  1. PRAYER Prayer is so simple: It is like opening a door And slipping into the very presence of God. There in the stillness To listen to His voice, Perhaps to petition, Or only to listen, It matters not. Just to be there, In his presence Is Prayer. Take time to pray, It is the greatest power on earth

  2. How to Pray? • Pray where you are. God is present everywhere and ready to listen. • Pray when possible in a quiet spot where you can be alone. It is well to fix your mind deliberately on god, apart from confusing distractions. • Pray to God simply and naturally, as a friend. Tell him what is on you mind. Get help from the payers of others. • Pray remembering the good things God had done for you. Reckon up your blessings from time to time and give thanks for them. • Pray for God’s forgiveness for the unworthy things that you may have done. He is neat to a humble and contrite heart. • Pray for the things that you need, especially for those that will make your life finer and more Christ like. • Pray for others, remembering the situation they comfort and the help they need. • Pray for the world in its need, asking God to bring better things and offering your plan to help him. • Pray above everything else that God’s will may be done in you and in the world. His purposes are deeper and wiser than anything we can imagine. • Pray, and then start answering your prayer.

  3. Begin your day with prayer and make it so soulful that it may remain with you until evening. • Close the day with prayer so that you may have peaceful night form dreams and nightmares. • Do not worry about the form of prayer. Let it be any form; it should be such as can put you in communication with the Divine. • Only whatever be the form, let not the spirit wander while the words of prayer run out of your mouth. -Mahatma Gandhi

  4. WORD PICTURES • Whenever I’m in trouble, I pray. And since I’m always in trouble there is not a day when I don’t pray. -Issac B. Singer • The self-sufficient do not pray, the self satisfied will not pray, the self righteous cannot pray. No man is greater than prayer itself. • If your life is empty, why not put Christ into it? Christ still speaks to those who take time to listen. • A rabbi ordered his section to gather ten men to sing psalms for the recovery of a sick man. When they entered, a friend of the rabbi complained that one of the men was a well known thief. “Excellent” said the rabbi. “When all the gates of mercy are closed, it requires an expert to open them”. • All things have a home, the bird has a nest, the fox has a hole, and the bees have a hive. A soul without a prayer is a soul without a home. • Little Jimmy was about to say his evening prayers when he asked, Mummy at what age can I stop praying as Daddy did? • Do you say your prayers in the morning or at night? Asked Ted. “At night, of course”, answered Rob, “anybody can take care of himself in the day time”. • When you are swept off your feet, get on you knees. You cannot stumble if you are on your knees. A lot of kneeling keeps you in good standing with God.
