In hard times, trials or depression we need to be strong specially in keeping our faith and trust in God through prayers.
Sometimes we are hopeless about what’s happening in our life. Why can’t we not be lucky like others. Why do we have problems? Why do we encounter difficulties?
It is hard to believe or handle any situation but with faith there is an answer and you have hope.
What is the content of our prayer? As I listened to a recent homily of Father Dominique Mukonda Kananga, there are important things we need to remember when we pray.
We need to be humble. In prayers we thank God and be grateful for all his blessings. We have his gifts, his graces and what we have today. We have food, work and we can buy what we want. We are alive and God is protecting us and for this we should be thankful.
In prayers we also need to ask God’s blessing, because with God’s blessing our life is meaningful.
We need to remember that we are sinners and we should be humble in the presence of the Lord. We remember God’s forgiveness when we do thngs we shouldn’t do. Through prayers we are guided in our daily lives.
