Never stop talking to Me; I'm always listening attentively, eager to hear everything you have to say.

Some of My children are falling behind in their prayer lives. The pursuit of earthly success has consumed their hearts, and this is where they invest their time. Little do you realize that My greatest joy comes from hearing your voice. Listening to you share about your day and how you need Me to guide you brings Me happiness.

You fill your day with numerous activities and choose to engage in many unnecessary things rather than offer a single prayer to Me. This happens because you don't understand how much your prayers to Me can positively transform your day. When you pray, you are inviting Me to decree My blessings and goodness into your day. Yet, you prefer to worry and complain instead of talking to Me.

The Man Called Daniel

In the Bible, there was a faithful man named Daniel who was commanded not to pray to Me in the land where he lived. He was instructed not to speak My name and to only pray to the gods they served. But Daniel refused to be silent. Instead, he went back to his room and cried out to Me in a loud voice. He worshiped Me and invoked My name. The evil people who had set a trap for him heard his voice and decided to punish him by throwing him into the den of lions. You already know the rest of the story—he emerged unscathed.

This is what happens when you pray. You gain the boldness to stand against the devil and defeat him ruthlessly. You receive the grace to live a life of holiness and devotion to Me. Even if the enemy believes they have ensnared you, you will emerge undefeated.

The Art of Praying

Do not view prayer as a burden; instead, see it as an integral part of your life. Pray without ceasing. Whether you are happy or worried, joyful or mourning. When things go your way and when they don't. When you're uncertain about the next step to take and when you're confident in your plans. Pray!

Whether you're busy or at leisure, still pray! Always carve out time in your day to call on Me. I have promised that when you call, I will answer. So, don't let anxiety consume you; bring your concerns to Me in prayer.

Find Time For Me

Praying daily is not as difficult as it may seem. No matter how busy you are, you can make time to pray each day. The reason you feel you don't have time is that you haven't been intentional about your spiritual growth and relationship with Me. You haven't prioritized prayer like you do other daily activities such as eating, working, having fun, and sleeping. Once you start consciously setting aside time for prayer, you'll realize there is enough time in your day for Me.

Dedicate a portion of your time to Me. Find a moment in your day when you're less busy and use it to pray. You'll notice the positive changes it brings to your life and your day.
