HOW OFTEN SHOULD I PRAY?
Share
You will hear teachings of praying 3 times a day or 7 times a day, the Bible says in
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18: “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus."
So there is really no right or wrong answer, but the more times we pray we come closer to God and leave our fears and worries with Him. So the more we pray, the more it is beneficial for our well-being. We can pray in our bed, pray at the kitchen table, pray in the car, pray at work, pray while walking, even pray in the bathroom. We have 24 hour 7 days a week access to our Father.
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." Philippians 4:6
The Lord's Prayer as an example of how we should pray (Matthew 6 & Luke 11)
"Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done;
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from the evil one.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power and the glory,
for ever and ever. Amen."
