I am a Christian and I am proud of it. I believe the best way to practise your religion is in love and humility to everyone and everything.
When the road gets tough, prayer helps lighten your mind and the weight of the stress.

I come from a part of the world where we know about good and bad forces exist.
Some people might disbelieve this and call it a barbaric belief or and archaic way of thinking but if you have seen what I have seen or been through what I have been through then you will know that it is more than a myth.

Logically speaking, if the forces of good exist, why won't there be the forces of evil?
When we take a look at the study of the supernatural, understanding the importance of symbolism, we further understand that there are two kinds of forces in this world; those of good and those of evil.

There has been numerous documented reports of exorcism carried out on some individuals who were otherwise previously confined to a psychiatric ward and they became healed or numerous miracles that were previously thought impossible and cannot be explained by science till date. One cannot but accept the fact that these forces exist.

There is a physical aspect to life, there is also a spiritual aspect to life. We cannot neglect both.
The reason why "work and pray" is popular is because faith without work is useless.
If we check the numerous testimonies available, we discover that they were achieved by a Divine encounter to an individual or individuals who were in a constant uplifted state...ie they prayed.

I know of a prayerful person who actually sees things before they happen and thereby to prevents them.
Some people believe that if you pray a couple of times, that is all it takes to get something. That is very wrong, sometimes you have to pray for longer than you planned, day in day out, until you get what you want.

Prayer is first of all activated as a request when ee make the initial baby steps of our demands.
It becomes what we truly want when we keep asking of it from our Maker.
Don't be surprised when you ask of something and it doesn't get answered right away, it took the Israelites about 40 years to get to the promised land.

When you want something, pray! Pray!! Pray!!! After praying, try and put steps in place to get what you want.
It might not be comfortable at first, it might seem impossible even, but focus on the goal and keep praying and it will come to you.

Pray for the God who created you.

I believe in the spiritual aspect of life. But some people do not understand that.

God will surely answers OUR prayers. Nice write-up Boss. It's motivating

There is nothing prayer can not do. You can pray against bad thing from happening likewise you can also pray for good things.

Nice write up, however, I think there's a grey area in between the good and evil for people like me to operate. I barely believe in the existence of these forces; I think its a simplistic way to address issues because it gives no room for critical reasoning and analysis of situations

"The best way to practise a religion is to love and be humble before who we believe in. That way it will help every other areas of our lives."

You are absolutely correct, we must pray without ceasing for us to be victorious over the darkside. We are overcomers in Christ and what this means is there will be wars, there will be attacks, there will be obstacles but we are guaranteed of victory through Christ who strengthen us. He paid the full price for us, conquered the world, death couldn't handle him, grave couln't hold him therefore all we have to do is to ask his Father in his name. Stay blessed.

Men ought always to pray

This should bevmy first time of seeung a christian post on your blog @ehiboss. Well, you said it all, the fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. We as Christian must learn to pray without growing weary for therein lies the answers to our supplications
