If you go to the equatorial forest of Africa, you will find the simple natives praying, though they are uneducated. The Muslims stretch prayer mats and speak to God. The Christian go to church and pray. The Hindus go to the temple and ring the bell to tell God that they have come to speak to Him. Prayer is a necessary element in all religion.

Praying is an act by which a person lifts up his mind heart God. When we pray we acknowledge before God that we are poor, small creatures depending upon Him. There are two kinds of prayers, community prayer and personal prayer. When we pray in a group, family, class, temple, Masque, church or gurudwaras then it is known ass community praying. When an individual prayer is alone then it is called personal praying. Prayer should rise from the heart. If the heart does not pray, it is useless for the mouth to utter the words.

*The time of praying is not important

When should we pray? There is no fixed time to pray. We pray to adore God, to thank him, to ask forgiveness or to ask for a favor. In a way, our heart should always be praying to God. It is not necessary to keep our attention focused on God. It is, however, useful to have certain moments of the day for loving personal prayer. The time can be in the morning when we rise, when we began an important task or at the close of day.

*The language used for praying is not important

We should remember that God is not concerned with how beautiful our language is. He is not concerned with excellent phrases. He does not care for the sweet melodies with which we sing our prayer. It is not important to use some particulars words for praying. God welcomes the prayer that is sincere and from the heart.
