When Prayers Are Acknowledged....

Prayers, just like food or clothing, plays an important part in every person's life. Meditation or dedication of any sort is necessary for a healthy and happy lifestyle. 

Some people, that includes me too, have a few doubts regarding the statement written above. Why do we pray? What is the advantage in reading those chants? What part do they play in our lives? Well, the answer to these questions can be sorted out by answering the next question: What do we believe?

Not every person on this earth believes in the super power. But those who believe in it say that its always necessary to believe that there is a power, that supersedes every other form of energy around us. Its the power that rests inside us. All we need is to wake it up. We have absolutely no idea of our potentials. But it is said, that meditation and prayers are the triggers that can help us enlighten that energy, provide the adequate heat necessary to initiate our inner power. They are the push that help us start our engines.

Are our prayers acknowledged?

Well, if we talk in terms of GOD, He is quite busy sorting out which wishes must be fulfilled first. Of course He can't satisfy every one in one go, He has to set priorities, and plan His actions accordingly. Ring a bell??? Something we've been hearing since our child hood times, "Set your priorities, and plan your actions accordingly". Well its all in the prayers. Prayers and meditation do just one thing, they help us build a disciplined lifestyle and routine, its a good habit. It calms our mind, and readies us for the day's remaining tasks. We feel energized almost throughout the day, have positive thoughts, and negativity gets reduced. A belief generates inside us, telling us that we are ready for anything that is about to come in our way. Believe me, the prayers are acknowledged. Good things are always acknowledged. 

It sometime happens that we are unable to follow our routine, so we must remember that we're humans. Even GOD makes mistakes, the frequency is less though.

If GOD do exist, its like a girl you are trying to impress (Boys, pay attention). You give a smile every time you pass by her, occasionally say, "Hello :)". You keep doing this for sometime, and guess what, one day she also acknowledges you and returns with a smile, "Hi :)". You feel happy, don't you? Gives you a start.
On the other hand, you can follow the above procedure once or twice, and then give up, thinking that it won't work for you anymore.

Well, its just an example :P. Prayers are similar to that, although more powerful, and with a strong belief and efforts, they are fulfilled. Otherwise, they're just thoughts.
