Never Tire of Supplication
Hello Dear Steemians,
You are welcome yet again to my blog for today. Join me as I briefly expound on the efficacy of prayer in the life of a true believing servant of the Almighty...
Blessed are the prisoners who never tire of supplication, for they shall one day be freed. Blessed are the blind who are not listless in their prayers, for they shall one day see. Blessed are those lying in graves who supplicate to God for help and succour, for one day they shall be taken out of their graves. Blessed are you who never tire of supplication, your soul melts in prayer, your eyes shed tears, and a fire kindles in your breast which takes you to dark closets and wildernesses so that you may taste solitude and drives you to restlessness and near madness, for you shall finally receive Divine bounties.

The God to Whom I invite is very Gracious, Merciful, Modest, True and Faithful. He bestows His mercy on the humble ones. You too should be faithful and pray with all sincerity and faith so that He may bestow His mercy on you. Dissociate yourselves from the commotion of the world and do not give religious complexion to your egoistic disputes. Accept defeat for the sake of God so that you may become heirs to great victories. God will show miracles to those who supplicate and those who ask will be blessed with extraordinary grace. Prayer comes from God and to Him it returns. Through prayer God becomes as close to you as your very life.
The Holy Quran says:
...I respond to the invocations of the supplicant when he calls on Me. So let them obey Me and have faith in Me... (Chapter 2 vs 186)

God has established prayer as the means by which we receive his supernatural help. And without supernatural help, we cannot live a worthy life.
The first blessing of prayer is that it brings about a holy change in a person, as a consequence of which God also brings about a transformation in His attributes. His attributes are indeed immutable, but for such a transformed person He shows a different manifestation of which the world knows nothing. It would seem as if He had become another God, whereas, in fact, there is no other God. The truth is that it is a new manifestation of His which portrays Him in an altogether different light. It is then that God, in honour of this special manifestation, does for the transformed one what He does not do for others. These are what are known as miracles.

It is my humble believe that this short expositions will help in the crave for a more rewarding and fulfilling relationship with the Supreme Being.
Stay blessed as you remain steadfast in supplication..
Great insight on the power of prayer
