Those who have received salvation try hard to pray. We pray to fill our needs, to give thanksgiving, and to ask for the filling of the Holy Spirit. However, there are many religions that pray, as well. What is necessary for us to enter into correct prayer? It starts from our desire to know about prayer and seeking ‘my prayer’ that God desires.

1. Prayer is a scientific fact

Aware of this fact, many religions are realistically praying. There are those who bow in prayer 108 times because it is good for the health, meditate, or even pray holding on to concrete prayer topics. Since prayer is scientific, the resulting effects certainly appear. Hundreds of billions of your brain cells are influenced as well as your thoughts, mind, and soul. In religions, you pray to empty yourself, but true prayer is not about getting rid of myself; it is about entering into the limitless kingdom of God.

2. Prayer is a spiritual fact

Prayer is correctly knowing and enjoying the triune God. It is the absolute answer to enjoy the working of the Holy Spirit. Prayer is knowing the background of heaven and the background of hell, and it is the sure answer to overcome the forces of Satan and the evil spirits. Prayer is the amazing mystery that moves the throne of heaven and prompts the angels to run errands. Prayer influences the spiritual realms. All of this is the promise of God.

3. Prayer must be personalized

You must know that prayer is both spiritual and scientific and begin to pray correctly. This is personalizing prayer. Knowing the answer that God is with you and discovering your spiritual rhythm through continuous and scheduled prayer will restore your desolate spiritual state. Through deep prayer, you will come to enjoy the power God has given to you and through concentrated prayer you will discover answers to important issues. Then, you will even perceive the future as an answer. As you continue this, prayer will take place without you trying with all your might to pray. Prayer is the time for those who are saved to enjoy the greatest peace and happiness.
