I've been struggling with boredom in my prayer life, thankful to my Boyce-grad husband for sharing with me!

I woke up at 5am feeling weary and began meditating on Psalm 23:1-2. Right after praying this Psalm, I checked my YouTube page and this video was recommended. God works in mysterious ways. It was a light bulb moment

Greetings to all my Christians fellows. Can’t wait to celebrate with you guys in Heaven with our Lord Jesus Christ. Love you all ❤️

To spark up your prayer life:
- pray the psalms
- say the lords prayer
- sing a hymn
- confess your sins
- pray for strength not to yield to temptation
- pray for your personal sanctification

Praying the scriptures is the best type of prayer because we are using God's very word in prayer. This is how our pastor has taught us to pray at church. So I did exactly as he advised immediately when the video ended. I wondered about which Psalm to read and Psalm 41 came to me and as I opened the Bible, it opened exactly to Psalm 41 and it was just the very prayer I needed for me and my mum.

Gods word does not come back void! Praying the word is wise counsel! Just don`t make it impersonal, always from the heart! Also start out with worship! I find that when I lift up my voice to God and sing worship to Him first. It helps me get out of my self, and puts my heart and mind on Him! God Bless!

I'm 18 years, I always looked for someone that understands me and i can follow. Finally after 18 years I understood that I was looking for god. I started praying when I saw this video some months ago and my life is better in every possible angle. Thank you for you time and art. You literally change the way i see life. Thank you!

I did that this morning with 1 Corinthians 13:4-8. It made me repent, intercede for my family members and the world at large. It was amazing. I felt so good.

[kezia]

This I've been struggling with as a Christian thank you so much

[yezki]

This... this is actually a life hack... a SPRITUAL life hack.
Thank you :)

[je-anncaldea]

When I pray I'm getting sleepy then I forgot what I'm praying for... that's my biggest problem in my prayer life😢

[samiraamor]

Praying the word of God is the MOST powerful way to pray!!!

[nowandthennn]

I remember one night I wanted to pray about a problem I was having and I prayed the 23 psalm around my problem and I got an answer to my problem that night . The answer to my problem just came into my mind .

Prayer is a powerful weapon against the enemy. The enemy doesn't want us to be close to God. But I don't care about the enemy. I care to enjoy the Holy Spirit within me. He is the one to direct me to pray. And my prayer has been made Yes and Amen! God bless us all!

[Lisa-hmmp]

Please agree with me in the deliverance of my Daughter, her Husband, my Son and his girlfriend. They need immediate deliverance and rescue. In Jesus' MIGHTY Name. AMEN

[angelamcf]

Fabulous idea. I’ll be praying the Psalms from henceforth!

[jaecubed]

This is genius! I struggle with pray as I just feel like I'm not good at it. My mind is all over the place and I find I repeat things over and over. I'm going to try this today! Thank you and God Bless!

[sunshineretired]

I asked God for someone that I could learn more from about the Bible and wow thank you God,

[MsJones-fdij]

You have to come to the throne of God with singing, joy, and thanksgiving!! Knowing with Confidence that he hears you and what you repent from. Make your time with God fun!! When you began to feel his glory, you’ll never want to leave his presence. It the BEST peaceful, healing, feeling EVER! Love you all ❤️❤️

God blessed me with supernatural prayer language(Tongues) when i don't feel to pray i speak in tongues first and then after few minutes im starting to feel the quickening within me and i when i start to pray in my own language/understanding words are starting to pop in my mind.that is why in scripture said the Holy spirit will teach us what and how to pray when we dont know what to pray, when your flesh is weak the spirit will help us.
