how to build a strong prayer life
“there is power in persistent prayer.”
- p for praise. praise God always. tell Him how great He is, how fair and just He is, etc. because that’s exactly what He is. He is beyond perfect. praise God for waking you up today, for giving you food and water, a roof over your head and all the miracles He has worked in your life. use this time to show your gratefulness to the Most High!
- a for ask. ask God for whatever you desire, no matter how small you think it is. whether it’s good grades, to win a sports game or to help you out in stressful situations. confide in God and trust that He will help you out, no matter what happens next.
- f for forgive. ask for forgiveness from others for the sins you have committed against them, and ask for forgiveness from the Most High. however, don’t forget to forgive others, just as Christ forgave you (ephesians 4:32).
- p for protect. ask the Lord to cover you, your friends, your family, etc. with the Blood of Jesus, and trust that the Lord will protect you regardless.
if you’re worrying if this prayer method is unbiblical, align it with the Lord’s Prayer and notice how it matches! if you’re struggling to pray, force yourself to pray because something is forcing you not to pray. all in all, make praying a habit and watch how your life will drastically improve!
