Praise and prayers are not mere chants or rituals. If you think they are, then you cannot grow spiritually.

Does praise have value? Is it effective when done sincerely? Yes, and yes! 

How To Understand The Value Of Personal Prayer? 

Let's see a few examples. 

- Cornelius' prayers reached God as a memorial before Him.  

- Daniel's prayer was stopped by Satan on the way to God.

- Paul's worship shook walls, loosened chains and opened prison doors. 

- King Jehoshaphat's prayer with everyone in Israel brought them victory over their enemies.

There are many examples in scripture to understand the value of praise and prayers.

What's the common factor in all of these prayer efforts? Sincerity and faith. They were sincere, humble, and believed God would take care.

Our prayers will be effective when we value God's calling upon our lives.

Always think from God's perspective and not your own. That's when real change will begin. How to think from God's perspective? Give room for the Spirit of God to refresh and renew your thinking and feelings. 

Any moment, we will fly. Maranatha, Praise God, and Amen.
