Never underestimate the power of prayer, am not saying you shouldn't work but please always pray. You can pray over everything remember there is a God in Heaven who answers prayers. Don't ever give up on Prayer, prayer does wonders, miracles . Before travelling pray, before eating pray, Pray over anything and Everything. There's is a God in Heaven who listens to the prayer of people as long as you pray with a genuine heart God answers. The world has gone mad but as a Christian please pray... The way people are been killed is high so please let's pray and also be careful


My candid advice.

Not only pray, also watch while praying & must importantly, after God answering your prayers give Him thanksgiving of praise.
Without Thanksgiving, you are not qualify for His next act of wonders in your life.

As the saying go " Saying thank you to someone that has done you well energizes the person to do more"
Saying a simple "thank you" is a sign of deep appreciation.
If we humans can do more by just saying "thank you" how much our heavenly Father that has all the capacity to do & undo.
Brother, it's just a logical thing, I don't want to start quoting Bible to surport my claim.

Buhari government policies are killing your works and prayers

Where is the saying found among the teachings of Jesus Christ... are we called to follow the sayings of men or the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ?

Even the Lord's prayer Jesus Christ taught us, the prayer started with giving thanks & praising God's name.
Miracles that Jesus did, He gave thanks first.

He gave thanks in The Lord's prayer which is how to pray but your suggestion seems to come as what we ought to do outside of prayer.

That very idea is used to justify a lot of what I consider vain worship that goes on today in many a Christian lives so I am trying to understand 2where the idea is being pulled from. Where does Jesus Christ state that our ask is impacted by our praise and Thanksgiving? .

Giving thanks & praising God is also prayer to God. In fact our prayers need to start & end in giving thanks & praise to God.

But where is this rule that our prayers need to start and end in giving thanks and praise to God?

As far as I know, The Lord's prayer could be said to start with Thanksgiving and praise but that is only Prayer that Jesus Christ endorsed in His Law to us.

I agree with you, op.

I must honestly say you're patient for answering him. If na me, I go free am let him wallow in his ignorance. Who doesn't know that giving thanks is part of prayer?.
