HOW TO SPICE UP YOUR PRAYER LIFE
Whenever we are having our regular morning praying, my little boy sleeps all through. He is usually very active when he wakes up in the morning and super-active after the morning devotion, but he is in dreamland during the devotion. Some of us adults can find prayer boring too. Usually it is because we don't know what to say or we don’t know where to start from or how to say what we want without being selfish or too demanding.
Prayer is a means of communication between us and our
Heavenly Father. Also it can be seen as a means to communicate with a friend
that has always been there for us and will always be there for us. When we talk
to our best friends, we can talk for hours non-stop but when communicating with
God; it is one of the longest-short conversations ever. We believe that God
knows it all, and yes! He does but in other for us to establish a good
relationship with Him, we go to Him in prayer.
In 1 Thess. 5:17, we were asked to pray continually. So how
do we do that when a 5-minute prayer is too long? – By talking to God about
everything . . . about your needs, fears, strengths and weaknesses, what gets you
angry, what makes you happy, tell him about your family, tell him about the
kind of day you want to have or how your day went. He is ready to listen as
long as you are ready to talk.
