The steps of prayer

The steps of prayer
Prayer is a feeling that you are in the divine presence.
· Before God, one forgets everything and nothing remains in his mind except God alone. Everything diminishes and God becomes everything. Nothing else matters beside him.
· Feeling of love towards God are a prayer.
· So prayer is a statement of love that we express in words.
Exercises in prayer:
1. Train yourself to extend the time you spend in the presence of God (psalm119: 97)
· Ask yourself then; how times do you spend with God? There is no doubt that you spend much time in conversation and entertainment that you benefit nothing from… it is a wasted time.
· Do not make this time at the end of your busy schedule but on the top of it.
2. Train yourself to get up early and start the day with prayer
- You will be alone with God, with no obstacle and God will be the first one you will talk to in your day and you will take a blessing for the whole day.
3. Give more care to the “hour prayer” from the agypia:
4. Train yourself to pray the short prayer, “ my lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me “, or “ make haste, o God, to deliver me; make haste to help me.”
5. Train yourself to pray for other
6. Train yourself to bring God into each topic and each problem.
7. Train yourself on personal prayers.
- The prayer in which you talk openly to God and reveal all that in your heart. There is nothing wrong in saying to him, “ lord, I love you but I feel that I love other matters in the world which hinder me from you when ever I try to remove them from my heart, I find myself weak before you. I know that, “ whoever wants to be a friend of the world makes himself on enemy of God “(jos4: 4)
- Therefore, grand me lord to love you with the perfect love and with your strength, save me from any love that is against your love.
