When Should We Pray?, Part 2 ...

I hope you have thought about what I shared in the last article.

It is so easy to give a definition of what prayer is to a believer of Jesus Christ, “ SPEAKING WITH GOD”.

Why is it so difficult to pray at times?

Because we need to take things seriously with God; We cannot deceive Him; and something that is very important, let’s go to Galatians 6:7 “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows”. You and I can be hypocrites, be fakes when we speak with others, this is totally impossible to do with God.

Besides the time we use to pray, there are two moments that I recommend for you to do: When you know you have offended Him, your peace has become weak due to a sin that has been committed.

In the story about the prodigal son that decided to return home, see what he did: Luke 15:18 “I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you”.

The second reason, is when you feel gratitude, toward Him. That’s what Daniel did, when he and his friends lives were in danger. Daniel 2:23: “I thank and praise you, God of my ancestors. You have given me wisdom and power, you have made known to me what we asked of you, you have made known to us the dream of the king.”

Thank you for taking the time in reading this article, and I hope it has helped you in some way in your communion with God.
