- As Christians We Should Develop A Thankful Attitude
By: Sandi M Lewanika | - At times we spend a lot of time worrying about all the things that are going wrong in our lives and in the process we forget to take the time to thank God for all the great things that are going right in our lives. We have so many things to be thankful for and yet we choose to spend much of our time focusing on the negative.

As children of God it is important for us to ...

- Longing In Prayer And Love
By: cdmohatta | - "The person who tries to live alone will not succeed as a human being. His heart withers if it does not answer another heart. His mind shrinks away if he hears only the echoes of his own thoughts and finds no other inspiration." - Pearl S. Buck. This statement is very true. All of us want true love. From our childhood, when we begin life by clinging to mother's bosom, this longing remains till the end. The desire that becomes attainable sometimes because one's true love has fled him/her, poses t ...

By: FireSpeaks | - If you ask a small boy do men cry and he would tell you no, My daddy never cries because he is strong Strength is associated with fighting and killing protecting and defending but tears are associated with weakness. This is what society has taught us and our children, we comfort our sons when they fall down by saying big boys dont cry and we install in them the belief that crying should never be done. However I am hard pressed to believe that this is what God wants from the ...

- The Obligation Of Prayer
By: Billy Kite | - It is important to pray daily. Praying does more for the individual than can be imagined. However, there are times that one should avoid prolonged prayer, and at time praying at all. Jewish law dictates, that someone who is preoccupied with communal needs at the time of prayer, is not required to interrupt his activities to pray. Rather he should complete his mission, and pray on its completion.
The Mishna Berura points out, that this law holds true, even if the mission only invol ...

- On A Prayer
By: arcel | - The concept of prayer has always been an uncomfortable subject amongst most of the young people. While most of us grew up with a religious value system supporting us, we have also come into a world wherein we are expected to not flaunt what we believe in. We could even go as far as saying that the youth today has basically two approaches to religion they either embrace it and become virtually devoted to every aspect of it, or they hold disdain for it, as if the mere mention of having a religi ...

- Pray For All With All Types Of Prayer
By: William Bell | - God shows that we are to pray for all men. Why? It's because all men are made in God's image. Also, all men have the potential to rise above their humanity and live within their divine purpose.
At the time Paul wrote this chapter, Nero, one of the most wicked of rulers had already set fire to Rome and blamed it on Christians. Yet Paul commanded the church to pray for him and for all rulers in high places.
In order for man's world to be well ordered, God requires pr ...

- Hallowed Be Thy Name!
By: ann7 | - Hallowed Be Thy Name
The disciples asked Jesus to teach them how to pray. (Mat. 6: 9 -
13) Jesus' teaching became what is commonly known as The Lord's
Prayer. Most of us have memorized it since childhood.
Jesus teaches that you are to address God as your father. That
implies that in order to address God, you must know Him and have a
relationship with Him. Praying is a two-way relationship.
If you don't now your earthly fath ...

- Praying Hands, Praying Hearts
By: Babes Tan-Magkalas | - There is a common prayer gesture among Christians which is called praying hands or the hands clasped or folded together before the heart. Such a prayer gesture is a symbol of obedience, submission, sincerity and repentance. There are others who raise their prayer hands as if pleading to God.

- Prayer To God To Demolish My Ego
By: cdmohatta | - God, this is my prayer to you that I make because you command me. Many of us have the ego that we are something. Some of us deny existence of God. But they do not know how they were born. Many of us say that Darwin's theory of survival of the fittest gave birth to all of us. Right now I am writing this as if I am very knowledgeable. That is also my ego. For what do I know? Do I know more than others? Or am I more intelligent? Then if somebody were to ask me, when would I die, I have no answer. I ...

- Daily Prayer Journal
By: Theresa Twogood | - Being Christian e-book publishers as well as the fact that we just celebrated the 'National Day of Prayer', we tend to get a lot of e-mail asking questions regarding prayer and the receiving of God's 'good things'. Unfortunately many people think that there must be some 'special methods' or 'tools' or even special words needed to get God's blessings! I'm saying it again here, that it just isn't so. No special words, phrases, methods or tools are needed to receive Gods blessings.

- The Power Of Prayer
By: Jan Engels Smith | - What is Prayer and why do we pray? Prayer is focused energy. Developing a healthy prayer life is part of the dedication that is required for the journey on the spiritual path. Prayer can take many forms-formal, informal, casual, elegant, spoken, silent. All are acceptable, and all are heard. There is no right way to pray. However, some prayers can be extremely powerful. If it comes from the heart, and you understand the laws of energy, prayer can be truly miraculous.

- The Power Of The 7 Spirits In Prayer "€" Truth And Wisdom
By: Jon Straumfjord | - If we ever expect to receive good things from the Father, we must come into His presence from a position of Life and Holiness. Only the Living can come before the Lord and expect good things, and those who claim to be alive must demonstrate freedom from death by being Holy, not by our own righteousness, but rather the righteousness of Christ.
Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. (John 14:6, NKJV)

By: Jon Straumfjord | - How does knowledge about the Seven Spirits of God help us obtain the many blessings that the Lord has promised to all "who diligently seek Him?" (Hebrews11:6, NKJV)
The very first thing we need to remember is that we are commanded:
do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God ...

- The Personal Prayers Of Jesus
By: Arnold Ahlstrom | - The records of Jesus' prayers constitute a priceless document of one perfect being expressing himself to another.
Though Jesus must have been involved in prayer all the time, all we have in the Bible is six prayers of Jesus.
There are three kinds of prayers, and we know for sure that the mortal Jesus was involved personally in two of them. The three types of prayers were:
a. Personal prayers, offered by an individual in seclusion.

