Why do we have to pray all the time
Few months ago my 5 years old a the time challenge me with one question. "Mom why do we have to pray all the time."
You pray before You eat, before You take the road, before You go to bed. And You encourage her to get into that prayer program a school... it was another prayer. I guess that where that question come from. She kept asking why, I kept trying to give her all king of reasonable response (Because You need to ask God protection, because You need to thank God for infini love he has for you...), but it still seem like she was not quiet satisfied.
Thinking about it very You I start asking myself why do You have to pray all the time really.
You actually don't need to ask God to protect you every single minute for him to do so! You don't need to said thank you to God all the time for him know how much You are thankful, how much You are blessed.
YOU PRAY FOR YOURSELVES.
You pray to stay connected with our inner which is a good thing for our spirit.
You pray to disconnect from all the distraction that surround you and to give yourselves a chance to refill your body with the spiritual food.
I like to mention here that pray itself is a state of praise, reconciliation, invocation. However the same prayer lead us to the state of listening that can be call comtaplation prayer or even meditation. I just like to call it listening. You listen your inner, you connect with him.
When you do all of that you refresh yourself, you revive yourself, you are ready to face your challenge with more energie. Who don't like to fill free and to refresh.
Let keep body mind and spirit connected through prayers and meditation. I give more detail about the body mind and spirit it=n this article here
