We cannot know exactly how human prayers, requests, aspirations reach the saints and the Lord God himself. This is not given to ordinary mortals, at least during life this question will definitely remain open for the majority. The only thing that remains is faith, which does not need knowledge. It is widely believed that prayers are conveyed to the saints by angels - God's messengers. It is thanks to them that there can be no confusion: the prayers of a particular person reach a certain saint. Usually, when his words are heard, the believer feels relief, peace, peace of mind.
The surest way to know that a prayer has been heard is to do it sincerely, with all your heart. Do not think about when all requests come true, be able to be patient and wait. It is believed that the most powerful prayer that immediately rises to the Lord is the one that is performed in a temple or a prayer place. This is due to the place itself and the number of people who simultaneously broadcast their faith and acceptance of the Lord God.
One thing is clear: there is no need to doubt that every prayer is answered. It is worth remembering at least the words of the holy matron of Moscow, who said to those praying: "I will see you, hear you and help you."
How many times a day should prayers be recited?
The morning and evening prayers are considered obligatory. The first one sets up for the coming day, in it you can express all your aspirations and requests. And the second, performed in the evening, expresses gratitude for the day lived. You should also read prayers before and after eating. Everything else is left to the discretion of the person. No one can force him to pray more often or, conversely, advise him to do it less often. After all, everything that concerns this issue should come from the heart and share the believer's own desires.
Some people's lives are permeated with prayer. They create it constantly, living hand in hand with God. Leaving the house, mentally asking for blessings for what has already been given from above. But you need to consciously come to such a thing. You cannot force yourself to live with prayer. If there is a desire to thank the Lord for something or to ask for something, you need to do a prayer. If it is not there, it is better not to do something through force. Prayer should not be a burden, this is the main thing.
