Many people pray hypocritically. They never trust in what they are praying
about. Sometimes back I was taught that in prayer the answer is either; Yes, No
or Maybe. But the art of prayer cannot be bypassed. Like science, prayer should
be methodological. Prayer without faith is dead. If you have to pray, never be
quixotic. If so, don’t even mime or say a soliloquy that is meant to be a
prayer.
Muslims pray five times a day. When it comes to prayer, they never let anything
come their way. Christians have no given number of times they should pray. It
is up to one to decide on the amount of time he or she dedicates to prayer on any given
day. Prayer is like practice. If you practice consistently you become perfect
and have ease in the hurdle that you are trying to achieve. Likewise, prayer is
like practicing for a competition. You need to pray for what you want and have
faith that you will get it.
What you pray for should be between you and your God. Everyone has someone he
believes in. This however excludes atheists, heathens and all non believers who
have nothing to stand for. But I have never trusted in non-believers, they are
just but people who have never experienced the manifestation of prayer or the
miracles in prayer.
Your brain is the most important and powerful organ that reins over the way you
behave and conduct self. The Brain has the power of creativity and vision. It
can come up with some of the most unheard of or unseen things that influence the way
people relate and behave. But again our brain is what sometimes leads us to
sometimes straying. It is easy to be conservative but the power of prayer can
make someone move mountains and outdo temptation.
Our cognitive abilities sometimes require prayer. If you want to achieve a
feat, pray about it. Trust that the prayer will be answered. Even non-believers
usually pray during some very tense moments to overcome the trials that they
are going through. Scientists have also discovered that prayer is a powerful
tool that can aid in better performance and as such there are results in
prayer. But it is imperative to have faith and be consistent since the results
are not immediate for first timers.
Prayer is a form of social interaction with God. It removes one from the miasma
of human sphere and places one who prays in the ethereal world where there are
angels and spirits. Prayer works. Many can confess that it is through the power
of prayer that they are alive or they have achieved the great deeds in their
lives. The efficacy of prayer with regard to outcome does not usually have the
same positive results. The results may best be described as the exam one takes.
Some are usually prepared, others are semi prepared and others are never
preparing at all.
The science of prayer is defined by the unlimited power there is in closing the
eyes and believing. Prayer is not wishful thinking, trial and error petitioning
without repeatable results. Prayer is sowing a seed. A farmer usually sows the
seed and waits for it to germinate, sprout and mature into a harvest. When you
plant a seed you are hopeful, likewise when you pray you trust that the results
will be manifested sooner or later.
Prayer connects us to the divinity. Understanding the whole concept behind this
phenomenon where one’s brain connects with the spiritual world is quite
perplexing. Not even science can explain it. When people speak in tongues and
very few can explain or interpret the words, then it means that there is power
in prayer. Powerful and religious prayer usually comes about when one goes dark
into the parietal lobe where one is able to form the sense of self.
Neurologists have been studying why prayer is a science. According to a certain
neurology professor “The more you focus on something, the more that becomes
your reality, the more it becomes written into the neural connections of your
brain.” As such if you pray continuously for a longer period, you will achieve
the results even when it takes decades for the results.
Prayer is like going to the gym. You go to the gym with the intention of
sculpting your muscles to appear the way that appeases your eyes. Likewise, if
you can manage an hour or two daily in prayer to achieve a connection with the
supernatural, then ultimately you will have sculpted your body and mind into
accomplishment.
