good day fellow mylotters,
i just like to share something regarding to one of the particular sites that i am working on. wherein, i was really receiving high in terms of earnings. as a result, i have allotted my time working on to that site alone. and i even don't find a time to pray at least before going on to bed to sleep. since, i was already tired after working. although i say thank you to God, but, it is not enough. hence, my time was really occupied with that particular earning site. as a result, one day i found out, that site where i used to devote my time and the reason why i was not able to say at least an hour of prayer, was already gone. my account to them was gone. i cannot logged on to my account since it was suspended for unknown reason. it just suddenly happened.
that on the next day, i have asked God thru my prayer, why my account on that site was suddenly all gone. that after that short prayer, He made me realize, when i have that site, i don't have any single time to say a short prayer. not even i allot an hour of prayer for Him. although i say thank you after a day's work, hence, it is not enough. God made me realized that prayer is really important. hence, God is not requiring us a whole day prayer, what He is just requesting is only at least an hour and yet we cannot do that.
and now, i have changed my ways, as everyday, i say at least an hour of prayer and talking to God heart to heart.

Wow, The Bible even tells us about prayer. Infact the Bible says pray without seesing. God wants us to have a relationship with Him and praying is part of that.

indeed buttercupken,
that even how occupied our time is, we should really spend an hour to God. hence, all of the things we have came from God. and we should really acknowledge God in every bits of our life.

Hi aira,
Sorry to hear about your suspended account my friend. Yes you are right, We should spend some of our time with God. I may not pray for 1 hour, but i surely say my prayers everyday and reflect on the things that happened to me, and all things that i want to happen. These days, people are so busy with their life. They cannot give time for prayers. Actually we can pray anytime we want at any circumstances. Make it a good habit.

Nice sharing and you are right at least one hour we should do the prayer but if it not possible at least half an hour should spend for prayer. But some people even not spend 5 mintues for God they always busy only earning the money.

I am sorry to say so but do you really think god is interested in your commercial prayers? You pray for a site with income?
Don't you think it's hard work that should be rewarded? Not just sitting their and praying to get it the easy way?

Always be thankful for what you have and put God first in all you do. You always made excuses for not praying and became obssesed on making money, so he took it all away.

if we really believe that god exist and if we really believe in religion,then we should pray and thank god for sometimes for a day. If we believe in god,we can achieve whatever we want. We should have that feel that everything is happening because of god and we should always finds time to thank him.

Hey sheila, that was a good experience. yes indeed, prayer is a very important thing for someone to do. We shouldn't forget the fact hat, god has created us and just for the sake of living our life a little better, we shouldn't forget god. I guess, if you had prayed to god, inspite of being tired and inspite of being worked the whole day before sleep would have not ended up with the suspension of the account. God would have surely helped you more.
Cheers!
