Peace is a very essential component of the bedrock for progress and success in life’s journey on earth, yet it is very scarce in our personal spaces.
The reason for this is not far fetched; our spaces are part and parcel of the turbulent world we live in. A continuous state of lack of peace is a waster in every sense.
The solution in my opinion and from life experience lies with you choosing to live a righteous life even against the odds of life asking for the grace of the Most High. With this foundation activated, I suggest the following;
Prayers: The prayers of a righteous one is powerful and effective. If you can set a particular timing for it on daily basis which is sustainable, it will be fine. The duration depends on your capability which you can gradually increase over time. Do not be in a hurry. It could be from few minutes to several hours. Prayers can also be engaged to fill vacuum spaces in our daily lives; that is times when you really don’t have productive things doing. Such times may be at night when sleep has not come or when you wake up before daybreak. Such prayers can be in form of meditations consisting of praises and requests, so you really don’t have to voice out in case it disturbs another person.
It is important to note that prayers is like transferring at least, part of life’s struggle into your closet, so don’t expect to pray without resistance. However it is a much easier way to deal with the turbulence of life if done in righteousness.
So when you experience difficulties in the process of prayers, calmly endure them because it is a lighter yoke than facing obstacles in real life. It is like taking vaccination instead of experiencing the real disease.
There are other benefits that come with endurance in prayers when done in righteousness. You are able to develop assets of virtues that make your journey in the real world easier. You are able to develop stamina, resilence, fortitude and patience which are indispensible tools if you will reach your ‘Eldorado’ (desired aspirations)
So when you encounter difficulties in the place of prayers, be glad because you have the opportunity for an easier method to gradually dismantle the obstacles of your life’s journey and further sharpen your skill or tools to deal with the remainder(remaining obstacles) in real life, so endure in prayers
Meditation style of prayers can help in developing these tools especially when done regularly over appreciable duration of time. The other suggestions listed below can be prayed about even if they are not attainable at the beginning.
Fulfilling Engagements: Make effort to engage your time productively on continuous basis. This may be as basic as regular house chores even when they are not your assigned roles or duties but will be beneficial to general wellbeing while you pray and work towards your desirable regular engagements. So instead of burdening your mind with worries from undesirable realities of your surroundings, engage the same mind productively and prayerfully. With this you feel less hurts within the mind, and you can actually go on to be a peace maker.
