Are you satisfied with your prayer life?
If you’re like most Christians, the answer is no.
Most Christians would say their prayer life is ineffective, inconsistent, unsatisfying, and basically a list of requests they make of God, but lacks true communication and communion.
It is time to create a prayer strategy that will help you pray powerful, effective prayers!
“The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.” James 5:16
Prayer has always been one of the Christian disciplines I’ve struggled with most.
I have a great propensity to over-complicate very simple things, and prayer is definitely an area of my life I’ve made more complicated than I should have.
I take great comfort in my struggle with prayer, because as we read the gospels we see that even the disciples struggled in this very important area of their faith.
In Luke 11 the disciples came to Jesus and said, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.”
Jesus’ response to them wasn’t to preach a 5-hour sermon on prayer with all it’s nuances. Jesus simply gave them a formula to follow.
It’s called The Lord’s Prayer, but what it really should be called is, “The Disciples Prayer”, because this isn’t a prayer Jesus actually prayed. The Lord’s Prayer is really a prayer strategy that Jesus gave His disciples.
In fact, The Lord’s Prayer isn’t a rote prayer, it is a mini-course in how to pray!
When this revelation hit home for me, it revolutionized how I prayed. Suddenly the strategy of prayer, how I can pray effective and fervent prayers, and what I should pray for became so simple!
To help make it even easier, I put together a simple prayer journal with sections for each part of The Lord’s Prayer.
This kept me organized and helped me not to forget the people for whom I had promised to pray.

Yes, very needed topic. I recently learned about, and repented of, psychic prayers. http://hbcdelivers.org/psychic-prayers/ I was shaken to realize how many of the prayers I had offered and heard in church were actually psychic prayers.
