What are some practical, insightful tips on prayer?
I have many, but thought it would be edifying and helpful to share best practices about our prayer lives. This is not an opportunity to gloat, only a chance to share what we have seen works best for praying in a way to builds up.
Do you play worship music in the background?
Do you pray outside or inside?
Do you pray silently, verbally, visually?
So some things I do are I read through the scriptures and as I read through I am listening for the Spirit to point out specific things to me that he wants me to pray about or pray for...
For example, last night I read through Romans 6-8. When I came to Chapter 8 I thanked God that I am not under condemnation in Jesus, even though at times my feelings may not align with that. I thanked the Spirit for interceding for me. etc.
Other times, I will play worship music in the back ground while praying that helps keep my mind focused on Christ and helps minimalize distractions and my thoughts wandering.
