The ushering in of a New Year is a perfect time to  reflect on the last year with gratitude, and to commit to going deeper  with the Lord in the coming one.

A few months back I shared how the Lord prompted me to “up my game” in my prayer life by praying fifteen minutes a day in the Spirit, by  the clock   I must confess that at times it has felt tedious, even  rote.  Other times, I  lingered long after my timer went off because I  didn’t want to leave.

But  regardless of how it “feels,”  The discipline of praying in tongues  fifteen minutes a day has had a remarkable impact on my faith and also  in my ability to strategically pray for individuals and situations.
