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
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
Prayers For A Toxic Work Environment That Has Become Unbearable!
I used to hate going to work when I started my first real job. Why? Because I was having ummm, how shall we say, difficulties at work with my supervisor.
And because of that, I went to work with a feeling of anxiety and dread in my stomach. If you’ve ever worked in a toxic work environment then you understand what I mean. You may love what you’re actual job entails but you struggle to love the people you work with.
I know that Jesus has told us to love everyone but frankly some people don’t make it easy. It is what it is.
But even still that’s what we are supposed to do. So what are some ways we can lovingly deal with people at work who we might just want to toss into the river (okay I don’t mean that literally, of course)?
I have some ideas and also a prayer that you can write down and say before and during work so that no one gets hurt lol
– Creative Ideas For Your Prayer Journal
Would you like to rekindle intimacy with God through prayers but don’t know where to start? Or maybe you have a prayer journal that you simply don’t feel inspired to use.
Prayer is a major part of our Christian life; it’s what keeps us connected to our Source.
Just as a fish cannot survive outside its habitat, as Christian women, we need to stay connected to God through prayers if we’re truly going to live out His purpose for our lives.
I understand that as much as we want to cultivate a praying habit and get closer to God, our busy schedules may sometimes get in our way.
In fact, distractions can come from anywhere, e.g., the bills, an important exam, home runs, etc… but in the midst of these, you can still make time for God.
And I’m here to show you how a simple prayer journal can help you improve the quality of your prayer life.Continue reading
