What is Praying?

Praying is essentially the time when people spend being aware of the presence of God. It is also a way to know and love God more every time. Ideally, the purpose of prayer is to establish connection with God. If you can see praying as a priority and responsibility like you do when you’re working your daily activities, then you will be on your way to Christ Consciousness in no time. With this, becoming a Christ Conscious will not be difficult as others think.

Best Time to Pray

There is no best or perfect time when praying. You can pray anytime of the day. However, although you can pray any time, there are things that you need to keep in mind when becoming a Christ Conscious person. One of those things is awakening. You should praise God for providing care and for teaching and showing you His will and grace.

Thanking God is also essential when praying. Another thing that you need to keep in mind when praying is to confess your sins and failures. Asking for forgiveness from Him is the next thing you need to consider.

Importance of Prayers in Christ Consciousness

Prayers can be odd for some people. They think that they don’t need prayers just to be Christ Conscious as you already have knowledge about Christ and what He has taught everyone especially when it comes to faith and spreading love. Although it is given that almost everyone has already a depth understanding about Christ and His teachings, prayers can still make a huge difference as it can be the way to avoid any conflicts or issues that you may have encountered when becoming a Christ Conscious. You have to take note that being a Christ Conscious can take a long process. So, this just means that you need the most powerful tool to overcome all your difficulties and this is through prayers.

Prayers are considered as an exceptional reality that can transform or change one’s life. The inventor of prayers is God. It is not just something that was invested by any religious fanatics. It is not even a fantasy, a pipe dream or the weak’s crutch. Prayers are rock-solid reality in which God provided to people in order for them to communicate to Him. Every book in the Bible has a prayer.

The Bible commands everyone to pray. Every word of God is stuffed with the commands to pray. Unlike what other people thought, it forms a foundational element of the life of the believer. Without prayers, it may result to confusion, lack of peacefulness, anger or even a sin. If anyone is questioning the essence of prayers, then think about the significance why Jesus Christ placed upon prayers. In the gospels, it is repeatedly mentioned that Jesus goes to private place to pray. He also spent the entire night to pray and encourage His disciples to pray.

Prayer is a Necessity for Christ Consciousness

Prayers are vital because everyone needs it especially if you are aiming to become a Christ Conscious. They have the power and ability to change you. No matter what you ask for, your prayers can help you to get answers from God. When praying, you’re asking God for help.

Prayers also give you a means to praise God, thank God, and worship God. Beyond those, prayers can be the only means of talking to God. These are also the words to God.

Humanity Requires Prayers

Prayers are essential because humanity needs it. Prayers are not just for yourself. You must also pray for other people. Although others pray every day, they also need prayers from other people. The homeless ones need prayers for their shelter. Those people who are starving also need your prayers for food. The sick people also need prayers for them to heal. For peacefulness, the struggling ones need your prayers. Prayer can have the power to change the world. That is why it is important.
