People need to look at prayer with a deeper thought. Prayer is not just closing eyes, folding of hands and uttering words. It is defined as a solemn request for help or expression of thanks to God. Amazing Kids Private School and Academy is a spiritual environment that is imbued with prayer.

In the past years, people have been very devoted to prayers. There are many reasons why individuals pray. People pray to give thanks to the Lord, for protection, healing and seeking for guidance in life’s challenges. Furthermore, distinct people pray to various gods, but at Amazing Kids Private School and Academy only offers prayers to the living God. It is a norm to come together for prayer, whether it is the beginning of a lesson or the end or a school function they all resume and close with a word of prayer.

The bible encourages everyone to give thanks in every circumstance, no matter what ,and that can be justified in the book of first Thessalonians 5:18,”Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Jesus Christ”, people can give thanks by praying. A Christian life is not a walk in the park. Sometimes life may not go according to plan, but to those who believe in God he will never abandon.

Just as Jesus taught his disciples to seek God in prayer at Amazing Kids Private School and Academy learners are also taught the same precept. Teachers at Amazing Kids Private School and Academy try to shape the future of the learners by making prayer a lifestyle to the learners’ success at school and at home.

Prayer is used by Christians to seek guidance, thus teaching this practice cannot divert the fortitude from the most high. Psalm 107:27-28: “They reeled and staggered like drunken men; they were at the wits end .Then they cried out to the lord in their troubles, and he brought them out of their distress.” When King Solomon was enacted to be King he asked to be given wisdom. At Amazing Kids before commencing a lesson learners always pray to seek guidance, knowledge and understanding and this can be justified in the book of James 1:5 ,”If any of you seeks knowledge he should ask from God who gives generously without fault.”

In a nutshell, with prayer the Lord manifests his plans for our lives to live in harmony because everyone was created in his image and are one in him. Prayer has to be a Christian’s daily routine in a bid to give hope to face tomorrow.
