My reflection about praying
This topic may bore you as this is a common one and not about earning and cryptos but I would like to share it anyway. I appreciate if you read it till the end.
Praying is said to be one of the means to communicate with God. Through this way, we can express our intents and appeals to our creator may it be financial, physical or spiritual.
Praying doesn't require a specific location and situation. We don't just pray during misfortunes or when we desired something. We should pray and be thankful for having simple stuff others can't even possess. Though you have simple life or status of living, it is not a hindrance for us to pray. God doesn't look at our reputation but he looks through our heart. Even notorious criminals, thieves, adulterers, when they pray from the deepest part of their heart He would heed to their prayers. In short, there are no requirements needed for you to reach God's ears and heart. He listens to all our prayers because He is compassionate Father. However, though he listens, it doesn't mean that he will answer all of them.
Let's take a project proposal for an irrigation system to a farm an example. When you submit a project proposal, it takes time for it to take effect or being approved. There are so many things needed to consider first before the approval of the said proposal. Validations are done. Time, location, and situations are being contemplated.
*If the proposed project be granted, does it benefit a lot or will the grant only benefit a few individuals? If not, there will be other recommendations or an alteration in the plan like the location.
*A location where many will benefit from the project.
*How about the time? If the irrigation will be ratified, but the present season is rainy days, the starting of work will be postponed and will be set during the dry season.
On the contrary, if the proposal seems insignificant, it will be denied.
So, looking at the example given, it is also the same as a prayer. If you ask for something, do not expect it to be granted instantly. God is looking to it in different angles. So we shouldn't fret when our prayers will not be awarded at a short time. Or fall into unanswered prayer because that is the time when God is realigning it and gives you a better answer than the one you are asking.
As for me, I already made it a habit. My day will not be perfect if I don't pray. When I travel, I don't feel safe if I don't pray. When going to sleep, I feel something lacking if I don't pray. Same in the morning, everything seems not going well if I don't pray.
One practice we should maintain is praying with your love ones, in here you create bonding within the family members and drawing yourselves to God. Continue doing this practice helps teach the children also to be humble and learn how to be grateful and appreciative in any things even simple ones that they receive. Praying at home during mealtime and evening before retiring to bed is a good start to train children how to pray. This everyday practises they will carry then everywhere they go and even being separated from the family members.
Praying is the best weapon to beat stress, anxieties and attempts to end one's life. It gives you the chance to be yourself without exhibitions. Doesn't need a suitable setting or area to pray and doesn't require a specific time. You can pray anytime, anywhere.
I hope everyone makes it a habit of praying. Thank you for reading until the end.😊😇

Praying for me is talking to God. I understand that he will not answer me immediately but I do notice that I have a lot of blessings around me, just enough for me to go on. If I want to put it in a list, I will be tired because I do have a lot of blessings despite the difficulties I am currently facing. Some of it, I wrote for the community SST: Christians
