Prayer For My Love

Did you know that prayer is the most frequently used complement to modern medicine?

In fact, it’s head and shoulders above even the mighty vitamins and herbs and just about any other form of traditional/alternative therapy that you can think of. But, does prayer actually work? 

I bet you didn’t know this… 

Prayer is also backed by science!

I kid you not folks! Several studies have shown the prayers help the person who does the praying as well those for whom the praying is done.

In fact, so immense is the power of prayer that the mere knowledge of someone praying for them (even if there is nobody actually praying for them) brings about significant relief from both physical, mental and emotional health concerns.

Of course, there will always be scientists who discredit the miracle that is prayer. But, there is one thing even modern science cannot deny – Those who pray feel the power of the divine in their body and their mind.

Praying has a remarkable ability to bring about a positive mental change. Particularly, when you pray not for yourself but selflessly for someone else, the results can be truly profound.

Since I started this article by talking about the actual science-verified benefits of prayer, I will take it one step ahead and tell you exactly-

How Praying For Yourself And For Others Helps You!

• You develop a more optimistic mindset even when things are not going your way.
• You build hope that although you have no control over the situation, there is a higher entity up there who does.
• Because praying is not always about asking but also about thanking, you inevitably start noticing the positive side of life and develop a sense of gratitude for what you have.
• Since all religions endeavour to keep people away from vices, the tenets turn into your book of rules that control impulsive behaviour.
• When you pray, no matter who you are praying to or what method you are using to connect with the Almighty, you already know that there are no immediate results/miracles to be had. So, you are willing to wait. And this patience, inevitably instils the habit of accepting delayed gratification.
• You start to see things from a broader perspective and are more open to the idea of “good for everybody”, instead of just “good for me”.
• You develop an aptitude for forgiveness towards yourself and others.
• And last but not the least, you certainly train your brain and your mind to focus

But, that’s not all, as is the case with other spiritual methods like yoga, chanting mantras, meditation, etc., praying helps you to remove your mind and your thoughts from a stressful situation. And the immediate benefit of that is a significant drop in cortisol levels.

And there’s more from where all that comes. Intercession, according to science, is just as good for you as praying for yourself. But, I particularly like, the spiritual view on the matter.

And That Is Why Praying For Others Is So Good For You!

These are the words of a rabbi who was responding to a question on whether praying for others also helps the person praying as quoted here.

His explanation was this – God is the limitless source of all blessings but he likes to and wants to work through a channel.

So, when you ask the Almighty’s blessings for somebody, you become the channel for bringing His blessings into the world of this somebody. So, what this somebody gets, you get too.

An example from the Bible: The rabbi further drives the point home by giving the example of the birth of Isaac. Abraham prayed for the blessing of children for Abimelek (Genesis 20:17).

While God granted Abimelek the boon of children, Abraham was also rewarded for his selfless prayer and that’s why we read about Isaac’s birth immediately after Abraham’s prayer.

The perfect analogy: The rabbi explains it simply yet beautifully as he asks us to think of God as the source of water, and the grass that needs water as the person we are praying for.

When we selflessly pray for someone, we become the garden hose that channels the water from the source to the grass.

Of course, the grass gets life sustaining water but the hose also inevitably gets drenched in that very same water. And that is how, by the Lord’s Mercy, we receive the same of what we ask for others.

So, pray I say, not just for yourself but in concentric circles, starting with you and then moving to those close to you. Then, pray your way outward till the point where you are asking our Father that everybody in this world be the recipient of his grace and love.

And my dear brothers and sisters in faith (no matter what your religious inclinations), if you are ready to pray for all those who fill your heart with love, for all those who you consider God’s blessing in your life, here are a few words that will get you started.

Praying As A Couple: The Best Thing That You Can Do For Each Other And Your Marriage! 

When you pray for your spouse, it leads to marvellous results. But, when you join your hearts and efforts together as soul mates in prayer, miracles can happen. Wonder why?

