How Do I Start Taking To God

By Frances Smith


Prayer is an effective way to talk to your creator. It is a moment where you recognize that you are powerless in the hands of adversities on earth and that your power comes from above. Many people have been struggling with the question how do I start taking to God my needs after many years of not saying a single prayer. In other instances, it is your mind that is too distracted to say a prayer.

An effective prayer must have a clear intention. This will direct your conversation with God. Thanksgiving is a common and obvious place to start. Remember other people who do not have the opportunity or appreciation of the element of prayer. This is also the moment to ask for the things you have desired in life, both material and non-material. Everything that you ask for should be mentioned instead of generalizing.

Prayer should help you clear the issues that are vexing you. Give priority to whatever you want to achieve and is giving you nightmares or sleepless nights. Do not fear to tell God about anything. Some of your demands will require personal action. Prayer provides the inspiration you need to act and thus change your life.

Prayer requires utmost sincerity. The creator is sincere and will deliver to people who are like Him. Lack of sincerity is like putting water in a bucket that has holes. You are fully aware that the water will spill out of the bucket and never get filled. Be open to God and should you feel that it is your fault that God has not heard your prayer, accept and make amends.

Thanksgiving is considered one of the most effective prayers. It is an indication of appreciation of what has already been received as you wait to receive more. It opens up your eyes to see the things that are positive in your life and thus appreciate the miracle you have received. Some of these gifts might appear obvious but once viewed through a thanks giving eye, they are very significant.

An outpouring of the heart marks the moment of prayer. It takes strong faith for prayers to be effective. Faith enables what appears impossible in the eyes of men to be actualized through God. The spirit directs your actions and thoughts leading you to deeper evaluation of self. By following the direction of the spirit, you will usher God into your life and prepare it for change.

There are several ways you can use to get into the mood and begin your prayer. Many religious groupings use hymns as a form of worship. They help you get into prayer mood and are in themselves prayers. If you are near a shrine or prayer facility, say your prayers there. Such places are quiet and allow you to have a candid conversation with God.

Religious scriptures are effective in supporting your prayer life. The words are ordered in a way that enables you to concentrate your thoughts and be in the right mental frame. You may also invoke the assistance of religious leaders or join a prayer group. Prayer is an extremely personal encounter with god and should not be interfered with by religious affiliation.
