Daily Prayers
Prayer is not merely a collection of words as some think. The prime motive of prayer is to be united with God and His presence. The experience of "praying" in the presence of the Lord is a very special and exceptional experience bestowed upon humans. The greatest blessing man has received is his opportunity to open his mouth ans speak in the presence of the Lord. A person who is not upright can never open his mouth and make a strong prayer in God's presence. Try making a prayer with all your strength while your life is brimming with sins, wickedness and deeds against God. Inability to prolong that prayer will be the end result.

It goes without saying that it is quite difficult to be eloquent in God's presence without God permitting the flow of words. How great is the experience to open up and speak in the presence of God who created the heaven and the earth! Much greater is the fact that, such an omnipotent God listens to what we speak in prayer, in His presence. Even greater is the fact that the Lord answers to prayers! At the same time, one act which grabs the most indifference in most people's lives is, Prayer. Today's church is neither aware of the significance of Prayer, nor is conscious about Prayer. Coming to the temple of the Lord and kneeling down to say, "Lord, I have such a need in my life or I have this kind of weakness or this difficulty or tribulation in my life" is fulfilled portion of the experience of authority the Lord has bestowed upon us. Similarly greater is the experience of asking the Lord to send forth His presence to fill the place where we conduct the prayer.
