I wish for people to see that there's hope in life if you simply pray.
However, from my previous experience in helping people to pray through difficult moments, I've found that the best prayers are gratitude prayers versus "beggars" prayers.
Gratitude prayers are mainly directed toward making your request to God, also called pleas. Then you have formal prayers like the Lord's Prayer and the Hail Mary. If you don't know these, just go to Google and you'll find them there.
When you have a serious request of Jesus, for instance, always begin with a gratitude prayer.This is my recommended prayer:
"Thank you dear Lord for helping me with my needs. (Explain your needs here.) If you should help me, I will be grateful to you forever."
It's a simple prayer which I've used many times for my own needs. I highly suggest that you stand tall when you ask God for help. To act meek, depressed, and down-and-out only weakens your resolve to go to God for His help, and actually believe that He will help you.
"Beggars prayers" on the other hand places you on the weaker side of the famous words from Jesus: Ask and you will receive....This is definitely a clear message to all of us that asking God for help is our right.
Beggars prayers don't show strength of faith, but of doubt and loss of hope. Whereas gratitude prayers are definitely on the side of hope and faith!
Hopefully my message helps the reader, and if you should want to read my recent book, you will find many insights and information that I know will help you.
You may go to Amazon.com and type the title: A Life of Visions and Healing with Jesus Christ.
