Prayer life can be made easier using four tips I share with you in the following lines. 

The reason I am writing this post is to address the challenges that come with prayer in a life that leaves us with so little time to do it. 

After trying a few ways to make my prayer life easier, I have come up with 4 ways to do it.  

Before sharing the four ways that have made my prayer life easier, let me call your attention to the twofold foundation of prayer:

• Prayer is acknowledging the need for God in all areas of life. 
• Prayer is an act of surrender and obedience to God.

With that in mind, here are now the four tips I have used, and which have made my prayer life easier.

Prayer Life is made easier when you add it to your daily schedule

I have decided to add my prayer time to my daily schedule. The reason for doing so is that it helps me be intentional about doing it.

To do it easily, I have made it the first thing I do in the morning and the last thing you I do at night before going to bed.

In the beginning, it may be hard to do. But, just like any other thing in life, you will get better at it.

You can also use an alarm or a sound notification on your phone to remind you of prayer. 

Prayer Life is made easier when you do it with someone else

I have several people who help me consistently pray, which makes my prayer life easier.

The first people are my wife and our two daughters. Everyday, we get together before bed and pray.

Here are four things Lydia and I have used for a long time with our daughters, which I believe, can also help you:

• Be thankful for the day.
• Ask God to forgive you for anything wrong you did during the day.
• Ask God to bless your family and friends.
• Ask God to keep you safe when you sleep.

In addition to praying with my family every evening, I also pray with other people as often as I can.

Prayer Life is made easier when you use prayer concerns from other people

Every single name in the Sunday bulletin and newsletter (from your Church) represents someone who longs for God’s touch and healing.

God works in mysterious ways, which is often made possible through people just like you and me.

Because, you and I are members of the body of Christ, we have to share in our moments of joy or struggle.

The best way to do it is to pray for them. Sometimes, a person needs to know that someone else has been praying for them. It encourages them a lot.

Not all people share what for which, they need prayer. But, they can be willing to share if you can ask them for specifics and assure them that you will be praying for them. 

Prayer Life is made easier when you use prayer apps

Some people record prayer concerns in their prayer journals. I use apps.

The reason, I love apps, is that I always take them with me on my phone or iPad.

As a result, I can pray anywhere I am since I have the names of people I have been praying for with me.

If you go to the Apple Store for IOS devices or Google Play Store for Android devices, you will find a lot of prayer apps.

The one that I am currently using is called “Prayer notes – a daily journal with God.”With this app, for example, you can use the prayer journal, track prayer request and answers, share your requests and create a daily prayer schedule.

There is no perfect way to do this. But, use whatever works for you, which can help you keep the names of people who need your support in prayer.

I would like to hear from you how your prayer life works. Is there something, not listed above, which you would be willing to share with me? Please, do it in the comment box.
