Increasing Prayer in Your Life

(Psalm 5:3; 69:13; Matthew 7:7; 26:41; Luke 18:1; John 16:24)

Prayer is just like talking to a friend. When you pray, share your heart with the Lord and listen with your heart to what He might impress upon you.

Set aside a time each day to focus on the Lord and communicate with Him. Ask the Holy Spirit to lead you in your prayers.

Pray to God anytime you are worried about something or someone.

Listen to praise or worship music that focuses on God and think about Him.

Thank God for all the blessings in your life.

Pray with other believers.

Read prayers aloud from the Psalms that you feel drawn to.

Read and pray Scripture.

Pray with your children or other family members on a regular basis. (At meals; before school, at bedtime, etc.)

Set the alarm on your phone or watch to pray for five minutes a few times a day.

Start a prayer journal listing your requests to the Lord. Mark and date when they get answered and what He did in response.

You may wish to express prayer or communication with God through writing, drawing, or other creative avenues. The point is to connect with Him.

He eagerly desires to meet with You!
