Benefits of Prayer

If you’ve been a believer for some time, you may have realized the difficulty of building up a prayer life… and possibly even given up. And that’s really a loss because the benefits of prayer are so tremendous.

Since it’s so easy to get discouraged and give up on prayer, it’s worth considering some of the awesome benefits of prayer that make pursuing a prayer life worthwhile.

So in this post, we’ll consider eight benefits of prayer that I hope will encourage you to build up a persevering prayer life.

  1. It draws us closer to God, that is, it bonds our
    relationship to a deeper level. We get to know God more than what is indicated in the Bible.

  2. It aids in the healing process of the wound – hurt –inflicted in our hearts by someone.

  3. It aids in attaining peace of mind and heart.

  4. It aids in being able to make clear or wise decisions in our everyday life.

  5. It comforts us in situations we feel sad, discouraged, lonely, hurt and depressed.

  6. It strengthens our faith and therein our resolves to push on no matter what.

  7. It develops in us the spirit of patience.

  8. It renews our hope.

  9. It increases our confidence.

  10. We learn to crucify our flesh.

Good teaching @dennis22

Prayer directly involves a sincere disposition of our spirit and the Holy Spirit, in order to enjoy the presence of God and union with Christ. When we pray we must trust the promises given in the Holy Scripture, such as: "Cry out to me, and I will answer you ..." (Jeremiah 33: 3).

So neat and gorgeous =)

great 👍🙏
