2. Upping our Prayer Game.  A great way to jump-start our prayer life.

  • Take the Time: We mustn't rush prayer. Let's freely offer quality time to Jesus.
  • Take the Initiative: Initiate prayer with God and others at every opportunity.
  • Take the Plunge: Step into developing prayyer as our greatest life skill.

3. A.C.T.S.  A great way to organize our praying.

  • Adoration:  "God, I love you for..."
  • Confession: "God, please forgive me for..."
  • Thanksgiving: "God, I thank You for..."
  • Supplication (means "supply"): "God, I ask You for..." 


4. The Holy Spirit.  The Holy Spirit will lead us as we prsay.

  • Romans 8:26  "The Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Holy Spirit Himself intercedes for us."
  • A helpful analogy.  "Hover your heart-mouse" over each day's prayer request and permit "the drop down menu of the Holy Spirit" prompt you how you can pray for each day's topic.


5. Prayer is also a time of listening. 

  • Let's remember to ask God to speak to our hearts as we pray, and let's take the time to listen.
  • Our Daily Prayer Prompts Guide has space for making daily notes of anytihng God might bring to your mind.
