The Power of Prayer COMMON GROUND Fr. Ireneusz Ekiert, Mary Help of Christians Church There are many different ways of praying: praise, intercession, thanksgiving, and contrition. In my own spiritual life I’m very good at intercession, asking God for things. I’m that kind of person who believes God is involved in the small things as well as the big. People ask me all the time to pray for them, so my list of asking God for something is a very long one. In terms of thanksgiving, I got much better – thanking God when what I pray for comes through and especially, when they don’t. Contrition, I certainly need that and try to do it. Praise though, did not come to me naturally. It’s not that I did not do it, it just did not feel comfortable. It didn’t feel like my kind of prayer. So, I had to examine my own conscience and ask why it is difficult for me to praise God. What I came to understand is, it was difficult for me to praise others. Growing up, I thought that praising others took something away from me, that I did not work hard enough or that I was not good enough. I felt disappointed, angry, and jealous. With time, I got beyond that and realized that praising other people was good for me; praise is one of the forms of prayer that gets us nothing in return. That’s good because it teaches us giving instead of just receiving. From that moment on, I could become more honest with myself and with God. The real power of prayer is that, in all of its forms, it helps us to examine ourselves, to live with integrity, and not be selfish or self-centered. Prayer transforms us, takes us out of ourselves, and helps us to realize that we are not the center of the universe. Prayer teaches us to be honest in our relationship with God, with others, and with ourselves. P by Jason Hatley, lead pastor The Journey Church in Boca Raton. www.BocaJourney.com In 1952, on the campus of Princeton University, Albert Einstein was asked by a doctoral student, “What is left for us to do original research on? If we want to do an original dissertation, what can we do?” Einstein thought for a minute, and said, “Prayer. Someone has to find out about prayer.” Einstein’s recommendation has perhaps never been more timely. With the uncertainty we see in our world, the unrest we see in our nation, and the unthinkable horror we have witnessed in our own community, many have turned to prayer for comfort, hope, and healing. But why? What compels a mother to pray when her child is diagnosed with cancer? Or a man to pray when his marriage is falling apart? What is it about prayer that brings peace to our lives when the world seems to be falling down around us? The answer lies not so much in what prayer “gets us,” but in how prayer “changes us.” Soren Kierkegaard, the philosopher and theologian wrote, “Prayer does not change God, but it changes him who prays.” And that is the real power of prayer – it changes us in two powerful ways. First, prayer proves to us that God exists. When you pray you’re saying, “God I believe in you. I believe in something bigger than myself.” As a pastor, I’ve heard people tell me, “I’m an atheist, and prayer is a waste of time.” But when things go wrong or tragedy hits, almost everyone – even those who deny God exists – calls out to God in prayer. A 2016 study revealed that 9 out of 10 Americans have prayed for healing at some point in their lives – either for themselves or someone else. Prayer brings peace to our lives because it reminds us God is real, and though our world seems out of control, God is still in control. Second, prayer connects you with God. In the Old Testament book of Jeremiah, God said, “Call to me and I will answer you.” Prayer is the primary way to connect with God. It’s in connecting with God that we learn to trust Him with the most difficult challenges of life. It’s through prayer that God exchanges our troubles with His peace. The great Apostle Paul wrote, “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand.” (Philippians 4:6-7) In the world we live in, it’s hard to imagine not worrying about anything. But as author and pastor Rick Warren said, “You can pray or you can panic.” God’s peace comes when we lay down our worries and start trusting Him to bring us through what we’re going through.
