Do mid-night prayers work more than any other time?
more_vert
For me it does not really what time you pray as long as it comes from heart.

Not at all, it's just a misconception about prayer and which time of the day it's effective the most. Prayer said at any time of the day can be answered by God. Prayer does not have specific time for it to be effective, neither does God designate particular time for him to hearken to our prayers. As long a prayer is said with utmost sincerity and believing that it has already be answered before saying it, the prayer must get to God, and if it does, it must be answered.
More seriously, the God we serve which we also pray to, is not a God that sleep nor slumber. If it were to be God is only active at night, that's when it would've been He only answer prayers during such hours.
I actually know where this misconception is stemming from, because it is believed that during night times is when witches and wizards gather in their covens. But that does not mean that's when God can accept prayers targeted to disrupt their diabolic activities.

I would not say yes or no, because prayers is prayers, whether you pray at night, during the day, while driving, while in the office doing your work, it is just prayers.

But what i love with mid night prayers is that, at that time many people are asleep, there is no so much noise, so when you are praying you feel the quietness of the environment and that way its very easy to even feel the presence of the LORD around you. You feel more connected with GOD and you feel the breakthrough of you prayers.

When people are rolling around in their beds you are there seeking the face of GOD also shows that you value GOD more than even your own life and that is what GOD is interested in. It is important to always be prayerful not only in mid night but always. Lets be people who are always grateful to GOD, people who are consistently seeking GOD.

Okay it doesn't matter what time you pray, God will acknowledge your prayers. Because it's the thought that counts. When you are praying, you know what it is your praying about, and we have different kinds of prayers. We have asking prayers, healing prayers and warfare. So for me i feel all the other prayers are okay to pray during the day, but when it comes to warfare prayers it is better to do them at night. We are told that the devil watches our every move, he waits for every opportunity to get hold of people who are vulnerable, and at night between 12 midnight and 3am in the morning, that is when he is most active. So when you are praying in thr spirit, and you are binding spirits what better time to do it than during the day. It is at this time when there are no distractions, or any kind of interruptions, so it's easier to pray.

The purity of your heart counts when it comes to prayer not necessarily the time of the day. After all the Bible says pray without ceasing which means prayer should be a continuous process. A prayer from a pure heart connects higher faster than one from an evil minded person.

Prayer will work any time you participate in it as long as you take some necessary precautions such as praying in a quiet environment so that you will not be interfered when spending quality time with God and taking time to pray and not rushing through our prayers to accomplish other tasks so that it can be done properly.

I guess this has been made a phrase and I think this is because this is when the mind is fresh and much concentration. But for me any time of the day works so long as you give all the required refeverence to God.

A prayer can be done anytime as long as you are prepared to talk to Him. The time you are in need of Him and you should do it more than one time daily. Be faithful while praying so that your wishes will be more fulfilled

Doesn't matter because God works overtime without charging interest. He is always there, watching and listening. Actually He never leave your side, all you have to do is talk to him:)If God will take care of the birds, certainly He will take care of me too. Matthew 6:26

I don't think God answers prayers according to time nor season but he commanded we pray without ceasing and at all times so I don't think midnight prayers work more than any other times.

It does not matter what time of the day you pray. What’s important is your strong faith and sincerity in praying wherever you are and whatever time of the day.

The reason why many people believe mid night prayers work more is because during that hour of the night every where is calm and quiet free from distractions and you will be focus.

The effectiveness of prayer is not determined by the time of day. Whether a prayer is said at midnight or any other time, it is up to God to decide whether or not to answer it. Prayer is an act of faith and trust in God, and it is ultimately up to Him to answer it in the way He deems best.:D

There are many factors to consider. Some factors that may reduce the effectiveness of mid night prayers include the time of day as well as the person prayed for.

Night prayers are said to be ideal for requesting God to bless us and it is believed that He is more likely to listen at night than day time.

Although it is suggested that the prayers near to 3am something has something to do with spirituality, but I think all that matters is to pray with your heart and connect with God that's the most appropriate thing.

Most at times why midnight prayers are required to be most answered is because you do so with fear and because of that they do it from his or her heart.
