Prayer is the life of the soul. Just as our bodies need nourishment, so too, our souls, that hunger for God, need to be nourished with prayer. Much of the stress that many people experience nowadays comes from the fact that they neglect to nourish their souls.

Prayer...nourishment for the soul

Surely, a lot of the anxiety that people experience in their busy lives could be alleviated if they gave some time to prayer and the search for God. Prayer essentially, is a dialogue with God, speaking to Him who created and loves us, and listening to what He is trying to say to us. Here we just want to suggest a few different methods of prayer that we feel are well suited to those with busy lives. Prayer is a relationship, so it is different for everyone.

“One does not pray only when one has the time. One makes time for the Lord”. It is important that when we come to pray we give the Lord “quality time”. Our prayer is a relationship, so we need to work on it. We are human and prone to distractions, so we should avail of supports to prayer that are available.

You should always begin with a little prayer to the Holy Spirit, to help you to be open to His inspirations. Scripture says, “The Spirit comes to help us in our weakness. For when we cannot choose words in order to pray properly, the Spirit himself expresses our plea in a way that could never be put into words.”
