Prayer

Prayer is speaking and listening to God.  Prayer is open and 
honest communication with God in thought, word, and 
action.  It will bring comfort, guidance, growth and 
empowerment for your journey of faith. Prayer will shape 
you and mold you into who God calls you to become.  It is a 
gift from God given to all followers.

Opportunities to Grow
  • Create a quiet atmosphere for prayer
  • Keep a notepad handy to jot down specific prayers during the day
  • Set an alarm on your phone for prayer time
  • Say grace before meals
  • Use your commute to talk with God
  • Memorize a short scripture
  • Pray out loud
  • Use a Devotion guidebook
  • Schedule an appointment with God
  • Be specific in your requests
  • Pray with someone else
  • Keep a prayer journal so you can reflect back on answered prayers
Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay 
alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers 
everywhere.  
~Ephesians 6:18
