My Prayer Life

To describe my prayer life, it would not be meaningful to not mention others. For, as the saying goes, 'no man is an island'.

Prayer Involves Others

We are told to love our neighbors. And to love them as much as we love ourselves. So prayer is an inclusive subject. For God is love! 

That means we cannot talk about Prayer, God, or Love, without noting our Neighbors.

Love Thy Neighbor

It comes down to this simple equation. 

God = Love = Neighbor = Prayer. 

They all belong to each other and together.

Praying Properly

So, when we bow or kneel to pray, Everyone - meaning our neighbors, is included by intimating God. God incorporates love. To receive the full measure of God, and Love, we really should be including others.

Pray For One Another

We pray for our family and friends. And if we are praying for only those on our side of the fence, then, we are not loving everyone if we are divided. However, we should pray for those who differ from us. 

When we pray for all others, we open our hearts, and the hearts of others to love. The barriers and fences only serve to barricade us from within.

For if we all genuinely love one another, we would not hurt anyone. 

To Be Free

Free is to have an open consciousness, to love all without reservation. We are here to serve. To serve is to love. Serve humbly. To serve in a Godly way is to serve God in mankind. Our business, work, job, or service is a form of prayer.

Praying Ceaselessly

Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!

Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 

And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:4-7

Meditate on These Things

Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. Philippians 4:8
