Glorious morning Gems!!!
Congrats on completing week one of the 40 day prayer challenge with me! How is it going for all of you? Me, personally, the first four days was a complete struggle. I had a habit of getting up a five and then cutting my alarm off to go back to sleep. Yes, it was a real struggle. However, for day five to today I pushed myself to get on top of things.
This challenge has been helping me in so many ways. I still have my struggles when it comes to praying, but I can see a change beginning to happen with my prayer life. Slowly, but surely it's changing into something different -- a good different.
I am excited to see how things are for me within two more weeks. I'm still struggling with verbally praying, but I find that I do speak a little louder with my prayers now and not as quiet as I was.
This is blessing my spirit immensely. I pray it is for yours as well.
Journaling Prompt
Please be as true to yourself as possible when answering the prompt to get the most out of this challenge.
Today's scripture comes from Hebrews 5:7:
Spend 2-5 minutes journaling your thoughts, feelings and emotions.
Verbal Prayer
Take 2 minutes and verbally speak your written prayer. Pray out loud so that He can hear your voice. If your prayer is short, try to add to it. Pray from the heart over the things you learned this week.
Listen
Sit quietly in a position that will not make you tired and wait on God. You may feel His presence, you may hear from Him. If you do, write down what He says or what you're feeling. Give yourself at least two minutes of pure silence to be able to hear from and feel God. This is a conversation, not a rant. Allow Him the opportunity to speak to you after you've spoken to Him.
With week one complete I pray for continual progress. Not enough to stress us, but enough to give us the push to grow and mature in God through prayer.
