7 Advantages of a Prayerful Life

7 Advantages of a Prayerful Life

The purpose of prayer is not to be a last-ditch effort when all else has failed. It's supposed to be your compass and the most significant talk you have all day.

Prayer is your dialogue with God and the way you might establish a close, intimate bond with the all-loving God of the universe. He can work marvels in your heart this way. He can synchronize your life with his objectives and vision through prayer.

You have the incredible pleasure of talking to God through prayer, and he will wonderfully bless you as a result. Let's examine seven justifications for why prayer is essential to your life.

1) God can change your heart when you open your heart to Him every day.  

It is not a transaction to pray. It is a connection to God.

God's priority is hearts.  He aspires to earn your affection and bring it even closer to himself.

He might accomplish it by meeting your material wants or by working in your heart to turn your attention toward him. When you regularly and frequently pray, you give God the opportunity to work in your heart. He will change your life and give you new joy in him through prayer.

Your heart is healed and renewed via prayer, which is where transformation takes place.

2) Your day's mood can be affected (or changed) by prayer 

What determines how your day will go? the annoyance of a protracted commute to work? The laundry that never ends and the mountain of dishes in the sink? Bills and unfavorable news in the mailbox?

When the inevitable snag occurs, you are sent spiraling into dissatisfaction, worry, or worse after waking up full of optimism for a new day.

By praying first thing in the morning, you can set your mind up for a happier day.

Start your day by giving thanks to God for everything he is and all that he is doing in your life. · 

Spend your morning feeling grateful for all the blessings in your life. 

· Ask God's assistance in the challenging aspects of your day as you invite him into it.

Ask God to help you reset and bring peace back to your heart by using your daily disappointments as prayer topics. 

Ask him to assist you in discovering the delight despite the hardship and the uninspiring.

Daily difficulties can be treated with prayer.

3) Daily prayer ensures that God is always in the forefront of your thoughts, even on the weekends.

Monday through Saturday, what part does God truly play in your life? Or is he only available on Sundays?

God wants to be present in your life 24/7, not just on Sunday. He doesn't just want the one hour you spend in church; he wants all 168 of them.

What happens if you incorporate prayer into your daily life rather than only on Sundays?

As you pray more, you'll see God working all around you throughout the week. · 

When you rely on God in difficult situations, you'll experience his serenity and consolation. 

You'll develop your ability to discern God's response as you seek his direction when presented with choices.

Your faith can be fully realized via daily prayer, which enables you to live all seven days of the week in God's peace, grace, and joy.

4) Prayer aids in decision-making

How frequently do you regret your bad judgments after having taken them?

What impact would it have on your day if you...

Made the decision to respond rationally and calmly rather than angrily?

Instead of rushing off to your next appointment, have you chosen to give a buddy your whole attention?

Instead of reverting to old habits, have you decided to make a healthier decision?

How are you addressing your life's decisions, which might be both major and small?

You'll make better decisions if you pray about each one.

Ask God for support and direction. Think about each choice in the context of what Jesus said.

God will guide you to make better decisions if you involve him in both big and minor issues.

5) Regular communication strengthens bonds in relationships. 

How frequently do you chat with your closest friend? To your partner? To your kids, please? I assume more often than once every week.

Frequent communication is necessary for building a strong relationship. Our relationship will improve as we converse more and have more meaningful exchanges.

With God, the same is true. You must communicate with God more frequently than once a week if you want a richer, more fulfilling connection. He needs frequent, in-depth interactions with you.

Don't limit yourself to saying group prayers (although these are great places to start). 

Give him a warm welcome by opening your heart. 

Share your difficulties and obstacles. Join him in acknowledging the benefits and successes. 

Ask him for advice and assistance. Beg for pardon for your shortcomings.

Your relationship with God will grow stronger and more intimate as you pray and open out to him more.

6) Prayers prayed are prayers answered

How do you expect God to answer your prayers if you aren't pleading with him in prayer and asking for his blessings and assistance?

He wants you to first talk to him in prayer before he blesses you with wonderful things in his time and his way. He wants your heart, which you can only fully give to him by engaging in daily prayer.

Give God a high priority in your life by being receptive to him and following his guidance.

Make earnest, daily prayers if you want your petitions to be heard.

7) Daily prayer is a practice that involves giving your heart to God.

Giving your life to Jesus is a continuous practice of submission, not a one-time event. It involves giving up everyday control so that you can live under God's direction and rule.

One aspect of that practice is daily prayer. Not as a condition or requirement, but as an expression of love for the One who values your friendship and want to guide your life.

By giving God a high priority in your day and valuable time from your schedule through daily prayer, you may demonstrate your devotion to and commitment to him.

Prayer is giving your heart over to God's authority as an act of love to the One who loves you the most.
