Over the next 25 days, I challenge you to increase your conversation with God. Each day, set your watch so that it goes off every hour. When the alarm sounds, spend a moment in prayer with God. It doesn't have to be long. It doesn't have to be complex. It can simply be a quick praise of God, thank you to God, request from God, or whatever else is inspired in your heart at that moment.
I know that once an hour sounds like a lot, but let me assure you, the benefits are well worth the effort. As time passes, you will find that prayer will become easier and more fluid. You will find yourself needing your alarm less and less as prayer becomes more and more a part of who you are.
Feel free to personalize your period of prayer. Perhaps you may choose to do 25 days of prayer for 25 people. Maybe you spend each day rotating through subjects. Or you could just want to experience the freedom to pray as the Spirit leads. Whatever your style and duration, there is no wrong way to participate in this experience.
This blog is set up both as a place for you to offer prayers to God, and as a place for you to share with others the ways in which God has responded to your prayers. Simply click on the comments button below to post a response (it's just to the right of where it says "posted by CHESTERUMC at ...").
I pray that God will move you to take up this challenge and will bless you as you participate.
In Christ,
Pastor Brandon
