Praying is simply humbling yourself to Gods presence and talking. If we go to 1 of Thessalonians 5:16-18 it states that we should Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, giving thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God Christ Jesus for you. So even if you feel like the Lord is not answering our prayers, we need to wait in him. Patience is a fruit of the spirit, and it needs to be practiced. For Gods time is precious, and he is never late. Always pray in the mornings without eating. I personally praise the Lord out loud, but when I pray, I tend to pray in my head. Why? Because the evil can be listening. Have faith that the Lord is going to answer your prayer in due time, us humans want things done one day to another. Or miracles to happen in a week. But sometimes the Lord does not give us what we want right away, so when he does bless us, we are able to cherish it. Amen.
