How Often Do You Pray?? by Nobody: 10:03am On Nov 03, 2012 |
I know its not so good but i find myself so guilty of not praying to God as frequent as a christian should. I've made a resolution to start praying and communicating more with God now..but most times its only in d morning i do pray..even at dat they are sometimes so short..i find praying for long suddenly tedious.(God help me)...and also when i need something also.(i know dats not good) Sometimes, i find myself not even praying at all for a week at a stretch..maybe except for the 'thank you Lord' i mutter silently occasionally.. But serious prayer?? ..i don't do dat too often,we're so distant. i'm trying to cultivate a praying habit..want to feel God closer to me..but its still same situation..i dunno why?? What can one do then?? And how often do you pray to ur God also?? |

As often as I need to. Besides if you can count the number of times you pray,IMHO you have not prayed enough(I mean communion with God) |

If you feed your physical body 3 or more times a day, then feeding your spirit man (praying) shouldn't a big deal. |

Re: How Often Do You Pray?? by Sirniyeh(m): 10:09am On Nov 04, 2012 |
Hun-un-un-un, na wa for this religious folks! We substitute meditation/reasoning for prayer. Oops! God does not need your prayer because you dont pray for God. Communication with God is done via deep meditation and not prayer. Praying is an erroneous motive that demoralises God. Meditation means mental processing of an issue. Today civilization is as a result of meditation and not prayer. Your making is via meditation and not prayer. It is either you meditate or incantation. It takes incantation to invoke the spirit. Mere utterances is vanity. Since 2008 I never open my mouth to pray or all in Jesus Name but walk about meditating on the way forward, in the course of that I recieve inspiration. I follow my mind 3 Likes |

Countless. Because the enemies in my father and mother's house don't rest. Unfriendly friends too don't rest. So, I keep on praying |

By the grace of God, God has taught me to pray minimum 3times a day. You can also set alarm for a time of prayer, before you know it you will get used to praying always. Regards |

So, I keep on prayingDon't you feel it would be much better to show them love rather than getting all worked up on their behalf (praying and fasting) See Christ opinion about how you should treat your enemies. Matthew 5:43-48. "You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect. 1 Like |

Re: How Often Do You Pray?? by ghettodreamz(m): 11:19am On Nov 04, 2012 |
I don't think there is a limit to the number of times we could pray on daily basis. That said, many of us are guilty of the fact that we only pray once daily or some don't even pray at all for days at stretch. However, I pray at least twice daily, the first in the morning when I wake up and another at night when going to bed, with the former being the longest one for me between 20-30mins or more as the grace is given. If I've to observe a fasting/prayer programme mostly whenever I'm seeking the face of God for a breakthru or success on an endeavour, I try to pray as much as I could before breaking the fast. At times the spirit is always willing but the body weak. IMHO, I think we need to ask for God's grace to give us the heart that always pray and not only pray but pray a prevailing prayers as sometimes we as human do pray amiss. In addition, we need to cultivate the habit of spending time meditating on his word, that would help us in drawing closer to him, and he would also draw closer to us and that would help enhance and grow our spiritual life through daily fellowship with God meditating at his feet and also help build up our prayer life, not only when we're in dire need of something but always, as Apostle Paul had admonished us in the book of 1st Thessalonians 5:17 "Pray without ceasing". I pray the good Lord in his infinite mercies and goodness will help us and grant us the grace to live a more righteous and fulfilled life as expected of us in Jesus name, amen. 3 Likes |

Re: How Often Do You Pray?? by hugafella(m): 11:53am On Nov 04, 2012 |
I honestly have not been praying as I should. We do pray every morning in my office but I believe christianity is a personal relationship with God. May God give me the grace to pray all the time because we live in perilous times. The devil is really at work especially in Nigeria. There is a lot to pray about. May God help us all to make heaven, In Jesus name. |

CrazyMan: Bro, don't be deceived, even Bible tell us to be alert for our enemies, in accordance to 1st Peter 5:8 & Ephesians 6:12 1st Peter 5 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because[a] your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Ephesians 6:11-12 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age,[a] against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. The earlier the better you stand against those demonic and wicked ones of the under-world in your parent household or generation, the better they will pave ways for you to succeed in life and for you to live a fulfilled life of greatness that God almighty had destined you for. Don't gock yourself in the name of praying for your enemies because they're not smiling and don't want you to succeed at all. |
