Did You Pray First?

“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”—2 Chronicles 7:14

    3 Times Prayer Is Not Pleasing to God by Dalton Blankenship

    Prayer is a daily, sometimes minute-by-minute, connection between Jesus and us. Prayer is the way we talk, plead, praise, and give thanks to Jesus.

    Like an ongoing conversation between close friends, prayer can be intimate or seemingly superficial — jumping in minutes from a lighthearted account of everyday blessings and frustrations to an in-depth commentary on our deepest fears and needs.

    At other times, prayer is silent. When we don’t have the words to explain our emotions, we can trust the Holy Spirit to communicate what words can’t (Romans 8:26). The same way a good friend will hold our hand and embrace the silence, or lend us a shoulder to cry on, we can sit in God’s presence and say all we need to say without speaking a word.

  • How to Make a Prayer List

    November 3, 2021 /

    I posted several articles on some ideas about outlines for prayer lists, topics to include, etc. But what I wanted to talk about to day is how I’ve adjusted my prayer list over the years to become more efficient and inclusive.

    First of all, don’t be afraid to be organized. I remember people telling me that they don’t have a list, they just let God tell them what and who to pray for. Well, that’s not His job. Sure He’ll burden you with things that you should add, but the content of your daily pray is something you need to compile and maintain.
