The essential guide to praying.

The most common problem with praying is that God never seems to listen to our prayers. It has never happened to me that I am kneeling before God and he suddenly appears before me saying, "Peter, your prayers made me cry! Your one wish will be granted for your devotion, son. Name one!”  So, why is this happening to us? Is this something we are designed to do? Failing in prayers? I don’t think our religious fathers invented praying just for the sake of ‘fooling’ us into believing God exists.

There must be a way of convincing God! I pursued and studied some of the old archives in the Vatican library like Robert Langdon and found a mankind changing, path-breaking way of praying to God. I haven’t tried it myself, but I wanna share this with you so that you can waste your time trying it and then you can tell me if it works or not. You see, it’s still in its ‘beta’ stage.

Finding #1:
When you pray, your position matters a lot. The most common problem with us praying is that we kneel and pray. Now tell me, how many people kneel and pray? Almost everybody. If I was God and I was seeing all these humans kneeling before me, all in the same pose, I would be confused. I would be confused to choose whom to listen to. After all, I am just God, I am not God!!
So God is looking for people who have a different style of praying. Lying down on the stomach and praying is a way of satisfying God. It physically says, “God, I am so tired, please listen to my prayer!”  The next time you got to the church, eagle-spread yourself on the floor. Who cares about the onlookers?! Once your prayers are answered, you are gonna be a millionaire! 
 
Finding #2:
Keywords. Most of the time, God can’t just understand what you are praying for. So before you start your prayer, write down some important keywords of your request. Think like you are Googling a particular brand of vodka. If you want the best results to be shown to you, you have to type the particular brand name of the vodka. Typing ‘vodka’ isn’t going to help!
The same thing applies to God! He can’t just give you ‘vodka’! You have to ask him a particular brand of vodka. A particular number of vodka bottles! And so on. You shouldn’t expect God to shower you with vodka, when you say ‘vodka’. Dude, there are a billion more people asking for vodka at the same time!

Finding #3:
The language in which you pray is very important. You can’t just blabber to God in a language he hasn’t heard of! English is the language that God uses when dealing with transactions. That explains why the Afghans never got their wish of ruling the world! Take that, Osama!
Mind the grammatical mistakes too. God is very particular of granting wishes for only those who can speak impeccable English. Trust me, my wishes never comes true. Sob!

Finding #4:
Start by asking small things. Most people just jump to one million in their first prayer! How is God gonna give a million to you in your first prayer?! You need to climb the ladder to ‘intelligent’ praying. Start with the first step. Like pray for, “God, please give me a dollar!” You will be amazed at how quickly God will listen to you, even if it’s through your parent’s pockets. Outsourcing. Then you can climb to two dollars and ten dollars. If you keep the rate going, you will reach a million dollar one day! It’s another whole thing if you are dead by the time you reach the figure. Ask Zuckerberg. He has been praying from the time he was born. He started from a dollar. He has reached a billion, you see?!

So try making these changes to your prayer today! Mark my words, God will come to you and grant your wishes!! By the way, can you ask God to drop-by my room today? I need a new toothbrush.
