First of all, the concept of prayer is not only special and peculiar to the Christian faith, but it seems that all of the religions of the world in one way or the other esteem prayer as very important. Deep within the spirit of every human being is the desire to communicate with the spirit world. Man has always believed that there is some unseen power within the universe, whether it be God or what is brought forth in one‘s beliefs. I would also like to point out that the prayer methodologies of these various faiths go to some extremes.

Many of us get caught in by the opinions of many preachers and theologians who seem to confuse us, with their various principles on the different types of prayer. I do not believe that the subject of prayer is meant to be taken lightly among God's people and should be an open line of communication that is effective and powerful to God, who is our heavenly Father and through the name of His Son Jesus. Many Christians today are confused with the many elements of prayer, how long shall I pray? Does God really hear me? Do I pray too often or not ofter enough? These are all questions we ask ourselves. In the next few weeks, I will be posting on this blog as well as on my website the meaning and power behind prayer. There are many ways to pray and we will go over them all as God would like us to continue on our spiritual venture of prayer for these hard times that we are in.
