Prayer is an extremely powerful force in your life. It has benefits that are unending, far reaching and can be used by any religion or culture. Prayer can be spoken aloud, sung, or be meditative, and can be done alone or with a group. Prayer is a means of communicating and establishing a relationship with your God. There is no right or wrong way to pray, and God does not critique you for the way you choose.

One of the greatest benefits of prayer is the healing that occurs both emotionally and physically. You only need to have faith and trust God to do his will in your life. Another benefit is the strengthening of relationships by giving you strength, patience and understanding to handle even the most difficult situation. Prayer also creates a wonderfully satisfying relationship with God. The more you pray, the stronger that relationship becomes. Also, the more you pray, the easier it becomes. You can allow God to make difficult decisions for you by telling Him your problems and allowing Him to let happen whatever is going to be best for you. You may also ask God’s forgiveness for anything in your life that you know He would not be pleased with. Thanking God for your food and shelter is an excellent, simple way to start praying, and you will quickly realize how easy and comforting it will be.

God answers all prayers, even though you may not always recognize the results immediately. Also, the answer God gives you may not always be what you wanted or were expecting, but is what God knows is best for you. After praying for only a short period of time, you will begin to see the miracles that God performs on a daily basis.
