We Catholics call it the hour of Divine Mercy. Remember that Christ expired at the third hour. There is this Saint that Christ visited and introduced the prayer of Divine Mercy. Her name is St Maria Faustina. On every visit to her by Christ, she wrote all He told her in her diary. Christ specifically told her that He refused nothing asked of Him at that hour which is the hour of Mercy. He said that He will pour all His mercy to any soul that came to Him at that hour. I have received answered prayers at that hour and I don’t usually play with it. Sometimes , if I am on motion and it’s 3pm , I do say the prayer. It’s goes like this,

In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, amen.

You expired Jesus, but the source of life gushed forth for souls and the ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world. O fount of life, unfathomable Divine Mercy envelope the whole world and empty yourself out upon us, amen.

O Blood and Water which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a Fount of mercy for us, I trust in You.

Then say Our Father, Hail Mary, I believe in God.

You use the rosary for this prayer.

On each of the big bead of the rosary , u say, “Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of your dearly Beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.”

Then on each small beads , you say “For the sake of His sorrowful passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world” (10times)

Then start another one with Eternal Father , I offer You as the prayer above.

After saying it 5times, you say Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world(3times)

Then , you say private prayers and petitions. You ask the Lord anything u wanted at this time.

After u close the prayer like this:

ETERNAL FATHER, in whom Mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase Your Mercy in us, that in difficult moments we might not despair, nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to Your Holy Will, which is Love and Mercy itself , Amen.

Then say Jesus, I trust in You (3times)

Let me also say that praying at that hour especially 3am shows a sign of commitment, dedication and love for God because the whole world sleep at that hour. So it is a good thing to wake up and say some prayers at that hour even if u are not a catholic.

Hope the above helps.

It is a spiritual hour for witches, wizards, pastors and other mediums.
Nah they'll be leaving the meeting already by 3am
They start 1am and leave 3am.So it's best you start prayers by 12:30am,start before them.

There's nothing special about 3,6,9 or 12 hours of prayer. These times were observed in Jewish tradition as special hours of prayer, but Paul rebuked Christians in Gal.4:9-10 to stop the practice because it's bondage.

The special prayer hours was Catholic Dogma copied by some churches that has no truth in the New Testament of Spirit of Liberty.

A Born Again man does not need all that. What he needs is faith in the finished work of Christ, Heb.11:6, Mk 11:22-24.

He needs to grow in the knowledge of his rights, power and authority and all the blessings that Christ's resurrection had given to him;Phil.2:9-11,2Peter 1:3-4.

A born again man is instructed to PRAY ALWAYS IN THE SPIRIT,Eph 6:18. This is where the power and answer to prayer is.

Yes, Jesus prayed all night, Luke 6:12. He did that to avoid distractions. When you pray, learn to focus your mind on Him in faith and you will see result not minding the hour you pray.

Re: Is 3 O'Clock The Most Effective Hour To Pray?? by Nobody: 9:40am On Apr 12, 2020
Prayer can be done anytime and hour of the day, provided you pray right. Praying right is what matters and not the time of the day.

Now Gods timing is not same as ours just like His ways are not like ours'. We men ,try to box God in in corner by trying to dictate how he should work or answer us. Now, for all you know, that your 3am might be God's own 1pm the most active time of the day. So what makes you think, he'll be "less busy" and better attend to your prayers at that time. For your info, our time zones are different all over the world. So while you're thinking the world is "less busy" in your zone, the other parts are fully awake with activities going on and God is also foreseeing the affairs of these other regions of the world. So He never "less Busy". Pray aright and you'll get results.

Study the word to shew thyself approved a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth"
God says, "WHEN you call upon me in time of trouble, I will answer you. He didn't say when you call at 3 or so so time. God is ever attentive to our prayer whenever we call upon him. Please let stop stereotyping God.

YES.
IT'S THE ONLY TIME OF THE DAY WHEN GOD IS LESS BUSY AND AVAILABLE TO LISTEN TO YOUR PRAYERS AND WHININGS, AND HOW YOU TRY TO CONVINCE THE MOST-HIGH MOST-WISE GOD TO ABANDON HIS DIVINE PLANS AND MAKE ROOM FOR YOUR PERSONAL WISHES AND DEMANDS.
Who says God is less busy at that time? Remember time zones differs. 3AM here here in Nigeria is 9:00 AM in Japan

Growing up, we learnt it's 2am

That's when all the witches are flying to their meetings...
But then, when I became a man, I put away childish things and learnt that a Christian spirit is a praying spirit, which should be involved in prayer at every point in time...
I LOVE you with the love of the Lord

Re: Is 3 O'Clock The Most Effective Hour To Pray?? by oginga: 9:49am On Apr 12, 2020
1am is the best time to pray as that is when Angels of heaven comes down to bless choosen ones, also agents of darkness such as evil sprits, witches and wizards converge at 1am, their operations and activities ends at exactly 3am... My advice to love ones is to pray from 1 to 4am.

No.

Pray without season, that is the message.

The one at 3'oclock pm on Good Friday was very appropriate for that purpose

The one at 3am is also good. It enables you to keep vigil against Atheistic Night & Peace Marauders.
Re: Is 3 O'Clock The Most Effective Hour To Pray?? by redsun(m): 10:01am On Apr 12, 2020
Lack of good sleep causes mental psychosis. At 3 am you should be in deep sleep unless you are on a night shift.
Re: Is 3 O'Clock The Most Effective Hour To Pray?? by sgtmark(m):
12am -3am, It's called Watch Hour.
At this hour human's tend to fall deep asleep, whereby ungodly and Godly things do happend.
Jesus Christ also prayed at Gethsemane during this time, he came back and findeth them (disciples) asleep...

well 3 o clock is the hell hour and the only way is up when you are in rock bottom hell and so this is when your prayer will be most effective because the only way is up. its the alchemy hour.

How true is this assertion that prayers @3 o' clock are more effective??

The Catholics call it "Divine Mercy" prayers

People say 3AM is the Devil's time, since Christ died in sacrifice at 3PM on that Good Friday, ( Matthew 27 Vs 45: "From noon until three in the afternoon darkness came over all the land" ) , and the Devil likes to twist everything God makes, he would choose the opposite time to make his misdeeds. So, some people would wake up at that time to pray, believing that it's more necessary, while others always add that it's the period where there was a Divine interaction between man & God, an ease of passage of Man from physical into supernatural, (In Chris's death), therefore God is usually more accessible at that hour.

Have you ever experienced any of such "effectiveness" in prayers @ this hour??

I have a friend who testified to that...
Hmmm...Prayer is Prayer oh...be it 3am or whatever...
God in His word admonishes us to pray without ceasing..
And come to think of it,if you choose to be praying at 3am and you decide to form a prayer group with a relative staying in America...whose 3am will you use..??**thinking out loud..

God is in every hour. Just pray to the Holy Spirit to allocate your own covenant hour of prayer to you and He will do it.... Severally , I did and severally he woke me at that same very hour.

Wake up very alert

When did you get all that? Any people who does that lives in fear and bondage. He will continue to run from one prayer house and ministry for deliverance because he believes in falsehood. A born again man who has come to Knowledge is greater than Satan; Phl.2:9-11, Eph.1:15-23.

Walk in knowledge of the Resurrection and you be free operations of elements of this world.
