Prayer is power. Needless to say, it’s a powerful spiritual weapon that you can have, and if you pray unceasingly, the protection and blessings from heaven are upon you. But during these busy times my dear friend, one forgets to pray or even acknowledge and thank the blessings, presence, and power of our creator, God.
Believers of a higher power know how powerful prayer can be but what are the benefits of prayer?
1. Protection. First and foremost, prayer is so powerful that it protects you from harm and evil. It is basically your weapon, your sword and shield.
2. It brings you closer to God. Prayer is a mode of communication to God, and the more you communicate with Him my dear friend, the more you become closer with Him and achieve spiritual growth. In fact, prayer helps you know God better and establish trust in the One Above All.
3. Blessings. The more we pray to God, the more blessing we receive from Him. The more we give and spend time with God, the more He showers us with wisdom, miracles, and other forms of blessings.
In Philippians 4:6, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.” In our prayer, we must put all our trust in God, for He knows what we need, when to give it, and how to give it. Never ever question His power. But the biggest question will be? How do we pray correctly?
Prayer is like buying an insurance policy in the spiritual realm wherein this spiritual insurance covers your life on earth and the after.
7 Key Elements Of A Power Prayer
1. Know Who You Are Talking To or Adoration. Adoration means giving praise and worship to a powerful being for example, “Dear God, the most powerful of all, creator of the universe, a loving and gentle being.” This should come at the very beginning of your prayer because God deserves your adoration.
2. Confession and Forgiveness. It shows your vulnerability and humility when you admit your sins and be willing to be cleansed by His power. For example, “I know God that I am not perfect, I know that I have sinned, help me God, help me be pure and worthy of your love.” Just a reminder, you must be extremely sincere in doing this for He knows the condition of your heart.
3. Thanksgiving. This portion of your prayer is about gratitude and thanks to Thee, give thanks for everything in your life whether good or bad, dear friend, blessings are blessings.
Remember this scripture, my dear friend.
“Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God”
1 Thessalonians 5:18
Supplication – this is the part where you humbly ask God for whatever you need and want in life, remember, humbly ask, do not demand ludicrous requests to God, for He knows what you need.
Pray With A Friend – a prayer partner is a powerful tool to achieve a powerful prayer, so encourage your friend to do a prayer together, or you can do a group prayer.
Pray For Those Who Need It – generosity has no cap, even in prayers, it is something you can do for others who extremely need it.
Pray Unceasingly – Never forget this, pray every time, in all circumstances, pray.

Dear friend, learn how to pray patiently, don’t rush, question, and demand the process of God for He is in control.
