Scripture: Ephesians 6:10-20
“……. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective”
James 5:16b (NIV)
One of the greatest things that can happen to you is learning the practical skill to make the best of your prayer time. Yesterday we saw some physical steps to ensure that you are really praying and not overtaken by other businesses. Acknowledge the one to whom you are praying to, be focused and precise. Matthew 6:6,7
For many people, the biggest distraction to prayer comes as they think about all things they need to do that day. To solve this problem, keep a jotter or notebook and a pen and write down each item as it comes to your mind. This will help you off load it and forget it until later. Sometimes your environment can also be a distraction to your prayer.
When thoughts of something continues to bother you, coming up again and again as you pray, it mostly means that God wants you to take it to him in prayer. Intruding thoughts in prayers are either distractions or instructions. For distractions, write them down for attention later, or switch to praying in tongues (Romans 8:26) but if it comes as an instruction take action by taking them to God in prayers immediately.
PRAYER: Lord, help me to take the best of my time with you in prayer.
FAITH BYTE: : I pray according to God’s will. I receive answers that turn my life around for good.
