The strongest prayer is the one that comes from the heart

At the most difficult moment, people turn their gaze and pleading to the Most High. What words come to mind, what is the strongest prayer that will help to be heard? Should this be all known and memorized by heart prayer, or can a person deliver his desperation to God in his own words? -5

How to pray?

This statement of the question is quite legitimate, because not every word has power. The strongest prayer is that which is pronounced from the heart, with deep faith. Pray with the hope of "maybe" - but suddenly it will help! - means to waste time in vain. One more thing the holy fathers say: when you pray, you need to think only about the meaning of your words, about the person for whom you ask God, you can not be distracted, utter words mechanically, absent-mindedly.

What can you pray for?

About everything that is good for the worshiper and his neighbors. God's mercenary requests for great wealth or for deeds that bring harm to anyone are not pleasing to God. Everything else, than a person lives, is in God's power. A man prays for health for himself and his loved ones, forgiveness for some sin, for success in business, for protection from evil people.

Undoubtedly, the strongest prayer is about children, because it, like no other, is pronounced with all the passion, with tears, with deep hope. Motherly prayer can protect children from bad deeds and thoughts, from harm from unkind people. Why is it sometimes possible to hear that the mother's entreaties do not help, but come out sideways? Such a statement is god-forgiving and profoundly wrong. Here we can talk about something else. Often, a mother may cry about failures with her children. And not always the mother knows what is good for them, and what's bad. Therefore, prayers become complaints rather than demands. Instead, one must realize that her children are the children of God, and agree that only He can show the way, but not the mother or father. And yet - you need to search in yourself the answer: for what my sins is my child suffering? And this will be the most powerful prayer - the recognition that everything is the will of the Most High.

In which language should we pray?

Will someone argue that God is one? All peoples and languages of the world are given their own Name of God - that's where the mystery that the near-minded people who are initiating religious wars can not solve. In every faith, the very ten commandments are uttered in different words. All sacred books describe the same deadly sins. God created all languages, and he understands every word on any of them. Pray in your own language, and do not memorize thoughtlessly texts in alien dialects - that's where the truth is. It should be clear that the strongest prayer of the mother comes from her soul and is pronounced in simple words, this is a mystery that she does not entrust to anyone but the Most High. And He hears it.

What is a favorite prayer?

Here too, there is no secret: everyone has his own favorite prayer, born of his own problems and pains. She is the most powerful prayer. It can be long, and can fit in one phrase. It can be repentant, humble, tearful - whatever, but it will be those words that can bring peace to the soul. Let everyone ask himself: what words ripen in my heart in a heartbeat? There is such a prayer and the author of these lines, and it sounds very simple, but it is the main thing in life: "Oh, Most High, do not let me see that my children are ill, but I do not have the strength to help them. Amen". And in bad minutes other, equally simple words come to mind, which help to withstand: "God, give me strength to endure it!"
