Did you know you have a special power? It's called prayer! The Bible tells us that prayer is like a special connection to God, a way to talk to Him and receive all sorts of good things.
Think of prayer like breathing for your soul. It keeps you healthy and connected to God. When you pray, you can tell Him about anything - your worries, your dreams, even your mistakes
(feeling bad about something you did). Ellen White says,
“Prayer is the breath of the soul, the channel of all blessings. As, with a realization of the needs of humanity, with a feeling of self-loathing, the repentant soul offers its prayer, God sees
its struggles, watches its conflicts, and marks its sincerity. He has His finger upon its pulse, and He takes note of every throb. Not a feeling thrills it, not an emotion agitates it, not a
sorrow shades it, not a sin stains it, not a thought or purpose moves it, of which He is not cognizant. That soul was purchased at an infinite cost, and is loved with a devotion that is
unalterable....” The Review and Herald, October 30, 1900.
Here's the best part: God listens! He cares about everything that happens to you, big or small. He wants to help you through tough times and celebrate the good stuff too.
“The arm of Omnipotence is outstretched to guide us and lead us onward and still onward. Go forward, the Lord says; I understand the case, and I will send you help. Continue to pray. Have faith
in Me. It is for My name's glory that you ask, and you shall receive. I will be honored before those who are watching critically for your failure. They shall see the truth triumph gloriously.
“All things, whatsoever ye ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.” Review and Herald, October 30, 1900.
Remember Jesus when He came to this earth? In His humanity, He was in constant prayer! He needed strength and guidance from His Father just like we do. Jesus showed us that
prayer is important for everyone
Remember, prayer is your superpower. Use it to connect with God, and ask for help.
“The Christian is given the invitation to carry his burdens to God in prayer, and to fasten himself closely to Christ by the cords of living faith. The Lord authorizes us to pray, declaring that
He will hear the prayers of those who trust in His infinite power. He will be honored by those who draw nigh to Him, who faithfully do His service.” OHC 127
So, how can you use this superpower? Here are some tips:
1. Talk to God like you would a friend or family member. Be honest and open.
2. Pray anytime, anywhere. You don't need a fancy place or special words. Just talk from your heart.
3. Believe that God hears you and wants to help.
4. Don't give up! Sometimes answers take time, but keep talking to God.

Have learnt that i don't need special words or a fancy place to talk to my God. Just aword from my heart to my creator is received as my prayer.

All our possibilities is impossible with God because sometimes he takes time to answer our prayers in order to see our faith in him so my beloved brothers and sisters let's continue praying no need of giving up and accept him
