5 Prayer Life Practices for Connecting With God

Episode #148: 5 Prayer Life Practices for Connecting With God When You Pray

Has your practice of prayer become little more than a check on your to-do list? Do you wonder how to talk with God more effectively or passionately? Do you wonder if your prayers even matter? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you need some fresh tools to rejuvenate your prayer time that will enable you to better connect with God. And that’s my goal for this episode of UnPerfect. I’m sharing a fresh perspective on what prayer is and what prayer does, while also giving you five of my favorite ways to stay focused on Jesus in my prayer life.

“There is a great feeling that when a man is praying, he’s doing nothing, and this feeling makes us give undue importance to work, sometimes even to the hurrying over or even to the neglect of prayer. Do not we rest in our day too much on the arm of flesh?”

E. M. Bounds,  Purpose in Prayer
