PRAYERS 176 "One should recognise one's faults and pray to God. God alone can save him. God has declared that you pray and I will accept. " (Malf uza t, vol. 3, page 573) "Whichever sin is difficult to get rid off, should be targeted in the prayer. He will gain strength by the grace of God. " (Malf uza t, vol. 3, page 622) "It is not in one's own power to offer a prayer which absorbs God's blessings. It is not in one's own control to attain all the requisites and conditions for example concentration, trust, anguish of the heart and deep emotions for prayer. When such capability is attained by someone, by absorbing God’s grace, it achieves all these means and conditions which are the essence of the righteous deeds. " (Malf uza t, vol. 3, page 389) The Promised Messiah as’ s Prayer Routines The Promised Messiah as says: 1 "God has given me as much enthusiasm for prayer as there is turbulence in the sea.
