When People Pray: Unlocking a Passionate Prayer LifeEsimerkki

Key 3: Choose a Dedicated Time

Ecclesiastes 3:1 says, “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven.” 

There is a right time for everything - a time to work, a time to play, and a time to pray. 

Find the right time for your daily devotions with God and fight to keep it. 

What would it look like if you maximized your day by making time to pray before it begins? 

Could you capitalize on your commute by praying then? 

Could you pray while your children are still sleeping? 

Prayer softens your heart and awakens your conscience. 

Set a goal: Choose a Dedicated Time. 

Key 4: Choose a Dedicated Place

You have the ability to minimize your distractions by strategically choosing a dedicated place for your time of prayer. Choose your bedroom, office, living room, backyard, car, a park, the mountains, or your generous neighbor’s hot tub while they’re at work. 

Matthew 6:6 reveals Jesus’ heart for us concerning prayer, “But when you pray, go into your room close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.” 

Where do you go for daily prayer? 

If you don’t have one, consider this your invitation:  Choose a Dedicated Place.
