  • When you pray from your heart, the yearnings and groanings from deep within yourself are made one with the yearnings and petitions of all the saints, both triumphant and militant. So when you pray alone to God, you're in more company than any other time. Dionysius the Areopagite had a saying: "You're never less alone than when alone."
  • wats not to likk between having a convo wit God?
    i understand sometimes we dont pray with very good quality... likk skipping some words in the prayer or getting distracted and stuff likk dat. that bothers me so i get up and pray again. it sometimes is difficult if u r prayin at nite and u r likk really sleepy. But this prayer that u give God that nite with quality means alot to Him.
    Pray With Quality EveryOne

  • is it possible to be afraid of god??when i pray i am as if i am talking to my friend is that scary? :'(
  • why would you be afraid of god???? i mean he is hearing your prayers and god loves us!!!!!
  • well im just gonna share what pope shenouda said about prayer his book "Spirtual Means"
  • okay sorry u guys..
    here we go...

    Prayer is a bridge that links man to God.
    Prayer is the work of the heart, whether expressed in words or not. It is lifting up the heart to God because the heart talks to God through feelings and emotions more than the mouth does with words. The heart may be lifted up to God without words.
    Therefore, the sigh of the heart is a prayer before God. The heart’s longing to God is a prayer. Feelings of love towards God are a prayer.

    So prayer is a relationship between God and man. And if this hearty relationship does not exist, words would be of no use.

    If you love God, you will pray. And if you pray, your love for God
    will increase. So prayer is a statement of love that we express in words.

    god blesss you all!!!! ;)

  • you & god. god isnt just a friend, or someone you trust so much. hes your heavenly father. the one we shood love more than anyone else in this world.

    "for the world shall pass away and lust and the desires, but he that does the will of god, abides forever" we can make this relationship stronger by following his commandment.

    or how about during the passion week wen we sing thok taty gom. we say "the lord is my strength, my praise, and has become to me a sacred salvation"

    LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD, with all your heart, all your might and all your strength.

  • okay i really love your answer!! so i knoe that god is with me ans i love god very much!!!! i mean he is everything to me!!! thanks for your answer!!! and if anyone has anything else to say please say it god bless you all!!! :D
  • thanks everyone for answering please keep sharing your answers and thoughts!!!! ;D
  • i would still like to hear from all of you and see if you have any other answers!!! thanks and god bless you all!!! :D
  • ok I'm just seeing this thread now so I'm a little late but here are my 2 cents...

    When you pray to God you should just say all that you are keeping all bottled up inside. You can be sure that the only reason he would tell anybody is for your own good, and that he'll ALWAYS do what's best for you. He is somebody whose mercy and compassion has no end, and will do anything for you to open the door to your heart (he died on the cross, nothing more than that). He is our Lord, Christ and Saviour. So if you have a problem, just go and start talking as if you're talking to yourself. He'll without a doubt hear you, and he'll even answer back. Prayer is the means of communication between us humans and Christ, and trust me, his number is never busy. :D
  • yeah thanks for the advice!!!! :D
  • np :) although i was late
    lol ;)
  • it is okay!!! :D
  • my input on this thing is that i think that you should just talk to god as u wud talk 2 ur most trusted friend...maybe a best friend....let out your thoughts and your needs and your concerns...its very nice...luv ya gurl...bye

  • prayer is sooo good when you are alone with god all you have to do is try your hardest to keep away from satan and concetrate... all you g2 do is go in a room where there wont be temptaions around you and spill everything to ur best friend, god. he is there for you and will always be when you pray[glow=red,2,300]
