I find it difficult to pray alone. I believe this problem affects more than 90% of Christians. How can we find time for prayer alone? He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide in the shadow of the Almighty. We need to enjoy the presence of God every day in our lives. This is only possible through personal prayer.
I have found two ways to help me pray more. One: singing spiritual songs. When I sing these songs, my heart is at peace and I feel inspired to pray. The prayer is short and intense; behind it is the inspiration of the Spirit. Two: the alarm on my cell-phone! I fix up the alarm on my cell-phone clock at, say, 11 am in the morning. I’m in my office and the alarm rings. I’m busy; I press ‘snooze’. The alarm shuts down. But again after 5 minutes the alarm is ringing again. It’s buzzing me for prayer. “Get up and pray! Get up and pray!” it says. And I have to get up and go into my ante-room and pray, because the alarm is insistent. Lord, help me to pray more and more. Help me spend more time at Your feet in prayer. Then my heart is strengthened, my faith is made steadfast, and my thought-life is purified and I gain heavenly wisdom. It’s a great experience. I’m able to pray 3 to 4 times like this in my office. And I am able to do much more work, with a great amount of inner peace and tranquillity in my thought life.
Strengthen your spirit by prayer. Keep in touch with God. He is your life, your strength, your wisdom in Christ Jesus.

I got your link because we are connected at MyChurch. WordPress was my second blog online. I loved this blog because it is so true, when you pray I can accomplish so much more as Jesus is my second hands, feet, heart and everything. Thank you for the encouragement. God bless Jacqui xx
