Praying

Praying is a way for the Christians to communicate with God and talk to God.  Christians pray for variety of reasons. Praying is also a form of serving God and obeying Him. God also commands Christian to pray as stated in the one of the Bible verse. They pray when faced with obstacles they cannot overcome or have to make very important decision in life. Additionally,  they can also request favour from God by praying, but God does not guarantee the answered prayer to be in their favour. Lack of prayer demonstrates the lack of faith and lack of trust in God’s word.

How can Praying help Christian?

Praying also help Christians to grow spiritually and closer to the God. I shall quote one verse from the Bible that talks about praying. “Ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened” (This is from chapter 7, verse 7, in the book of Matthew from the Bible). God will give anything you want but God wants the best for them. However, God will not always give them what they want because it might not be the best for them. He also will not give them something bad. Christian can also turn to God and ask for forgiveness if they have sinned.  Christians can also pray for their friend and make specific request from God in order to help them. God will not answered to anyone that make prayer for own pleasure.

I hope you have learnt something about praying in Christianity in this post!
