Why do you pray?<br \/>\nSome people pray for their wants.<br \/>\nOthers pray for their needs.<br \/>\nSome pray for others, or themselves.<br \/>\nSome pray for comfort.<br \/>\nOthers pray for courage.<br \/>\nMany pray for understanding and guidance.<br \/>\nLots of people pray so they can discover their purpose in life.<br \/>\nPeople pray when they are scared, lonely, and confused.<br \/>\nPeople pray when they are happy, excited, and at peace.<br \/>\nSome people think of their life as an active prayer.<\/p>\n<p>What is prayer? I believe it is our connection to God. Our communication with our creator. Whether it is silent, contemplative, or medatative or in song, music, or speaking out loud. Every time you pray you enter into that relationship with God. You say to God, I trust you with this, my life etc, you ask for help, you seek guidance, you believe that God is listening, and you give God your time, presence, and love.<\/p>\n<p>Why pray? I think the answer varies from moment to moment for each person. Overall, the reason is to put your trust, love, and life into the hands of the one who created and loves you more than anyone else ever could.<br \/>\nToday, pray!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why pray?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":18033,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[38],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18032"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18032"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18032\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18033"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18032"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18032"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18032"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
