Back to Basics: Prayer

Feel like your life as a Christian is dragging? Not quite feeling the fire like you used to? What’s helped me in the past is to get back to basics and get my prayer life back in order. I’ve often told my small group, “If I really think about it, the times things aren’t going right for me is when my prayer life is out of whack.” So true! I wish I’d remember that more often!

Prayer is one of the greatest gifts God has given us. Think about it: a way we can communicate with the creator of the universe. And not only does He want to talk to us, He wants to answer our prayers as well if we prayer according to His will. Not that we have to prayer for spiritual things only. God knows that we need things to get by (food, clothing shelter, etc), but we need to make sure the spiritual needs are at the forefront. God isn’t some cosmic wish granter

So, try to keep God at the forefront. As with any relationship, communication is key, and it will help you more than you can imagine.

For His glory.
