"The Perfect Prayer"

I do remember, as a child my mother taught me to pray as “Dear God give me intellect, make me strong and teach me well". I used to recite the word as she says folding both the hands in front of God. This prayer continued for almost a very long while. Meantime there were a lot of various ups and downs, a lot of people came and disappeared in my life, but each and every time, I had a strong faith to overcome those obstacles. Once the difficulty would finish off, then I would think back about it, and ask myself why such situation came to my life, why that had happened to me? Am I going wrong somewhere or missing something in my daily prayers. This use to happen many times and couldn't figure it out. As I grew up, there where little changes in my prayers and I use to say the prayers according to my needs and situations.

 

Then the time had come, where I was going to enter into my next phase of life. That’s before marriage once again my mother taught me to ask or say the prayers as “Dear God bless me with happiness, peace, wealth and good health". Know the difficulties and the severities of life were started getting troublesome and painful. At a certain point where I was scared and overloaded with clouds of hurdles. I use to sit still with my eyes closed to think whether the prayer is going right or wrong or do I forget anything. But ultimately my faith is so strong that I was able to overcome the situations. Now such situations were very often and I was not able to look back and think over it.

 

Now, at this moment there is no one to teach me. I have revealed myself what exactly I need to ask, I just stand still folding both the hands in front of God and say " Dear God become my Guru and show me the right path". But I know from inside my faith is very strong.
