Importance of Redirecting Prayers.

“Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one”

― Bruce Lee

Asking things from God is as important as working for them. We often neglect the moral value of prayer, it helps us relieve our stress, worry less, and have faith in a higher power than the man himself. But most of the time we often pray without a heart or ask for things in the wrong way. There are manners of everything in the world, and so is prayer. In Islam, you pray salah and then ask God; in Christianity, you go to church, and every other religion has its ways. But each of them has one thing in common: pleading.

“In prayer, it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart. ” – John Bunya.

We often think that God has abandoned us with our fate, but the Quran, it says, “Your Lord has not abandoned you, nor does He despise you.” [ Surah al-Duha, 94:5–6]; and in Bible ‘What do you think? If a shepherd has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go in search of the one that went astray? And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that never went astray.’ [ Matthew 18; 12–24].

So it is not God but man himself who is unaware of right method to ask. Asking God about the right thing is one, and choosing words for it is another major aspect. Rather than praying this way, ‘Some way to get rid of him, a way to save my child, some way to earn more money, some way to sleep with her’, we should say, ‘ Give me a way to stop trying to, seek a way to lose your fear, a way to desire less, a way to wanting to.’
