1: Before you stop praying... read this 2: Unanswered prayers do not mean that God isn't working. 3. God hears every prayer you pray. God listens, and he cares about what we're going through. His timing is just different than ours, but you're not going unheard. 4. Waiting is not the same as denial. Don't mistake God's silence for His absence. What if He is preparing you for the very thing you are praying for? 5. Prayer will change you before it changes your situation, if you allow it. Praying without ceasing builds up your faith and trust in God when things look uncertain. 6. Don't stop praying.
Invite God into the moment
Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. - 1 Peter 5:8
Ask, using my name, and you will receive, and you will have abundant joy. - John 16:24
What have you been praying for lately?
God can handle your most honest prayers.
Steadfast Prayer
Never Stop Talking to God
Who in your life are you praying for right now?
1. Sometimes reading the Bible feels like a checklist. 2. Sometimes praying feels like talking to the air. 3. Sometimes worship feels like just singing. 4. Sometimes life feels dry. 5. But obedience in the dry times brings life, even if you don’t immediately see it. 6. Stay faithful. Stay committed. The season won’t last forever.
Pray like it matters. (It does.)
"Anxiety is a signal alerting you that it's time to pray." - Craig Groeschel

For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us - Romans 8:26
There is power in the name of Jesus
Prayer isn't a performance to perfect, it's an honest conversation to begin.
The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. – James 5:16
1. Praying “Your will be done" but reminding Him what you want just in case. 2. Watching everyone around you receive the thing you've been praying for. 3. Surrendering something to God on Monday and picking it back up by Wednesday. 4. Being scared that if you fully surrender God will take that as permission to say no. 5. The moment you realize the waiting changed something in you that the answer never could have.
Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. - James 5:14
Stop overthinking. Start by going to God.
Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known. - Jeremiah 33:3
Talk to God today. He listens.
