Transform Your Prayer LifeSýnishorn

1. Acknowledge God and His Holiness. For example, “Lord, You are Lord over my heart and mind. There is no one like You.” 

2. Seek God's will. For example, “Lord, I pray that You direct my steps today and that your  Will is accomplished in my life.” 

3. Daily needs. For example, “Lord, You know what I need today, I pray that You provide  for all of my needs.” (Pray specifically for the request) 

4. Forgive. For example, “Lord, forgive me for all my sins, both known and unknown, and I  forgive those who have hurt me.” (In some seasons, this prayer may be hard, but it's  necessary) 

5. Awareness. God will never lead us into temptation, but the principle here is that God will allow us to be discerning when faced with circumstances that may tempt us to do wrong. 

6. Pray for others. Think of those who are sick or fighting battles in secret. I tend to pray for those in the hospital, orphanages, and the many traveling missionaries in other countries. 

7. Pray for your desires. Ask away! This is the time to pour out your heart to God. 

8. Be still. After you have prayed, wait before getting out of your posture of prayer.
