A while back I wrote an article on Ezine Articles that I titled "One Life to Live..." I mentioned that many people don't value their lives, thus they go through life thinking less of themselves; or better yet, they live off other's opinion of them, which may not be complimentary.
Regardless of what your current situation might be, your life is worth everything to you, and to those that love you. You might be presently out of a job; perhaps you just broke up with someone; or you recently lost a loved one, and the pain is unbearable. The thought of giving up your life will not resolve anything for you; and in fact, you will bring more pain and sorrow to your family, than whatever benefit you can possible derive from such act.
Here's where prayer comes to work for you. Praying places you in a state of mind so that you can work your way out of anything that you are facing right now. Everything has a solution (within our control), and we have all faced bad situations in our lives; but praying has always, and I say, has always brought me out of the worst of bad situations. The reason is that God is being beckoned through prayer to hear your 'legitimate urgency,' and being His children He cannot refuse.
Make prayer a daily routine as a means to thank God for His goodness; and to take care of your needs and that of your loved ones. No prayer is too small, nor too big for Him to hear and to respond to. However, what I have found over the years that works for me is to stay in touch with God on a regular basis, rather than on emergencies only. This way you will feel more comfortable when asking Him to help you out. Praying daily will become second-nature to you in time; and you will come to appreciate the love of God for your life.
Please go to Ezine Articles on this page and check-out my new article titled "Prayer and Holy Water—The Reason and the Force Behind Them." Maybe you will experience a new perspective on the merits of both elements, which are available to us to be used at our liberty.
