We are all tempted to give up in prayer. Giving up in general is one of the great temptations of the enemy. That is why Paul encourages us to “Not give up.” So when it comes to our prayer life it is important to hang on until God answers one way or the other.
Jacob faced an important moment when he easily could have given up. He was wrestling with God. But we learn an important prayer as Jacob, “stayed in the game.” Watch this short video where I talk about this important prayer:
It is helpful to my prayer life to take a scripture and carry it throughout the day. As I face different situations I bring that simple verse back to mind and pray it over whatever is in front of me. It is a simple practice but can make a big difference in the consistency and enjoyment of my prayer life. It also makes an impact on how I experience my day.
This practice doesn’t need to be hard. And as we look through scripture it made a difference in the life of the people there. Elijah even prayed a short prayer and fire fell from heaven. Who knows what will happen as you continue to engage God through the journey of your day. So I made a series of videos to help you with this. Here is the first short video to help you in your conversation with Jesus:
What verse or story will you use to carry throughout your day? If you would like a longer prayer join me on the podcast as I pray through Psalm 32 with you here.
If we are not careful the storms of life can wash us away. This episode gives you encouragement if you are in the midst of the storm, preparing for an upcoming storm or recovering from the past storm. We hope that it is an encouragement to your soul. Sit back, relax and enjoy this time of engaging with Jesus.
