Every day is a gift!
Hi Friends! Over the month of July I have been revisiting some of my past posts. Today I am sharing my 2021 posts on prayer. On the surface, prayer seems to be pretty straightforward. But when we dig deeper, we find that there is so much we can say about prayer. Millions of words have been written in countless books about prayer. I have touched on different aspects of prayer over the course of this series. I hope they have provided encouragement to make prayer a part of your life. If you would like to revisit my posts on prayer from this spring, I have compiled that list below. I hope you get some value out of them as you learn to cling to the Lord in prayer.

You’re welcome! I thought this might be helpful to put them all together. In fact, I have even printed them so I can have them handy if I need a little inspiration. Thanks for stopping by! 💚

I agree with what you say that in the surface prayer is straightforward. We know how important it is to our lives as a follower of Christ and how crucial to keep us strong in our faith and walk. And the enemy knows that too and hence he tries to keep us off of it as much as possible. I think being reminded often of the importance, need and different aspects to what prayer can be is very much necessary.
I find that I am not as consistent with the way I ideally want my prayer life to be.
These reminders are good Bridget. I was again reminded to ensure that I should focus on my prayer life.
Blessings my friend💙🤗

I am glad this was helpful. Writing these have helped me a lot too. It helped improve my prayer life, but I am still not as consistent as I want to be either. And I think you really made a good point – “And the enemy knows that too and hence he tries to keep us off of it as much as possible.” So true! That tells me that we need to make prayer a priority and really focus on it. We might need little nudges to remind ourselves, or maybe even changes in our routine. I pray we can find a way to make our daily prayers stronger and more consistent. Thank you for the encouragement! Blessings to you too, dear friend! 🌼💛

I am glad this was helpful. Ironically, I had three different people ask for prayer yesterday. I felt it was a reminder from God to keep praying!
