I know everyone of us has prayers to our Almigthy God. Praying for the guidance of our daily lives, good health, graces received, and many more. Prayer is very powerful to believe.

So, now I have here eight advantages of prayer.

1. Prayer protect us

In my existence, it's already proven and tested that prayers really works. I always believe to my prayer that when I pray it will not harm me instead it will protect me in many ways.

First, my soul. We all know that everything in this world are owned by God even I or we as human God created us but due to the sins we've commit we cannot assure to our soul of where we belong when the judgement came. But then God always have a good heart. He always gives us hope just to protect our soul, our life and our living. Lifetime chances given by God.

As I lived in this world, I was in the point in my life that I haven't yet know how to pray or even ask is prayer protect me? Honestly, prayer is one of my protection in everything I do without it I couldn't sure to my self that I can be move in this world that full of struggles in life.

2.Prayer changes things

I do believe that prayer changes things! One thing that I do believe with that when I was kind of being negative. I am overthinker in different things even it shouldn't to worry more about because it's not a big deal my negative traits always hold me.

When the time that I observe about my living in this kind of traits seems like it push me to the level of negativity. That's the time that I prayed more and prayed everyday. I observed myself that I am consistent to my prayer and then my life change. It change everything the way I face uncertainties in life.

3. Prayers keeps you in the will of God

Indeed, prayer will keeps you in the will of God. You wouldn't worry anymore even you are hopeless because with yourself already accept the will of God.

Those days that I'm in the process of making my dream job, I was so depressed and hopeless. Seems like I'm in the state of giving up for chasing this dreams. But then God is powerful for making me feel that He is there, waiting for me to call him. I cried a lot for not letting his will be done. And now I already surrender my part to God and thy will be done.

4.Prayer draws you closer to God

Yesss! Prayer will lead us to know God deeply. It draws to be closer to him with his goodness.

I may not know how God is Good All the time when I still close my heart with him. I'm so thankful that I was able to open up myself and let God enter my world of living. I was the one who put myself to him. I let myself enter the kingdom of God by knowing him deeply because He is so powerful among all. Prayer is number one that lead me closer to God and be grateful for everything.

5.Prayer makes you happy

You will be learned how to be satisfied and happy in this world. Prayer will give you satisfaction as what you have in life.

We all know that insecurities is everywhere and it inevitable. But when we have this kind of habit by praying to God always, for sure it can make us happy for being contented in life.

Prayer will make me happy when I know that every prayer I have will be answered by God in the right time of his will.

6. Prayer gives you hope

Everything in this world has no assurance. It's hard to sustain our mind with positivity when we all know that hopeless is in our mind.

When prayer enter in our living it gives us hope. Hope in everything we do in life. It gives us strength to God to be hopeful in life.

Definitely true! Prayer is a medicine of every pain. It heals us from the pain we've encounter. Through prayers it will ease the pain. No matter how broken we are, how grief and sorrows we've experience through prayer will makes us heal for everything.

It's already proven and tested that prayer heals me. When I was experiencing the depression it really kills me. It's hard to handle everyday because it will make you demotivated to live. It broke me into pieces where I'm too hopeless for everything in life. When I prayed it all and focus to God suddenly vanish all the worries and pains inside.

8.Prayer makes you stronger spiritually

Day by day as I seek God it makes me strong even I am weak. God is my foundation as I lived in this world. I always have my prayer to be guided by him in my life.
