The Joy of Personal Prayer
For much of my life as a Christian, prayer felt more like an obligation than something I genuinely looked forward to. I approached it with a sense of duty, worried about getting the wording just right and performing it correctly. But a transformative conversation shifted my entire perspective on prayer—it's meant to be a joyful, personal connection with my loving Heavenly Father.
Do you want to improve your personal prayer times? Here is a free email course to help you:
We don't need to get bogged down in vain repetitions, excessive words, or religious performances that make prayer feel burdensome. I'm simply invited to talk to God, like I respectfully talk to my closest friend or family member over a casual conversation.
With this mindset, prayer morphs from a duty into an awe-inspiring privilege—the opportunity to engage with the all-wise, all-powerful Creator as intimately as a child snuggling up to dad. Realizing the power and wisdom of the God we have access to through personal prayer should change our perspective. May we forever cherish the incomparable joy of personal prayer!