- Islamic Traditions Of Prayer
By: Andrew Schwartz | - When the prayer begins Muslims glorify God, they say Allahu Akbar, and these words mean God is great. While saying these words they raise their hands. A person that begins the prayer service and leads it is called Imam. This person doesn't begin regular prayers, songs and some chanting. Muslims repeat silently prayers after the Imam.
A service consists of a series of learned prayers. It should be noted that services in Mosques are rather active. Muslims pronoun ...

- Description Of The Prayer Service In Islam
By: Andrew Schwartz | - People come to the Mosque 20 minutes prior to the prayer service so as to wash their face, hands, mouth. First they wash the right side then the left side because the right side is considered to be the dominant. In cases when there is no water at the Mosque, people use sand and stones. When people have washed themselves they go to a large room. Muslims get prepared for the prayer and those who are non-Muslims take seats by the wall, because they are prohibited from praying. In the Mosque there i ...

- The Abundance Of Jabez
By: Rob Marshall | - Bruce Wilkinson, the author of the "Prayer of Jabez", published a follow-on book entitled, "Beyond Jabez" in 2005. One of the reasons that he wrote this sequel was to address some of the criticisms he had received because of the success of the "Prayer of Jabez".
For many people the "Prayer of Jabez", which probably outsold its sequel by millions, ended up being nothing more than a means to an end. What they wanted was something that they were absolutely certain would work, a pra ...

- What Good Is Prayer When It Comes To Your Health?
By: Dr Leo Kady | - Patients, say the experts, respond to prayer because it offers hope, a way to cope, a sense of peace, and an overall sense of well-being. Prayer also works as a form of meditation, counteracting stressful thoughts while lowering heart rate and breathing, slowing brain waves, and relaxing muscles.
For some, prayer is a way of actively changing oneself from within. In an interview Hasan Al Turabi, the head of the National Islamic Front in Sudan, sees prayer as a means of personal co ...

- The Tales Of The Tallit
By: Adam Barnett | - A tallit (also known as a prayer shawl, especially by Christians) is a rectangle or square cloth with tzitzit (fringes) on each of the four corners and an atarah along the collar. It is worn in obedience to the biblical commandment to wear tzitzit found in Numbers 15:37-41. The passage reads:
"The L-RD also spoke to Moses, saying, 'Speak to the sons of Israel, and tell them that they shall make for themselves tassels on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, ...

- Health And Prayer And Success
By: Dr Leo Kady | - Health and prayer ... does it lead to success? They do not necessarily go hand in hand, but it has been demonstrated that there is a correlation.
The Power of Positive Thinking, by Norman Vicent Peale, was written nearly fifty years ago and has sold over five million copies. It is still in print today. What I find remarkable about Peale's book is that it championed the healing powers of prayer decades before science confirmed Peale's observations. Modern-day cynics might disregar ...

By: Kael | - As the day is long, people will always have problems and desire help. Across all religions, people pray everyday and ask for the help that they think they deserve. But does praying to a faith really work? I'm here to tell you it does. And I have proof.
Back in the late 1990's, I was one of a group of leaders who led a group of kids from a suburban town in Connecticut into the depths of West Virginia. We are talking way into the coal mining hills where moonshine is still made and ...

Bruce Wilkinson's book, The Prayer of Jabez, became a huge success. It became so successful that many people felt that there must be something wrong with it. But this prayer from 1 Chronicles 4:10 is a great prayer for one simple reason: God answered it. And we need to take another look at this simple, but effective, little prayer.

If prayer is so powerful, then why does it seem like the more we pray, the worse things seem to get?
Perhaps what we see as a world of chaos is simply the Field, mirroring our belief that peace is missing our "please, let there be peace" echoes back to us as chaos! If so, then this understanding of how the mirror works can encourage us to change what we say to the Field.
Effective prayer is based on this understanding tha ...

By: Martha Fitzgerald | - The night air was muggy for March. I had stepped outside as a break from working on our income taxes. Two hours after supper I was still at it, running TurboTax to find any errors before preparing to e-file. As I walked into the side yard and looked up to the sky, a New Testament quotation popped into my head.

- Healed Using Hands, Anointing Oil And Prayer
By: Dr. Jay Snell | - Two faith healings have stuck in this writer's memory over the years. Both of these healings occurred while he was still pastor of a denomination church. The two Healing Delivery Vehicles used were "the laying on of hands" and the "anointing with oil accompanied with prayer."
These two healings occurred in a revival meeting we led in a denomination church in East Texas. He had felt impressed to have a time of healing ministry for a few nights, but held off on it because those dear ...

By: Katheryn Hoban | - A big part of prayer is the creative visualization aspect. You must visualize and hold the picture in your mind of the best solution for that person and situation or yourself. You must not waver in that thought. You also must recognize the divine and true nature of that person, which only recognizes the perfect balance and wellness. When you speak out loud you also activate a tremendous power of kinetic energy, and electro-magnetic power that immediately acts on the environment around you, ...

- Prayer ---part 1 Praise And Intercession
By: Katheryn Hoban | - We have been taught that prayer is begging God to do something for us, and that we have to keep repeating it over and over, because perhaps he is deaf, or he doesnt want to listen, or he doesnt want to do something for us. This is a myth that has been created by religion because they do not understand the inner true nature and also because they do not understand how prayer works.
In my studies I have read and been guided by many pastors and preachers including by the int ...

By: Katheryn Hoban | - There is still so much that we dont know about in this earth realm and for the most part we are only aware of the dimension that we are in now. We can only imagine what is going on in other dimensions, or in the heavens, or the angelic realms. I dont know why things can take a long time to come into existence even though we can spend a long time praying for it. Some of the reasons might be for many of us, we have been praying incorrectly all the past years, and didnt realize our tru ...
