When Praying Daily Becomes A Mere Routine - Are They Still Effective? by Nobody: 8:59pm On Oct 19, 2013
MOGs in the house...what happens when you keep praying/going to church day after day for weeks and months and years to the extent that praying just becomes a mere routine to you (cos you are so used to it)...does it (the prayer) still have any value or potency left in it...is it still useful?

A prayer is and will remain effective as long as it was said with an uninterupted faith and full devotion.

Coming into God's presence can never become ineffective. No matter how frequently you do it.

Routine simply means something you do repeatedly, that doesn't make the thing become ineffective.

I brush, shave and bathe daily for years now, it has become a routine but has never become ineffective. If i don't do it, i get uncomfortable.

I believe the same applies to the word, prayer and fasting. Making them a routine can't make them ineffective. Infact they need to become a routine, for you to stay spiritually healthy.

Pray without ceasing but at the same time do not mock God with your lifestyle.

If you eat the same thing, I assure you you'll get tired of it and your body might even start rejecting it thus making it not only inefficient but lethal.

its better to not confuse a journey with a destination.

the two are different.

if you dont eat certain set types of foods, you suffer from lack of nutrients, fall sick and die.

there is no variance or shadow of turning and thats why its called "balanced diet".

its not balanced if you just throw random assortment together without considering if it can sustain your body. You go just dey malnourished from empty calories of variety.
