How often should you pray?

How often should you breath?

Can you live without breathing?

Can your spirit thrive without prayer?

The answer is no and no.

Prayer is to the spirit what breath is to the body.

Let me explain.

The body needs to breath to survive.

How do you breath?

Automatically, through God’s perfect design.

What do you breath?

God’s glorious air.

How much do we pay for the air that we breathe?

God supplies it free of charge.

Do we value it less because it is supplied free?

Probably.

How grateful are you?

Most basic need of all.

Do you pray each morning to thank God that you are awake?

That yet again he has supplied air for you to breath?

If not, why not?

That’s an easy one to get going on.

THANK YOU GOD FOR WAKING ME THIS MORNING AND SUPPLYING CLEAN AIR FOR ME TO BREATH. IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME WE PRAY. AMEN.

Here’s some more rubbish from AI:

Ultimately, the decision on how often to pray should be based on individual conviction. It’s essential to find a rhythm that resonates personally.

Wrong.

The need to pray is from God.

The desire to pray is from God

The ability to pray is from God.

How do we tap into God’s grace?

We pray and ask him.

FATHER GOD HELP ME TO PRAY TO YOU THROUGHOUT MY DAY. HELP ME TO TURN TO YOU IN EVERYTHING. FATHER GOD SHOW ME HOW TO PRAY TO YOU. SHOW ME HOW TO LOVE YOU. HELP ME WORSHIP YOU. THANK YOU LORD FOR ALL THAT YOU DO FOR ME AND MY FAMILY AND EVERYONE I KNOW AND LOVE. IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME. AMEN.

Once you start to pray, you may well find it is difficult to stop.

Prayer will flow.

Why pray?

Prayer is based on spiritual needs and we must build a relationship with God.

Prayer is essential to develop a relationship with God.

Spiritual growth is the purpose of our life’s journey.

The spirit cannot grow without communing with God.

Paul understood this and prayed for the Spirit to enrich their lives through faith:

¹⁴ For this reason I kneel before the Father, ¹⁵ from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. ¹⁶ I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, ¹⁷ so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, ¹⁸ may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, ¹⁹ and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

EPHESIANS 3:14-19

What does the Bible say about prayer?

Pray to God to supply your needs.

“And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith”

MATTHEW 21:22

That sounds worth a try.

Copy Moses and pray to God for what you want:

¹¹ But Moses sought the favor of the Lord his God.

EXODUS 32:11

Pray to get closer to God.

But as for me, it is good to be near God.
    I have made the Sovereign Lord my refuge;
    I will tell of all your deeds.

PSALM 73:28

Pray to worship God.

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.
PSALM 19:14

Pray to seek God’s forgiveness.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

1 JOHN 1:9

Pray to thank God.

“Always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to our God and Father” 

EPHESSIANS 5:20

Above all,

Just pray.

Pray without ceasing.

1 THESSALONIANS 5:17

FATHER GOD WE THANK YOU AND ADORE YOU FOR THE BLESSED LIFE YOU HAVE GIVEN US. GUIDE US OH LORD IN YOUR PATH AND HELP US TO PRAY TO YOU THROUGHOUT OUR DAY. HELP US TO PUT AWAY OUR BUSYNESS AND BE STILL AND KNOW THAT YOU ARE GOD. IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME WE PRAY. AMEN.
