What is pray?

Before anything is important to say that anybody can do anything on kingdom of God just to do or for fun, all you need is to have a purpose to do something, a goal, a target to be achieved, does nothing in vain for God.

But, but why start talking about this? Pray is connected to purpose? YES, pray has EVERYTHING to do with purpose!

To understand this we must first know who is pray; would be just words?

Pray is attitude!

“And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites {are}: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.”

Mateus 6:5-6

Pray is you take a posture of humility and intimacy to recognize who needs advice, needs to be guided and recognizes that it cannot walk without the guidance of God, this must be your motivation to pray, be closer of Holy Spirit to listen him words.

There can be no true communion with God without prayer, and cannot be a pure prayer without an open heart and willing to obey the voice of Christ Jesus.

"I pray and nothing happens, now what? 'i'm Doing wrong? "

It is true that sometimes you pray and nothing seems to happen, as if God is not hearing our prayers, as if heaven were closed to us, but this is not the end of the world, and does not mean that God does not care about you and that He doesn't hearing you.

Persevere, have faith, do not be discouraged, God expects you to devote yourself to hear He, to pursue He as if your life depended on Him completely, remember that your faith is what will make a difference for God: “But without faith {it is} impossible to please {him}: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and {that} he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”  Hebreus 11:6

Beware the praying decorated!

you can pray saying: “God, bless me, i need a car…God bless me, i need a job…God bless me…God bless me God bless me…” and it ends up getting so mechanical that just not generating any relationship with God, no dialogue, no intimacy, and if you pay attention, no worship in this prayer, stop just to fulfill what the Bible says and you will see considerable changes in several (or all) aspects of your life.

The next time you pray for, try just say: “Jesus, what you have for me today? What are the paths I follow to see your grace in me?” But where it is written in the Bible? See Psalm 37.5

Avoid repeated and memorized prayers, avoid that mechanical prayer in which the sameness prevents you from having an intimate relationship with God and open your heart to Him, you can say about you need to God, but, never forget to thank and worship Him, there is no formula to pray,

May the Lord Jesus bless you and your entire family!

God's peace to you!
