Seven Days Without Prayers Make One Weak--How very true this is! Have you ever said , " I'm too busy to pray, my work keeps me occupied." or " What's the use of praying, when God does not answer my prayers?" My friend, you are forgetting that without prayers, you are even weaker--as you are subjected to even more temptations, perhaps suffer setbacks and your health is compromised.
Prayer is essential and the utmost important element in combating the forces of evil in our daily lives. It should be our first resort, certainly not our last! It shows our dependance on God, His Power and His Wisdom.
The Power of Prayer is not the result of the one who is praying, rather the power resides in God Who is being prayed to. God will answer prayers that are in agreement with His will. When we pray passionately with good intent, according to God's will, HE will respond powerfully.
Do you know that you can communicate with God by praying? Even, if you DO NOT know how to pray, simply have a dialogue with HIM. I encourage you to open your mind, your eyes, your ears and your heart to GOD and humble yourself before the Almighty. Speak to God as you are conversing to your friend on a cell phone, because your eyes cannot visualise Him.
Ask God for help as you speak, but forget about babbling on and on endlessly as this won't work with Him. Even your friends will tell you to shut your mouth, if you keep on babbling, because it is monotonous, right? God's divine help through the power of prayer works wonders, even miracles!
Little do you know, that the Power of Prayer has overcome all enemies, satan and his demons included; conquered death and healing your body of all afflictions and diseases. Through prayers, God opens your mind, your eyes, ears and heart. He heals wounds and grants wisdom to those who ask of Him.
In times of tribulations, trials and despair, we storm heaven with supplications. Why must we wait for troubles, sickness and disasters to occur, then only turn to the Almighty God and pray? Do we expect immediate help when most of the time, we neglect to pray and even forsake God in good times. We always have this excuse to say that we have no time to pray...how sad it is, particularly when we are dependant on God for everything--our very own survival and salvation!
Never underestimate the Power of prayer! For it draws on the Glory and Power of God, albeit the might of this infinitely Omnipotent and most wonderful and loving God of the whole Universe.

The Wonders of GOD's Divine Providence.
Almighty GOD is a super Divine Being--all powerful, omnipotent, magnificent, infinite, immortal, most holy, loving and merciful, and our Heavenly Father.
What is Divine providence? It is God's complete control of all His creation - the Universe, our physical world, mankind and all the creatures created by Almighty God. It is also His love, protection and salvation for the human race.
The purpose of Divine Providence, is the fulfilling of God's will and our faithfulness to Him.The affairs of mankind are governed by God and His works through Nature, in order to fulfill His purposes.
The laws of nature are no more than God's depiction at work in the Universe. In fact, the laws of nature are God's rules and principles, set to govern how things are done.
It is true that God established everything that will occur in due time, as prophesied by His prophets in the past.
All creatures should manifest God's glory, particularly men should glorify God, serving Him in love and obedience.
To accomplish His will, God works both directly and indirectly. Miracles and supernatural events, are God's direct accomplishment of His will.
Indirect accomplishment, is when God's holy Spirit directs and prevent us from going somewhere, or doing something that is not in accordance with His will.
God gives us freedom of choice apart from His will. No doubt, that God can influence and control our choices and actions, especially if we choose to disobey God.
In spite of sin, due to the wilful perversion of humans, and evil which is the consequence of sin...God directs all to the final end for which the world was created.
In His divine purity, God detests and rejects sin, which is an offence against God. If you love God, will you not obey His commandments? Will you not strive to please Him, and to cease offending Him? He is a most wonderful, loving, patient and tolerant God who loves us, despite our sinfulness and ingratitude.
Know that God lacks nothing, nor is He truly in need of us. We on the other hand, need God. Our being, our very own survival and salvation--depends on God who created us in His image and likeness.
God can do without us, but we cannot do without Him.Why? You may ask. Without God, do you know that we will surely be at the horrible mercy of satan and his demons? - who as we can visualize, spare no mercy for us in life, or worse still--in death!
For God so loves us that He sent His only Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, to suffer and die crucified on the cross, to atone for our sins...that we may have salvation in Him!
Sin is punishable by God, our righteous Judge, whether in this life or in the next.
Likewise, God also rewards men, according to their good works. He uses suffering to purge and purify us like purified gold - tried in fire.
Converting evil for good. Though God permits sin, yet He Does Not permit evil, unless God can draw good out of evil.
Therefore, God in His wise and loving Providence, protects and governs all things in His creation. We must have faith and trust in God, bow down and worship Him only, and no other--for our citizenship is in Heaven.
