Praying Through Your Day and a FREE Gift for You!
Why is praying through your day so important? Quite simply, prayer is the best way to communicate with God. We were not meant for isolation or to live life alone. We were made to be in community and to have connection with others. Even if we are physically alone we always have access to connection with our Lord through prayer.
I remember the first time I read 1 Thessalonians 5:16-17, Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. At the time I had babies at home and I thought seriously pray all day…how would one even begin to do that? I love you Jesus, but some days I can’t even get a shower in And then it dawned on me, like a tap on the shoulder saying, “It doesn’t have to be a get on your knees 15 minute prayer. It can be a 20 second one like this, Lord I give this day to you, use me to do your will. Very simple, very concise. Over time it became a quick prayer at school drop off, a little prayer on the way into a work meeting,
My favorite is a little prayer while folding the laundry. I pick up my son’s pants and pray, Lord may he have a heart that longs for Jesus. I pick up my husbands tee and pray, Lord bless his conversations at work today. Keep going and before you know it your load of laundry is folded!
With our prayer life it’s easy to fall into the trap of lies like: I don’t have time, I don’t know where to start, I will probably do it wrong. Well, here’s the thing sister…you can’t do it wrong and we’re thinking all the time so why not focus our thinking on Him. Just start talking, He’s listening and He’s ready to dwell in relationship with you. To help you deepen your prayer life we’ve created a FREE PDF just for you!
