Repetition can make things perfect; doing the same thing over and over again can soon make things flawless if all variables remain the same. We’re told to strive toward perfection: but not so fast. Repetition for perfection has a negative side also so we’ve got to be careful.
Learning something so well that you can do it in your sleep weakens you or can gives you a false sense of confidence. Not to have too concentrate leaves your mind to drift. When you’ve done something for so long that you don’t have to concentrate about it, you weaken what you’re doing perfect or not, because if your mind drifts you become valuable to unrelated thoughts. Things creep into your mind that has a tendency to distract and your repetition for perfection can become flawed even though you’ve the ability to correct it if the case presents itself.
We all can say our A B C’s, and we all can say them while we’re doing something else, but can you say them backward the same way you say them forward, or at all. You’d need total concentration for that task, now my point.
Prayer is the same way. Repetitive prayer saying the same thing the same way opens doors for the adversary/Satan to weaken it by filling your mind with thoughts as you pray that’s not about what you’re praying, drifting, influx of unrelated thoughts, surroundings taunting you, how much power do you think that can produce, very little. Those prayers power needle are in need of a surge.
Total concentration involves every cell in your body and the full power generated when all systems are working perfectly are the desired results, and will have absolute power with nothing diluted.
Think about that the next time you wear your headset while doing your job, and think about it when praying the same song the same way and stuff comes into your head like what are you going to do about this, about that, or about the other thing while into your repetitive prayer. Was it good, was it bad, did it have power, or was it week, or don’t you pray at all but say you do.
