Stop Boring Prayer Times

Listen Later

Many disciples of Jesus struggle with distracted, neglected, and boring prayer lives.  The problem of prayer is not the content or the recipient – it's the method.  In this episode, discover some tips to stop boring prayer times.

Prayer Distractions

  1. Lack of Faith - Relying on a God we cannot see with requests we cannot handle requires faith.
  2. Lack of Familiarity - We talk awkwardly if we don't know the person to whom we are talking.
  3. Lack of Focus - Conflicts, concerns, and chores fill our minds and hinder our prayers.
  4. Lack of Form - The problem of prayer is not the content or the recipient – it's the method.
