When You Don’t
Feel Like Praying “We
are hedged in (pressed) on every side [troubled and oppressed in every way], but
not cramped or crushed; we suffer embarrassments and are perplexed and unable to
find a way out, but not driven to despair; 9. We are pursued (persecuted and
hard driven), but not deserted [to stand alone]; we are struck down to the
ground, but never struck out and destroyed;”
2 Cor. 4:8,9 (Amplified) Why
does it seem hardest to pray when you need it most ? Five
ways to help communicate 1)
Pray scripture back to God : Make a list of your favorite passages 2)
Keep a journal : Write out
your needs. Identify the areas of
your life that are making you feel so distant from Him. Release it all to Him 3)
Use your senses : Find a
quiet place to see, smell, taste, touch, hear as a way of stimulating a prayer. 4)
Review the day : At the end
of the day, what can you be thankful for. Give
your concerns to God. 5)
Pray over / for important items : family,
friends, home, laptop - thanking God for their relevance to you in your life. We can see the contrast in Peter’s
life and his relationship to the Lord Change
matters of care to matters of prayer “GOD's
angel sets up a circle of protection around us while we pray.”
