FUNDAMENTALS OF PRAYER

CREATING A LIFESTYLE OF PRAYER

Prayer is most effective when it isn’t something we do every now and then, but when it’s a lifestyle we cultivate. To understand how to have a lifestyle of prayer, we can look at the example Jesus gave during His life on earth.

MARK 1:35 “Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where He prayed.”

HAVE A CERTAIN TIME

Jesus got up early in the morning to spend time with His Heavenly Father. Make a daily appointment with God — whether it’s first thing in the morning, at lunch, or in the evening — and faithfully keep it.

HAVE A CERTAIN PLACE

Jesus had a specific place He went to pray. Having a designated place to pray helps us remove distractions and frees us to worship and pray out loud.

HAVE A CERTAIN PLAN

When Jesus taught His disciples how to pray, He gave them a prayer outline. If you are looking for a plan, try 10 minutes of worship, 10 minutes of prayer, and 10 minutes of reading your Bible everyday as a starting point to practicing prayer. As we pray every day, our plans for our prayer time can vary, but it helps when we have a plan for connecting regularly with God.

HOW TO PRAY
