It is currently day 4 and 5 of the fast and prayer needs to become a priority. Learning to dedicate time to actually praying is essential and I have noticed that going into prayer does not excite me as I know it should. If we are honest and transparent, you will probably admit the same thing.

There are other things in my life that I am more excited about and look forward to do, for example, eating.lol. I enjoy making new meals, presenting them nicely and eating it or watching programmes on Youtube or Netflix. What excites you more than prayer?

Daniel Fast Experience priorities and prayer

Acknowledging our flaws does not mean we have to stay that way. After doing my reading and devotions of the day I realised that as long as I have the intention to priorities prayer, the more likely I will do it. One of the devotions made me realised that I am sitting on inheritance but not claiming it.

Imagine knowing that someone has left you with an inheritance of 20 million, you know how to claim it, you have been informed that it is yours but choosing or refusing to claim it. This is exactly the same thing we are doing when it  comes to prayer.

Prayer is like a JESUS CHRIST credit card

We have the JESUS CHRIST credit card and we are allowed to use it but instead of going to the shops we are choosing to stay at home and be miserable.  When you start to see the value in prayer, your desire for it changes or should I say increases.

HOW TO PRAY when you don’t enjoy it

To make the statement that we do not enjoy prayer means we are basing it on feelings.

Prayer is not about feelings, it’s about connection

The core foundation of Christianity is relationship, and relationship is developed through connection. We this changed mindset let us talk about how to actually do it in our daily lives

Tips on how to pray

I have seen for acronym  PRAY to stand for PRAISE – REPENT – ASK – YIELD

PRAISE – Praise is how you are to enter into the presence of God  (Singing, or play some praise and worship in the background if it helps)

REPENT – Taking the time to ask God to search your heart and help you repent from anything that has come between you and him. Or asking God to reveal any sin in your life you may be overlooking.

YIELD – Yeilding is when you stop talking , and you wait, listen. and seek to hear from God

Don’t worry about the time, if you pray for 5mins or 2 hours, it doesn’t matter right now. Just do it
