SPIRITUAL LIFE RENEWAL
Rev. Dr. Cheryl D. Elliott
Developing and Practicing the Prayer-Filled Life
Prayer changes your behavior, your conversation,
you
gain
strength against
sin,
you will be refreshed,
renewed and
revived.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Pray the Scriptures, quote the Psalms, the Promises, the Passion
of Christ. “Create within me a clean heart and renew a right
spirit within me” (Ps. 51:10) “No weapon formed against
me shall
prosper…” (Is a. 54:17).
- Set aside an hour that will be free of distractions. Read, pray,
listen, write. Set aside ten minutes to thank God for everything
you can think of.
- Sit in silence for fifteen minutes listening to God: God will speak through scripture, a song, a thought, an emotion, a quiet still voice……
- Take a walk, sit in a park, look at the sky, see flowers, birds,
moon, stars—consider the majesty, the greatness, the awesomeness of
God
and express those feelings and
revelations out loud to God.
- Flash prayers: Riding a bus, standing in a line, in a waiting room, before a meeting, in a group, wherever you are, inwardly ask God
to touch the
lives of others with His presence. Pray for whoever
and whatever you see.
- Pray three times a day: Morning, Noon, Night.
- Ask God to wake you up with a pray on your lips.
- Fast from television for a day, a week, a month and use that
extra time to develop your prayer life.
- Regularly attend: Prayer Meetings.
- Regularly pray with a prayer partner(s).
- Regularly pray alone – just you and God.