As you pray together, you add your desire to make her happy with her desire to be happy and vice versa. And just like that desire, your individual feelings of gratitude and joy also double when you approach God together as a couple.

Above all praying together, opens a man and a woman to each other as is not possible in any other way. For starters, when you pray together, you acknowledge that the joy you feel is attributed to your joint efforts and not just to yours alone.

Similarly, if you are facing issues, in your relationship or otherwise, you accept that these also stem from the errors of both parties. Once that happens, there is no room left for the dreaded blame-game. Most importantly, this realization gives birth to a sense of humility by toning down your ego and that alone can do wonders for your relationship.

And no folks, these are not just empty words. The benefits of praying together as a couple are also backed by hard figures. For instance, did you know that less than 1% of the couples who pray together daily head towards divorce?

Now, compare this with the extremely high divorce rate of 65% among other couples. I ask you, if not the power of praying together as a couple, then what else can possibly cause such a mammoth difference? So, if you are ready to start praying with your spouse, here are- 

10 Tips That Will Help You To Pray Together As A Couple

This is what you need to know:

1. Pray together at least once a day. In fact, make praying as a couple your priority.
2. Choose a time that works for both of you, so you don’t have to rush through the prayer.
3. Pick a place where you can pray without being interrupted.
4. You can pray over a cup of tea/coffee or even when enjoying the sunset on the porch.
5. Start small and if you have trouble finding the words at first or feel awkward, simply recite Bible verses to each other.
6. You don’t have to say things together. Take turns to pray but make sure that each of you prays loudly.
7. You can write down the things that you want to include in your couple’s prayer.
8. Hold hands while you pray with your spouse.
9. Don’t turn your prayer with your spouse into a preaching or complaint session.
10. Praying together is not just about blurting out a robotic grace. It is about listening with your heart to the emotions of your partner and to the word of God.

And now, here is some inspiration to get you started on this wondrous and most fulfilling habit of praying together with your spouse.

Good morning prayer for couples – (A simple prayer for all that is good and all that brings joy; take turns reciting these lines or others that you may have written).

As we start this new day, Father, we thank you for each other, for our marriage and for our family.

We pray that:

May our day be full of happiness.

May this day bring us peace.

May this day be filled with love and respect for each other.

May this day hold only goodness and brightness for us.

May this day bring us together in triumph and trial.

May this day bring us both God’s Word.

May this day be full of Jesus’s righteousness.

May our day blossom with heavenly blessings.

May we find health and peace in your grace this day.

In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. I love you darling!

Good night prayer for couples – (A meaningful request asking God’s help in sorting out marital troubles) 

Dear Lord, we kneel before you today, begging for you mercy, so that through your divine intervention we may find the wisdom and the strength:

To be patient with each other.

To forgive each other.

To focus on your blessing that have entered our lives through each other.

Dear Lord, lately we have been arguing a lot. There are times when our anger, doubts and silence takes over our better sense and our love for each other. Small problems turn into fights and the important things get ignored. We know not when we stopped listening to each other and talking to each other.

But, you know all and see all. You know the source of all our problems and you know about the weakness and the negativity in our mind that is breeding contempt. Please Lord, I beg you to restore health back to our relationship. May we find our way back to each other.

Please teach us to communicate with each other again, honestly and lovingly as we once did. For your word tells us honor each other and to submit to each other in love. We need your help God to obey your word. Please help us to come back together, so that we may once again stand united in the joys and sorrows of life, with You on our side always. Amen!

And Before You Go, Just One More Thing…

If devotion is not already a tradition in your family, you may feel alone and even awkward at first when starting this daily routine of praying for your loved ones. Depending on the spiritual/religious bent of your loved ones, you may/may not find support.

But, there is really no need to force or fight for the good. Your biggest strength lies in your decision to submit to God’s will.

So, simply pray that your family/love/spouse also identify themselves/himself/herself in Christ. Ask and He shall create in their heart the desire to join hands with you in paying obeisance to our heavenly Father. Amen!
