Have you ever wondered why so many people pray?

Well Albert Einstein said there are only two ways to live;

  • As if nothing is a miracle or
    as if everything is a miracle
    .

Either life is a flick and we are just a bunch of bigger and highly evolved animals on a big rock lost in space or there is a creator behind creation, a God behind Goodness and if so, then connecting with him then in prayer is pretty much the most mind blowing thing one can do.

Archealogist keep digging stuffs up that shows we've always prayed. People of different faith pray daily, even aethist admit to praying sometimes. Real prayer is a two way conversation with a living God who loves and listens to the things we say. Jesus said in John 14:14 KJV
"Ask anything in my name and it would be done"

We have a chance to ask for peace, healing, help or whatever we need. Life matters, you matter, your choices, thoughts, prayers and actions echo on eternity.
But in case you've noticed God is pretty much invisible and not always easy to hear, they are distractions, disappointments and questions that we all share.

That's why prayers are not just mere words spoken to the open air with closed eyes, but have been changing lives for billions for over 2000 years now and today millions are discovering that God's real, life is a miracle and the most powerfull thing you can ever do is to pray.

How do you pray?

You learn how to pray by simply asking.

Prayer is basically correspondence with God.

When you're addressing God, you need not bother with any set arrangement. You could be driving home from work or to the supermarket, and be simply conversing with Him.
1st Thessalonians 5:17 admonishes us to:

"Pray without Ceasing."

So If you're experiencing an unpleasant time right now in yourlife, I would urge you to ask and to approach the Lord with all sincerity and clearness believing that he is God and indeed he cares. Tell him about your anxieties, worries, disappointments and complains, in whatever manner that you choose to,he listens and answers.

Personally, When I converse with the Lord, I sing, cry, and sometimes even contend with him. I figure He would rather prefer you to be furious when talking to him as opposed to not talk to Him at all. Think about your own kids—when they don't talk to you, that is the point at which you get concerned.
So address God about your monetary, business related, and every other matter that maybe bothering you, and you'll be shocked how God answers.

I have seen Him change the wind, bring the rain, and put out the fire.

IF PRAYER IS A COMMUNICATION, HOW DOES GOD TALK BACK TO ME?

Keep in mind, that prayer isn't just a request list that you simply just take to God; Rather He needs you to be His companion. Talk to him as you would to your best friend because he actually is more reliable than that your best friend. When you do this, He'll speak to you, though it may not be audibly, but rather in your heart and through nature, through godly neighbors or acquaintances.
As you start today, talk to him. Inform Him about your delights, desires, tensions, and fears, and you'll feel a ton better knowing with certainty that the Lord of the universe is paying special attention to you.

God is real. He is closer than you could ever think or Imagine, just call on him today with sincerity believing that he listens, cause he sure does and you would get answers to your supplications. He is genuine.He is our Father and He is open to all who seek Him.
