Topic:Â Understanding Prayer
Scripture: After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Matthew 6:9-13,
Thought For The Day: A person’s relationship with God is confirmed by the buoyancy, vibrancy and liveliness of their prayer life.
The subject of prayer has always been greeted with many misconceptions. Some people think that prayer is only done when there is a problem or a need. This is why such people can actually live for a week, month or year without talking to God in prayer until there is a challenge. This is a serious misconception about prayer.

Now, what is prayer?
Prayer is a platform for communion between God and man; it is the platform for the building, strengthening, and development of relationship between God and man. Relationship must precede request. To request for things from someone you have no relationship with makes one a beggar.
Every relationship must be serviced by communication. Communication breakdown equals relationship breakdown. A person’s relationship with God is confirmed by the buoyancy, vibrancy and liveliness of their prayer life.
Now, as a person communicates with God at the place of prayer, he has the opportunity to really know the God he is serving. Prayer brings you to a point where you are no longer a stranger to God, and thus, positions you for exploits.
Beloved, as you stand before God at the place of prayer consistently, may He open your eyes to see clearly the plans He has for you, in Jesus’ Name.
Remember This: A person’s relationship with God is confirmed by the buoyancy, vibrancy and liveliness of their prayer life.
