The Secret To Organizing Your Prayer Life & Growing Closer To God!

How To Organize Your Prayer Life

Is it just me or is keeping an organized and intentional prayer life a major challenge? It’s so easy to have prayer lists and requests stashed in multiple apps, random sticky notes, church bulletins, and in your already cluttered brain.

Who can remember everything and everyone they need to pray for? It’s overwhelming!

That’s why organizing your prayer life is so vital. Speaking with our Creator is paramount to our spiritual growth. Prayer is our spiritual cell phone that we can pick up anytime we want and speak to the King of Kings.

What an amazing privilege! Not only that, prayer creates life change for not only you but for those you pray for.

That’s why we can’t neglect our prayer life. Fortunately, with the steps I’m going to share with you today, keeping track of your prayers and petitions to God will be so much easier!

Plus, with one of my methods, you can record your prayers anywhere! So if you’re ready to spend more time with God in prayer, please join me as I share with you how to organize your prayer life.

Let’s get started with learning how to find time to pray.

Prayers To Get Out Of Debt: How To Humbly Ask God For Financial Blessings

Are you down financially and don’t feel the strength to say a prayer to get out of debt?

Perhaps you’ve found yourself in what seems like a never-ending cycle of unpaid bills.

Maybe you just had a car wreck.

A terrible divorce.

A loved one who’s very sick needs quality and costly health care.

Perhaps you made a poor financial decision that’s too late to reverse.

Whatever the case may be, I know it’s easy to feel hopeless and like there’s no way out.

I’ve been in a dark place financially too, and the last thing I wanted to do was pray. I found myself blaming God for my financial state, “Couldn’t He have stopped me before it got this bad? Does He not know I’m having it tough financially… I continued on and on.

But I have a merciful Heavenly Father, He knew I was only acting out because of the challenges I was going through, and in His mercy, He found me and helped me cry to Him genuinely.

Friends, no matter how dire your financial situation may seem, there is a light at the end of the tunnel and a God that can still turn things around in your favor.

He’s your heavenly Father; He sees your struggles and wants to help.

He’s inviting you to humble yourself before Him and ask for His financial blessings. He will answer and bestow.

In this guide, I’m going to give you some things to pray for that can give you the help you’re seeking.

Giving It To God: How To Give Up Control And Trust God More Even When You Don’t Want To!

teal overlay white letters giving it to God woman smiling with arms above her head

Giving It To God: How To Give Up Control And Trust God

I won’t even lie to you. Giving “it” to God is one of the scariest aspects of being a Christian for me.

I hate being vulnerable, giving up control, surrendering…whatever you want to call it. It’s not my thing. I’d much prefer just being anxious all the time and trying to figure it all out myself. And I seriously wish I was joking, but I’m not.

I’m just keeping it real with you. And it’s highly possible that you feel the same way if you’re reading this!.

I want you to know that you’re not alone…not in the least bit. However, I have learned after many sleepless nights, many spiritual battles, and “wars” with God (“war” is in quotes because really…what kind of war would I really have with God?”) that surrendering to God is really the best option even if I go kicking and screaming as I do it.

Again, I wish I were more compliant, but it goes against my nature.

I’m so grateful, though, that I serve a God that is abundantly patient and kind with me and loves and blesses me despite how difficult I can be to deal with.

I hope that the tips I’m going to share with you today will help you learn to give it to God even if it terrifies you because, at the end of the day, it is the best thing that you can do!Continue reading

My Love Letter To Single Christian Women 

(This will not be my typical post but more of a stream-of-consciousness type post. If we were talking face to face and you were upset about being a single woman this is what I would say to you). 

Dear Single Christian Woman,

Let me ask you a question that you may not have considered before…

Is it possible that Jesus wanted to be married? Yes and some people erroneously believe he was married.

However, Jesus did not marry.

Why? Continue reading

How To Start A Spiritual Journal To Help You Walk Closer With God!

How To Start A Spiritual Journal To Grow Closer To Christ

Do you need to connect with God but don’t know where to start? Perhaps you feel ready to start a spiritual journal but don’t know how. Either way, don’t worry…I’ve got you. 

As women, sometimes words are not enough to communicate our deepest thoughts, especially when we feel disconnected. One thing I’ve learned is to grab a pen and write exactly how I feel instead of bottling up my emotions.

I also know that it’s sometimes difficult to admit to others that you feel disconnected from God. Most times, we rarely talk about things like this and try to figure them out all alone… but that’s just one more reason why I love journaling so much.

This guide is a safe space; the beginner tips I’ll share here will help you discover yourself and start a fresh spiritual journey with God. Keep an open mind while you read. This is a no-judgment zone. Continue reading

7 Creative Ways To Spend Time With God Even When You’re Short On Time!

7 Creative Ways To Spend More Time With God Everyday Even When You’re Short On Time!

Spending time with God is always important but right now, with how crazy the world seems, it feels even more vital. 

But even as essential as it is to spend quality time with God, it still seems like so much of life gets in the way of this happening. 

In our busyness, our time with our heavenly Father gets pushed to the side in favor of “more pressing” things.

We’ll say “I’ll do my study tomorrow” and then 10 tomorrows go by and we still haven’t spent any time with the Lord. 

So what’s a Christian woman with a busy schedule supposed to do?

We could say no more often but if you’ve already committed to long-term, time-consuming commitments, it’s a bad witness to abandon your responsibilities. 

You need some creative ideas that can help you spend more time with Jesus whether it be in prayer, Bible study, through worship and singing, Bible journaling, etc. 

Being alone with God on a frequent basis is one of the best ways to obtain the spiritual growth that God wants us to have (and that we want too).

Alone time with God is one of the most important aspects of Christian living.

That’s why I’ve come up with some unique ways to spend more time with Jesus even when you’re short on time!

These are ideas that you probably haven’t considered.

In fact, some of the ideas are a little outside of the box so to speak so you’ll have to be a little open-minded with me here 🙂

None of these ideas are meant to take the place of a true deep dive Bible study.

But they will still help you stay connected to the Father because you’ll be spending time with Him throughout the day. 

Okay now, let’s go ahead and get started.
