Impact Of Conducting Prayers For Humanity

By Dawn Williams


Prayers may be defined as talking to God while humanity may be defined as the act or the quality of being a human being. Therefore prayers for humanity may refer to talking to God about the well being of human beings. The prayer intention of the prayer is to enable people to coexist peacefully. There are several importance of conducting prayer for humanity. Some of the importance includes the following.

The first importance is that it offers us an opportunity to communicate to God so that he may grant us our wishes on earth. God is the creator of heaven and earth and all the things. He created human beings in his own image and likeness. The only way we can communicate to him is through prayer. The act of communicating with God in itself is of great importance. God gives us a platform where we may address him and share with him about our dreams and ambitions.

The Bible at Ephesians Chapter Number 6 verse 10 says that there are several battles and struggles which we are fighting here on Earth. The intention of the devil is to woe as to sin against God. He therefore engages us on several spiritual battles. These spiritual battles can only be fought by spiritual means. The prayer therefore provides the spiritual means of fighting these battles.

The Bible says that the struggle is not physical hence cannot be fought through physical means. The struggle is spiritual hence requires spiritual interventions. Prayer is significant in fighting such struggle. It calls for the power of God for us to be able to win the battle against Satan. Jesus taught people how to pray because of the significance of prayer in our lives. It also makes us to be close to God the creator.

Even when the Satan went to tempt him, he prayed to God to grant him with the wisdom to overcome the temptation. This showed that through prayer, God is capable of guiding and protecting us from any evil which Satan my plant against us. We should therefore also pray to God constantly in order for us to overcome the struggle here on Earth.

The other importance is that it prevents human beings from sinning. During the prayer, God sends Holy Spirit to guide us and to protect us from sinning. Some of the fruits of the Holy Spirit we experience after conducting such prayer include love, joy, kindness, peace, patience and faithfulness to God. These fruits of the Holy Spirit ensure that we live harmoniously amongst ourselves.

The other significance to talk about is the ability of knowing the wile of Gods in our life and being able to fulfill our destiny. Each and every one of us was created with a purpose to accomplish on earth. It is important that we realize the purpose of our creation so that we exploit our potentials to the fullest.

It is therefore necessary for us to set aside a special time to conducting prayers for humanity. This is because of its various importance as discussed. The place for conducting such prayer should be quite and free from any disturbance. We should have a prayer list where we list all our expectation while going before the Lord in prayer.
