you have received, that is when over time it manifests in the natural. So believing you have received precedes the physical manifestation of your request.
6: Pray daily! The more you pray, the more you strengthen your prayer muscles. Muscles become weak over time when subjected to lack of use. Therefore, the more you pray, the more comfortable you become with it. Don’t only pray when you are in a crisis. Learn to pray to God at all times no matter the situation. Are we together on this?
