The prayer that we pray should be the one that comes straight from our hearts. Prayer shouldn’t be a job or a planned out speech. The prayer that God tells us we should pray is the Lords prayer. “Our Father in heaven hallowed be your name your kingdom come your will be done as earth as it is in heaven…” this prayer summarizes the main things that we should pray for, like telling God he is awesome, asking to provide, to forgive sins, and to prevent you from sinning, and that you will love God for ever and ever. God doesn’t look at how good a prayer is, he doesn’t judge by quantity either. A short prayer can be just as, if not, more meaningful as a large one. God looks at the thought and meaning of the prayer. A prayer that comes straight from the heart is what God appreciates.

We need to pray for different things in life. God tells us what to pray for and what not to. 

He tells us to pray for everything that we need, spiritually and physically. We can pray to God for almost anything except for absurd wants. God tells us to pray to no one else but Him. When we pray God wants us to acknowledge to him our needs and misery, hiding nothing, he wants us to pray for everything on our minds coming from our hearts. We don’t need to worry about our prayers being heard because Christ our Lord promises that they will be heard in his word.

India is a country that is blessed with several castes, creeds, sects and religions in India. We profess different religions. There are Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, Buddhists, Jain and Parsis. All religions tech us to pray God. Irrespective of our religions, we pray to God, but we pray to God in different ways, at different places and at different times. All regions tell us that we must pray to god, but what is the necessity of praying to God?

God is very kind. He showers His blessing squally on all, whether we pray  or do not pray to Him. He has gifted us many things free of cost. He is a great forgiver. He does not punish us for our sins. He forgives our sins committed knowingly. We must remember him and Pray to Him to express our thanks.

We must pray to God because God has bestowed us with all the gifts, we possess. We must pray and thank Him for all those favours. She has given us innumerable gifts- our life, our beautiful earth, the sun, the moon and the starts. All are the Wonderful gifts given by God. Prayer is a must to thank and to show our gratitude to god for all the gifts He has bestowed upon us.

Prayer also helps us to face problems in life. Life is full of problems and troubles. It is not smooth sailing. There is a lot of pain, sorrows and sufferings in life. We seek God’s help to overcome these problems and troubles. Prayer gives us this help and moral support to face our problems.

Man is a weak and helpless being. He cannot do anything of his own. He loses courage and gives up everything. He loses peace of mind at every step. An accident, sickness or deaths of some beloved are the example of helplessness of men. On all such occasions he has to take the help of prayer, because it boosts up his confidence.

Prayer is like talking to god as a close friend or loving father. When we pray to god, we fell as if god is present with us. We can talk to Him and place our problems before Him. We beg Him for His blessings. When God is with us, who can cause any harm to us? Prayer means trust in God. It gives us courage and confidence. Prayer binds us with God and brings us nearer to Him.

Prayer is a must because; it gives us strength and courage to face our life problems. It gives us peace of mind, comfort and consolation. Prayer to God is also necessary because, it has magic power. Problems which cannot be solved otherwise , find easy solution in prayer. Such problems get solved automatically by themselves with the magi power of prayer. Disease which are inculpable and cannot be cured with the help of medicines, vanish completely with the magic power of prayer. If we pray earnestly and honestly, God is king enough to shower his blessings. Prayer is the most powerful weapon we can depend upon.

God is present everywhere. There is no place where he is not present. He can come to our aid anywhere we are. Prayer helps us to remember this truth. It removes all unnecessary fears for our minds. It is the prayer that tells us the God   is omnipresent. He must come to our rescue, whenever we are caught in some trouble. We seek his help from the core of our hearts by prayer.

Prayer is necessary to keep us on the right path, away from the evil ways. If we follow evil ways, we shall go away from God. We shall not be able to communicate with God. We cannot pray to God in the right earnest. God knows everything. We cannot hide anything from Him. He knows even out inner most thoughts. We cannot bluff Him. God listens to the prayer of only those who are good and noble. We need God’s blessings and help at every moment. So we must not be wicked or evil, we must remain good and holy.

Prayer is a must for everyone. We cannot do anything without prayer. It is the most useful means, because more wonderful things can be wrought by prayer than a man can dream of. Prayer is a powerful weapon.

The Artist 

The Artist is a short story composed by the Japanese writer Shiga Naoya. This story expresses the traditional look of teachers and guardians towards the students. The teacher and the guardians think that spending time on things other than studies is only the wastage of time. In this story, Seibi is a twelve years old school going boy. He is keenly interested in polishing gourds. He tried to involve him in polishing gourds whenever he got time. His father did not like it. He told Seibi to sing Namiwabushi ballads. But Seibi tried to continue his hobby in spite of his father's open dislike. When he got time he went to the market and collected gourds of different sizes. One day he bought a five inch gourd from an old woman. This particular gourd appealed him very much. He took it to school and began to polishing it under his desk. 

One day he was caught red handed by the ethics teacher. The teacher became very angry with Seibi for neglecting his studies and playing with gourds. The teacher took the gourd with him and following Seibi to his home. The father and mother of Seibi scolded him and broke all the gourds. They told Seibi not to do again. Thus, we see that the teacher and the parents did not care for the interest of the child. This is an injustice to children.

A Child is Born

'A Child is Born' is an extract from the book 'Sex and Destiny: The Politics of Human Fertility'. This book has been written by a famous feminist writer of Australia, Germaine Greer. In this essay, she has thoroughly examined the cultural peculiarities of the East and the West regarding child birth and parent-child relationship. 

An expecting woman has to go to her mother's house to get delivered of her child. She has to stay there for at least three months. When the child is seven days old, a new dress is brought both for the child and his mother. This practice increases the sense of security of an expectant mother and removes all the worries associated with child-birth. These ways are collectively and culturally accepted ones. No doubt, modern methods have reduced the mortality of mothers during child birth but they have deprived them of the important experience of child-birth. The whole process has become mechanical. Child-birth, no longer remains a family affair and an object of neighbourhood celebration.

Correct option is A) hold back
