We pray to God in different ways, at different places and at different times. All religions tell us that we must pray to God but what is the necessity of praying ? Prayer is a thanks giving to The Supreme Power. Irrespective of our religions, we pray to God praising Him for all His kindness. He has given us innumerable gifts- Our life, our beautiful earth, family and friends that make our life worth living. Prayer is a way to thank and to show our gratitude to God for all these gifts He has bestowed upon us. Prayer is like talking to God as a close Friend or loving Father. When we pray to God, we feel as if God is present with us. We can talk to Him and place our problems before Him. When God is with us, who can cause any harm to us? Prayer instils in us the values of humility, kindness and confidence. Prayer binds us with God and brings us nearer to Him. Prayer gives us strength and courage to face problems. It gives us peace of mind, comfort and consolation in difficult situations. Problems which cannot be solved otherwise, find easy solution in prayer. If we pray earnestly, we will find inner strength and wisdom to deal with any challenging situation with ease
