Thank u.God WILL isn't bottled up in the the heaven, it is with us here.The good book says,he who ask receive, seek find,knock shall open.How?Open ur Bible and search for ur area of need.Health, wealth, prosperity etc.Once u locate it,pray it.The word IT IS WRITTEN, THOUS SAYS THE LORD isn't nursery school rhythm.When U locate for instance, He sent his word and healed them and delivered them from destruction /I am the the Lord that heal u. U now address the situation Base on the word not God. 2, He says ask me (Lord Jesus,Ur word says so so.which is the way out of so so and so).The secret of God of the Lord is with them that FEAR HIM Psm 25:14.If u do what Jesus do,u'll have the same answer without sweating. It is not magic,IT IS EXERCISE. REMEMBER, FAITH WITHOUT WORK IS DEAD

U are too small. Tell me where it is written that"As they began to roll on the floor /cry,the Lord answered them " He says Pray not cry. As they began to PRAY Acts 4:31 not as they began to cry.

how can Africans be so dedicated to a religion that was forced upon their ancestors by another culture?

This Baffles me, do we really see the white man as Superiors even till ttoday?

How does this change the need for one to pray effectively? The void in your life needs to be filled...and only God almighty can do that.

Christians pray, but we don't always feel we're very good at it.

Christians pray – it's what we do. But sometimes we don't feel like it, sometimes we wonder what it's achieving, and sometimes we just don't know how.

Here is a framework for prayer based on the word ACTS:

Adoration: begin by remembering who God is and praising him for his creation and redemption.

Confession: admit that you are not the person you ought to be and bring to mind the things that you've done wrong. Say you're sorry.

Thanksgiving: spend time thinking about the good things in your life and thank God for them. Count your blessings.

Supplication: last of all, ask God for things. We may not understand how prayer 'works', but we can still believe God hears us when we pray.

We can learn a lot about prayer from seeing how people prayed in the Bible. When we do that we see that they didn't always find it easy either and that they probably had many of the same questions and frustrations that we do.

So here are 10 verses to encourage us as we think about prayer (all NIV).

1. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4: 6-7)

2. When you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words (Matthew 6:7).

3. When you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind (James 1:6).

4. Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective (James 5:16).

5. When hard pressed, I cried to the Lord; he brought me into a spacious place (Psalm 118:5).

6. I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you (Matthew 5:44).

7. In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans (Romans 8:26).

8. The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth (Psalm 145:18).

9. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9).

10. Pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17).

Why dhould I bother praying to something that doesn't exist. Despite the prayers you and your deluded lots keep deceiving yourselves with, Nigeria is only better than war torn countries.

Your god is only a figment of your imagination. The next time your family member is sick, take them to the church instead of a hospital.

Even pastors take medication and then thank a god that didn't do anything to make them better. You know why? Even they don't believe that igbe

You are correct my dear friend, Psalms 14:1 has summarized the matter.

This same God has promised me divine health and I can confidently tell you that for almost 5 years I've not had a single headache neither have I swallowed any medication. I pray that you will find Him and come to full reality. Jesus Saves...

The only reason why prayer seems hard is because you are talking to your imagination. How can something that doesn't exist answer your prayers?

And god has to stoop so low and demand all these things just to answer a prayer? undecided
low self esteem!grade up ur mentality.
