Practical Prayer Tips

God, you are my God; I eagerly seek you. —Psalm 63:1

Prayer allows us to settle in for an intimate conversation with our closest Companion and Friend, but it’s an area where most of us struggle. Here are some things I’ve found helpful through the years in my own prayer life.

First, if I don’t start my day early, then I’ll have to rush through my time in the Word and focused prayer. I’ve found I need to start my day by asking the Spirit to fill and direct me and asking the Father to show me the sin I’m blind to and open my heart to receive the truth of His Word.

Posture also matters. There’s something about going to my knees that adjusts my attitude. I don’t always pray on my knees. That’s the beauty of having an open door of communication with God. I don’t have to physically transport myself to a specific location to pray. But there’s something that happens to my heart when I humbly move my body to an appropriate stance before the Ruler of the universe and signify that He is worthy of my adoration.
