Prayer is a universal word that every human being hearts and practices. But how consistent are you?
Everyone prays to God either when they need something or require for a specific task to be carried out but how praying consistently every day helps you to build up the faith, hope, positivity, and confidence in that difficult most situation and rather struggling to seek God when you need him the most.
Here is my story or I would say a realization story on how consistent praying can transform your thoughts, your day, your opinion, your attitude towards people, and your life for the betterment
During my school days, I used to pray only during my exam times and at times when I tried to shield myself from being caught by my wrong doings. But I wasn’t consistent maybe I was immature to understand that prayer can do a lot more than keeping me from such out-of-control situations.
Then comes my early twenties, the time I was out from my college and started facing the real world and then realized that it is not an easy place as I understood it to be. Here, prayer played a large role in planning my destiny. Why because I was praying before and after he sorted my destiny.
Like for example my first job, which I received it by luck because I thought I had other plans for my career or I would like to say God had other plans for my life. And how did this all happen? It happened through a short term praying or a seasonal praying technique that I had practiced until I sorted my destiny. But even so, I wasn’t consistent enough like how God wanted me to be.
And now coming to my present, where I’m in a phase from transforming myself from a young teenager to an adult where I started to realize the value of each individual and their existence in my life. And where I started to learn and understand my existence and responsibilities to the world and to the people of this world. Every day of my life had its own worries and happiness, and I had only one way to overcome it that was to get in touch with God back again.
And a verse from the Bible inspired me to pray always to overcome my fears and worries. Philippians 4:6 “Don’t worry about anything, instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank him for all he has done. ”
Consistent praying helped me change my life and, in fact, helped me to realize many of the blessings that God wanted me to enjoy. It helped me to have faith and trust in God in the difficult most situations; It helped calm my inner storm of negativity that doubted the very existence and power of God. It helped me be kind towards people and understand their emotions and perspective before coming into my own conclusions. It pushed me to realize that I can do much more than I thought I can. Overall; It made me realize that God is a magician or an invisible man is by your side who guides every thought, actions, and words without even you realizing it. And by the time you realize it, you will understand how great our Lord is and you’ll be thankful for being his child.
Hence I spend half an hour of my mornings every day to read a bible plan and speak to God about my plans for the day and worries that is running in my head and that’s it, I then start my day with trust and hope that he has listened to my prayers and is working on it.
So here is my realization story on how daily prayer can change one’s life. I hope you like it.
