Creative Prayer Suggestion
Pray with Variety
Pray about a variety of things. [When talking with my wife,] we talk about
the kids, schooling, the church, vacation plans, family members, music,
bills, romance, work, etc. We don't try to talk about everything all in one
sitting! Do the same with prayer. Don't pray about the same things all the
time, and don't try to cover everything in one prayer. Vary your
conversation. Pray about the supervisor who gives you grief today, and save
time for the missionaries tomorrow.
Pray different types of prayers. Try praying a prayer of praise without any
petitions. Make no requests about anything. Put away the shopping list and
just spend time praising God for who He is in your life. Or sing your prayer
to God. There are times when we pray by singing favorite praise hymns such
as "Great Is Thy Faithfulness" or "I Love You, Lord."
The above has been taken from the email sent by the World network of Prayer.
