Prayer can be a difficult one, I suppose its like any form of verbal communication and relationship maintenance.
There are times that one feels close and connected and others not so much.
Being not so much of a verbal communicator myself and rather independent and self-sufficient, I find it easy to slip out of the groove of earnest dependent prayer.
I suppose that's why our lives have bumps in the road and jolts to our comfortable little routines. It's in these times of an increased sense of vulnerability that I find my prayers become more earnest more meaningful and ultimately more productive.
It's a shame that we don't always reach out to the extended hand of a loving Father in Heaven as much as we could; but that is life.
We are here to learn and experience many things and building a bond and relationship with our loving Father on Heaven, whom we cannot currently see, is one of them.
It is in prayer that we can often most keenly feel His presence and it is often in answer to earnest prayer that we receive our greatest comfort, guidance and inspiration.
Jesus taught:
"Ye must watch and pray always."
—3 Nephi 18:15
Prayer is the simple communication between God the Father and His beloved children. God has promised to answer the prayers of those who humbly ask.
WAYS YOU CAN MAKE YOUR PRAYERS MORE MEANINGFUL
Has something small or big worked out for you today?
Recognize God’s blessings by saying a prayer to give Him thanks.Feel like you’re not getting answers to your prayers?
Ask God to help you be an answer to someone else’s prayer.How many people do you know who could really use a heartfelt prayer?
Say a prayer in which you never mention your own needs but instead pray solely for them.

@gavvet, Brilliant topic discussion in this moment. Its grateful one.
The scriptures are chock full of verses admonishing us to pray to our Heavenly Father. The commandment to pray can sometimes be a tricky one because prayers can easily become redundant and repetitive. I know I catch myself saying the same thing over and over in my prayers on a regular basis—I have to be very mindful to make my prayers meaningful and truly talk to God.
I've noticed it's the same for my children as I listen to their prayers. It's human nature to fall into the habit of just saying a prayer and not really being aware of the words you are saying. On the other hand, The Maestro is a wonderful example of how to pray thoughtfully and I love to listen to his prayers because he truly communicates with our Father in Heaven.
Thank you for giving opportunity.
I say this moment 'MERRY XMAS TO YOU!!!"

Only most spiritual and dedicated people pray every day. Most of us we do it only when we hit rock bottom or we face whit huge problem that we can not resolve. I agree, it is a shame. At the morning I always do the gratitude journal, which in way is recognizing God blessings.

Wow... I'm very impressed i must say. Its very rare to see someone talk about prayer and God without trying to impose it on other people.
The almighty has done so much for us, we just keep identifying the little problems that are only meant to make us strong, and neglecting his infinite mercies and provision.
Thank you for this reflection, i've forgotten how to appreciate God. I would to turn a new live. Thanks once more for this.

Hello @gavvet that good writing, there is an incredible power in prayer, it is through it that our spirit is nourished with God's, where we change, and where he reveals to us his nature of mercy and love, I also made my contribution about what I think of this beautiful script. https://steemit.com/lighttheworld/@darlenys01/the-power-of-prayer-day-24-lightheworld

I believe in the power of prayer, good energy and positive thoughts or having a optimistic attitude always works well.
whenever we worry, and try to figure out “how” our situation will be resolved. Saying prayers always help us to replace worry with with hope of something positive. It doesn’t matter how we pray or what words we use, but only that we do pray sincerely from our heart.
Prayer brings us into direct communication with God, and our angels. When we are speaking directly to these powerful beings of love and light, we are ensuring that our desires and needs are expressed. Just as asking for help opens the door to Divine abundance, prayer can have powerful effects on every aspect of our life.
I believe, There is no such thing as an unanswered prayer. While we may not receive the specific response we’re hoping for, it is reassuring to remember that we always receive the one we need. We are not always aware of the myriad variables that surround a situation, as our human view is very limited. God has no such limitation and can follow any path to its highest and best outcome.
Merry Christmas to you and your family @gavvet! 🎄🎉🎊

Wow! Great post and amazing concept. Prayer is an invocation or act that seeks to activate a rapport with an object of worship through deliberate communication.💙💚
Prayer can be a form of religious practice, may be either individual or communal and take place in public or in private. It may involve the use of words, song or complete silence. When language is used, prayer may take the form of a hymn, incantation, formal creedal statement, or a spontaneous utterance in the praying person. There are different forms of prayer such as petitionary prayer, prayers of supplication, thanksgiving, and praise. Prayer may be directed towards a deity, spirit, deceased person, or lofty idea, for the purpose of worshipping, requesting guidance, requesting assistance, confessing transgressions (sins) or to express one's thoughts and emotions. Thus, people pray for many reasons such as personal benefit or for the sake of others (called intercession).
Some anthropologists believe that the earliest intelligent modern humans practiced a form of prayer. Today, most major religions involve prayer in one way or another; some ritualize the act, requiring a strict sequence of actions or placing a restriction on who is permitted to pray, while others teach that prayer may be practiced spontaneously by anyone at any time. I really loved your post. Thanks @gavvet for sharing this post. 💖
Have a glorious day!!
Merry Christmas!!🎊🎉🎀🎀🎈🎈🎄🎄🎁🎁🎁

