What is a superstitious prayer? Why does praying with intention matter? How do we break through the monotony?

---

Ever feel like you’re praying to the wind? Like you have done this same dance for so long that it has become second nature. Maybe your prayers have become stale, drowned out by all the noise of life. Instead of offering back any kind of life, praying is just another task to check off on your spiritual todo list.

But prayer is so much more than this. Prayer is power. Prayer aligns us with the Creator. It is a catalyst in our faith.

This week, we share a few experiences where prayer became a routine, or worse: actually became a hindrance to our faith. Recently Cody realized the same ole prayers he was offering up every night were so focussed on death, fear, and lack that in reality God had no room to work. So we are tackling the topic of superstitious prayers!

This week we talked about:

* When to rebuke and when to bless

* Removing superstitious prayers

* Praying with intention

* Are we praying to the right thing?

* Idolizing prayer

* Rebuking something that is not there

* The power of positive prayer

*Aligning yourself with God through prayer
