Why early morning prayer

[Jason]

From my childhood i was thought that early morning prayer is a must. It is a peaceful time to seek God. Is it true ? What is your experience and how does the early morning prayer change our life

Yes it is peaceful and it sets the tone for your day and allows you sit back and see what God might have to say

That is wonderful to know, i am such a lazy bum i wake up at 7.30 am only. I sit and pray for 5 minutes and start my work

You know that praywer is just conversation with God and you can do it all day if you choose. God loves and wants to talk with you

I think one thing is that it sets the tone for the rest of the day. My day always seems to go better when I pray in the morning because I have sought God's face first and asked for wisdom and direction from him for whatever comes up during the day

I don't see that any particular time of day is inherently better for seeking God. Some people like to spend devotional time first thing, others like to do it before turning in for the night.

For myself I think it's more important that we spend time in prayer rather than necessarily when we do it. I'm more of an evening person so naturally tend to doing things later in the day. I would caution against letting devotional time become little more than giving God the dying embers of the day, effectively just giving over the scraps and potentially not even that if you've had a busy day. One advantage of morning prayer, assuming you're sufficiently coherent to actually do it (not always the case for me early in the morning) is that you never end up getting to the end of the day and being too tired to stay awake for it.

It's nice to hear you were all doing prayers in morning, but here ( in my area ) I never seen of my christian friends doing prayer in Morning, except on Sundays. I am learning that people do prayer everyday, but thought Christians do only on Sundays.

Oh no, Christians are told to pray without ceasing (not that we can do that of course).

Prayer are not just done by kneeling down or in Church alone. Prayer can be done in any place and any time. Nowadays i pray early in the morning everyday in home and when i need help i pray in my mind wherever i am
