God does not listen as if he were distracted by other things that are going on around Him; He listens totally.

It means trusting God to show us what He wants us to do, how He wants us to live, and who He wants us to be. Prayer teaches us humility because it exposes our weaknesses and shows us how much we need God’s help in any situation. You gain a new perspective about life and its challenges, which makes them easier to overcome or accept than before praying regularly (especially when it comes to things that can’t be changed).Prayer is a two-way conversation with God . We hear this so often that we often miss its simplicity. You listen (the best part)—and you know you are being listened to (also the best part). Praying women are blessed with health and strength to do their work well. Praying women are able to meet the needs of others, especially those in need of help, comfort, and guidance through difficult times or decision-making processes that involve risk-taking or risk avoidance.

Dear Lord, I have so many things I’m worried about bombarding my brain . I am so tired from worrying about all of these things. I’m not going to hold them anymore. I cast them on You, knowing You are fully capable of catching them. You carefully hold me, my loved ones, my dreams, and anything else I take care of and love in Your hands. You are infinitely wise, resourceful, powerful, and loving. You can take care of me and everything I care about. Thank You, Lord! In Jesus’ name, amen. Dawson Trotman’s words beautifully capture why journaling is a vital part of so many people’s spiritual journeys. Philippians 4:6 - Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.The Bible says that “prayer is the key of David which opens, and no man can shut it; and in its course is life, and in its continuance is righteousness” (Isaiah 22:22). Pray like you. God created you to communicate in a unique way. Don’t get caught up trying to say the “right” things, using “fancy” Christian terms, or praying like someone else. Prayer is meant to be a personal conversation with God—like you would have with friends, family, or a mentor. Let go of how you think you should pray and just pray like you. Prayers for Strength The Psalms, a book of prayers from the Old Testament, can model honesty and help you find your voice in prayer.

The woman who prays is not only more likely to be saved, she is more likely to be a wise woman. She puts her trust in God and does not worry about the future. People often say that prayer is just talking to God as you would to anyone else. It’s true that a relationship with God contains many of the same ingredients as other relationships. But there is at least one unique factor: you can’t rely on the senses of sight, sound or touch to connect with God. What’s on your mind matters to God, because you matter to Him. As you develop the habit of praying, you will gain a sense of what God is talking to you about and what He thinks is worth your attention. In the beginning, try not to get too hung up on what you should be praying about. God has all the time in the world, and He’s far more patient with us than we are with ourselves.

What that means is, don’t make it a long grocery list of trivial requests. Keep it genuine and simple. If you feel like you need direction, ask God for help. If your health is on the decline, ask God for healing. Holy Lord, Thank You for grace. Please help me move beyond the hurdles that trip me up and give me the strength and wisdom to look up and see the hope I run toward in Christ. In Jesus’ Name, Amen. ~ Gwen Smith Some people speak to God as if they were catching up with a friend, telling him about their exploits throughout the day.

Ask if you can pray together. While time alone with God is vital for spiritual growth, God Himself says that when two or more gather to focus on Him, something special happens (Matthew 18:20).

God, I have experienced great loss , and it’s hard to imagine ever feeling joy or peace again. Please let the amazing power of hope in You shine through my circumstances and let me feel the love of Jesus right now. When I’m hopeless, fill me up with hope. When I’m depressed, remind me of one thing to be thankful, even joyful, about. When I’m in despair, remind me that Jesus rose from the grave, bringing hope and defeating death. He has the victory and in that victory, I have hope. In Jesus’ name, amen. Prayer is a supernatural activity. It’s talking with a God who is unlike anyone else. He has a personality and qualities you can understand and relate to, but you cannot expect to relate to God in exactly the way you might to a close friend or family member. He’s so much bigger and more incredible than that. See how they prayed (verse 29)! They didn’t pray, ‘Grant that we may be kept safe’ – ‘Grant that Peter and John may be protected’ – ‘Lord, don’t let it happen again!’ – but they prayed, ‘Lord, help us to get on with the job of proclaiming the gospel!’ In a praying church this will be the overwhelming desire of the members. Does this mark characterise your church? Is there a constant effort being made, not to organise, but to evangelise? – to get souls born again into the family of God? Carrying it out is not only highly spiritual, but connects each Muslim to all others around the world, and to all those who have uttered the same words and made the same movements at different times in Islamic history.
