When People Pray: Unlocking a Passionate Prayer Lifeಮಾದರಿ

Key 5: Prepare Your Heart to Meet with God

Preparation is so important. The first thing to do before praying is to prepare your heart to seek God. 

Quiet your heart and clear your mind of all distractions, silence your phone, and give God your undivided attention. 

What ways do you prepare? 

Psalm 46:10 says, “Be still, and know that I am God.” 

It is so important to commune with God intentionally. It takes effort to get your heart ready. 

Prepare Your Heart to Meet with God.

Key 6: Start with Thanksgiving

A great way to start your prayer time is by thanking God for all He has done. 

Stop right here and begin to Thank Him. What are you thankful for? 

Maybe you are thankful for your spouse, your children, your friends, your ministry, your business, and for God’s favor, provision, and protection on your life. 

Psalm 95:2 urges us to “come into His presence with thanksgiving.” 

Thanking God is the best way to put your problems into perspective. 

When you start with Thanksgiving, your focus shifts from what you don’t have to what you do have, and that lays a foundation for the rest of your prayer. 

Start off right: Thank God.
