IMPORTANT: 6 Prayers Never to Fail saying Daily

There is the need to be prayerful and fortify oneself from the various plots and plans of the enemy. A little child born into the world has enemies not to talk of adults who can talk and move about.

The swaying of your hips could cause people around you to be envious, the jokes you throw around could be a reason why you may be hated. Being wealthy is another reason why people could pick on you and decide to make your life miserable.

Now, no one is going to force a religion on you; as far as we are concerned, these religious beliefs are simply put in place in order to help people take the path that is good. Prayers shield us from the dark forces that tend to pull us back in our journey of life; they guide us and thwart the plans of the enemies at the same time.

It is important for you to be prayerful as you cannot continue to rely on luck every time. There are lots and lots of testimonies shared by people who have made praying their habits.

Find below the basic points you should include in your prayers daily:

1. Pray for the safety of your loved ones

As much as you love your family members, it would be unrealistic for you to prevent them from going out. They would have to go to school, hang out with friends and do things that we would consider age appropriate.

You cannot protect them from the ills of the society; the best you could ever do for them is to include them in your prayers daily.

This would help them get through each day and protect them from the arrows of the enemies. Sometimes, accidents happen and some people get out unhurt as a result of the prayers offered by their loved ones.

2. A prayer for protection

Sometimes, we feel lost and a little bit disoriented; some people feel scared when they are alone as they constantly have an unsettling feeling that something could happen to them.

You should try adding this point to the list of things you want to talk to God about in prayers. It is important for you to ask the divine being to protect you from the dangers that may be lurking behind.

A prayer like this would help you stay positive as you go on with your daily plans and activities.

3. Pray for mercies and grace

As brave and hardworking as you could be, you need God’s mercies and grace upon your life. You did not create yourself; you need God’s grace to speak for you in certain areas of your life.

Grace is unmerited favour; this explains why some people get picked over thousands of people who are more qualified. Mercy is deliverance from judgement; this could be responsible for you having all the good things of life despite being a sinner.

You should always ask for these two things in prayers; stop relying on your efforts and commitments. God could bless your little effort by making you have bigger yields.

4. Pray for your relationships

As beautiful as love is, it has its challenges. You should mak it a habit to pray for your loved ones. Include them in your prayers and ask God to let his will be done in your affairs.

Lots of people would have been saved from being brokenhearted if they had prayed about that relationship. Do not get swayed by emotions; do not let feelings take the place of God.

Seek His face first before you venture into any relationship. Also, never stop praying for the relationships that have been established.

5. Pray for forgiveness

You cannot abide in sin and expect grace to grow; you have to make it a habit to always seek God’s forgiveness everyday.

One thing that makes us mortals is the fact that we are not perfect. We sin knowingly and unknowingly; our tongues and bodies cause us to sin.

Asking for forgiveness of our sins should be the first thing we should do while praying. It is only after this that you can make your requests known.

6. Give thanks in prayers

As human beings, we get weary when someone keeps taking from us without ever giving us anything in turn. God is not asking for much, only praises.

Learn to give Him thanks at all times. Thank Him for the answered and unaswered prayers; appreciate Him for His goodness and watch Him answer your prayers.

CARE FOR YOUR SOUL!

Once upon a time there was a rich King who had four wives. He loved the fourth wife the most and adored her with riche robes and treated her to the finest of delicacies. He gave her nothing but the best. He also loved the third wife very much and was always showing her off to neighbouring kingdoms. However, he feared that one day she would leave him for another. He also loved his second wife. She was his confidant and was always kind, considerate and patient with him. Whenever the king faced a problem, he could confide in her, and she would help him get through the difficult times. The King’s first wife was very loyal partner and had made great contribution in maintaining his wealth and kingdom. However, he did not love the first wife. Although she loved him deeply, he hardly took notice of her.

One day, the King fell ill and he knew his time was short. He thought of his luxurious life and wondered, ‘I now have four wives with me, but when I die, I will be all alone’. Thus, he asked the fourth wife, ‘I loved you the most, endowed you with the finest clothing and showered great cares over you. Now that I am dying, will you follow me and keep me company?’ No way! Replied the fourth wife and she walked away without another word. Her answer cut like a sharp knife right into his heart. The sad King then asked the third wife, ‘I loved you all my life. Now I am dying, will you follow me and keep me company?’ NO! Replied the third wife. Life is too good! When you die, I am going to remarry! His heart sank and turned cold. He then asked the second wife, ‘I have always turned to you for help and you have always been there for me. When I die, will you follow me and keep me company? I am sorry, I cannot help you out this time, replied the second wife. At the very most, I can only walk with you to your grave. Her answer struck him like a bolt of lightning and the King was devastated. Then a voice called out: ‘I will go with you; I will follow you no matter where you go’. The King looked up, and there was his first wife. She was skinny as she suffered from malnutrition and neglect. Greatly grieved, the King said, ‘I should have taken much better care of you when I had the chance!’

IN TRUTH, WE ALL HAVE FOUR WIVES IN OUR LIVES:

Our fourth wife is OUR BODY. No matter how much time and effort we lavished in making it look good, it will leave us when we die.

Our third wife is OUR POSSESSION, STATUS AND WEALTH. When we die, it will all go to others.

Our second wife is OUE FAMILY AND FRIENDS. No matter how much they have been there for us, the farthest they can stay by us is up to the grave.

Our first wife is OUR SOUL. Often neglected in pursuit of wealth, power, and pleasures of the world. However, OUR SOUL is the only thing that will follow us wherever we go. It is the only part of us that will follow us to the throne of God and continue with us throughout Eternity. Value your soul and feed with the word of God and prayers.

Jesus pointed out to His disciples that the soul is important when He said, “What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? (Matthew 16:26). Nothing in the world is more important than my soul. Yet how often I neglect this crucial part of me.

 Don’t neglect your soul. Care for it by spending time with the One who love you. Sit in silence. Read God’s Words. Listen for His voice. Ask Him to care for the most important, most fragile, most indestructible part of you. Read Psalm 23. Let the word sink into your heart. As you read and pray, visualize the green pastures and the Shepherd who promise to restore your soul.