Prayer is the practice of the presence of God. It is the place where pride is abandoned, hope is lifted, and supplication is made. Prayer is the place of admitting our need, of adopting humility, and claiming dependence upon God. Prayer is the needful practice of every religions. Prayer is the exercise of faith and hope. Prayer is the privilege of touching the heart of the Father through the Son of God.💛
Every holly books speaks much of prayer. But, sometimes, too often, we ignore prayer and seek to accomplish in the strength of our own wills those things that we desire to have or happen. For those of us who are too often guilty of this, we need to bow our knees, confess our sin, receive God's forgiveness, and beg that the will of the Lord be done above our own. God is sovereign and loving and He knows what is best for us and others, even if it doesn't always seem to make the most sense.
We so often come to the Lord with legitimate requests for healing, conversions, and needs and yet the answers we hope for often do not come. We wonder and sometimes doubt. Yet, we persevere and praise God. We pray because we know that God hears us and because we desire to see results. We should pray by faith, trusting God. We should pray consistently, trusting God. We should pray for healing, trusting God. Thanks @gavvet for sharing this post.😊💙

Unfortunately, we pray only when we feel helpless. At least that is what I realized, I did during the last years. I feel sorry and I always start asking God to forgive me for getting more away from Him. We should all pray and thank God even when we don't have problems but in that moments we forget.

Oh yeah, an excellent article and very relevant during the holy holiday! I think that the importance and significance of prayer is very great. Prayer is a pier for the weary, an anchor for waves shaken by waves, a cane of the infirm, a treasure of the poor, a stronghold of the rich, a destroyer of diseases, a guardian of health. Prayer preserves our goodness undoubtedly and soon eliminates evil if temptation catches us, it easily drives it away, if there is a loss of property or anything else that causes sorrow to our soul, all this it soon erases. Thank you @gavvet and happy Christmas!

If you do not pray truly, do not have a true memory of God, then it is unbearably difficult to live - a true life. Therefore, one who does not pray often becomes discouraged. And then this state becomes chronic, and no matter what spiritual there is in principle no strength. The prayer is a thread connecting us to God. It must be, because without it it is very difficult.

Yes, Prayers always work within the time frame of an ordained true mission, according to our divine plan. To assure the outcome is what the Creators wants and needs for that moment. All prayers are answered and many have been turned back with broken hearts because their belief that they were not heard or answered, But, their prayer was answered, but they didn't hear or noticed it.
For me, Every time I prayed, it always yielded a positive outcome. ☺💚

Prayer in the Jewish religion
Prayer in the Jewish religion The Jew committed to performing prayers in his day and night, three prayers in the morning, afternoon and after Maghrib, is keen to pray in the temple dedicated to the followers of religion and is called the synagogue on Saturdays, Mondays and Thursdays of each week. And the synagogue when the Jews is a holy place should not be where the images and statues.
Prayer in the Christian religion
Prayer is a personal bilateral connection between us and God, Creator of the universe and our Creator.
But why do we say it is a bilateral connection? For God promised to answer every prayer raised by faith in the name of Jesus Christ. Jesus said,
"Truly, I say to you, the Father will give you everything you ask of him in my name. So far, you have asked for nothing in my name. "See the Gospel according to John 16: 23-24.
This does not mean that when Christians pray "in the name of Jesus Christ" it is a magical combination, but means praying in a spirit of righteousness and in keeping with the will of God as it appeared in His Holy Word. The Bible explained to us some of the necessary conditions for what God hears our prayer.
Prayer in the Islamic religion
Prayer is a great place for Muslims. It is the most important and most important pillar of Islam. It is the second pillar of Islam that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) urged to adhere to, and not to fail to perform it, and to apply it to the fullest. What Abd asked the creator of the most important thing, he started to pray and call him and pray to him to meet his demand. It was important to pray that the assumption of Muslims was not like all other acts of worship, but that the Almighty - when he imposed the prayer, called his Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, Vfdha on him and his nation in the seventh heaven

Nice one again. If I havent communicated with God a day, am not myself. I feel a lost contact, a lost connection for the day just because am used to God. When you are consistent with God, prayer becomes a routine in your daily life. I know somtimes in difficulties, prayer can be hard. But I always get relieved each time I talk to God about those issues, because i certainly knows He will do it. My life is totally nothing without Christ.
