10 Meaningful Benefits of Prayer

God, who loves us like a parent, wants us to talk to Him through prayer. He always pays attention when we pray. Praying every day can bring blessings to you, your family, and the people you pray for. It can also make your life more peaceful, help you understand God’s plan for you, and do more. Here are ten ways praying can make your life better, starting today.

Prayer helps you develop a relationship with God

Just like your parents on earth, God who is your Heavenly Father wants to communicate with you and listen to you. When you talk to Him, He pays attention. He replies to your prayers by giving you ideas, spiritual feelings, messages from religious texts, or by making other people help you.

Prayer helps you gain an understanding of God’s loving nature

The holy books say that “God is love” (1 John 4:8). When you talk to Him every day through prayer and ask for His help in your life, you can feel that love.

Prayer provides answers

If you pray and pay attention to what God tells you, it can help you figure out what you’re supposed to do in life. God will guide you to understand your purpose on earth and show you what you need to do to go back to live with Him after you die.

Prayer helps you find direction in your life

If you talk to God in private when you pray, it can help you make important decisions in your life. God always listens, and sometimes, He gives us the exact answers and guidance we need. Even if He doesn’t reply right away or the way we expected, praying can still help us feel calm and peaceful.

Prayer gives you the strength to avoid the temptation

Jesus advised his followers to “Watch and pray so that you don’t fall into temptation” (Matthew 26:41). Through prayer, we can avoid giving in to temptations to do wrong things. Pray to God for help so that you don’t make bad choices. This will give you the power to do what is good and right.

Prayer aligns your will with God’s will

Prayer is not just about telling God what to do. It’s about getting to know Him better and understanding the way He does things. By doing this, you can follow what God wants you to do. As C.S. Lewis said, prayer “doesn’t make God do things differently, it changes me.”

Prayer and regular fasting can help you accept God’s will

Jesus fasted for 40 days and 40 nights before He started His work on earth. During this time, He spoke with His Father in Heaven through prayer. Similarly, if you pray and fast, you can feel nearer to God and have a better understanding of what He wants you to do.

Prayer can work miracles

In many places in the holy books, we see that God performed miracles when people prayed to Him. For instance, in the Old Testament, when the prophet Daniel was put in a lions’ den for praying, angels appeared and stopped the lions from attacking him. Through daily prayer, you can also experience your own personal miracles such as healing, peace, and forgiveness for your mistakes.

Prayer invites the Holy Spirit into your life

When you pray every day, you ask the Holy Spirit to be with you and make you feel calm, and guide you. The Holy Spirit can give you solutions, help you experience God’s love, and fill your heart with happiness and serenity.

Prayer helps you become more like Jesus

Jesus showed us how to pray perfectly. If you try to pray like Him, you will become more like Him and have a better connection with Him and Heavenly Father.
