Discipline is essential for a successful prayer life. When we have discipline, our prayer life comes alive. So how do we maintain a high level of discipline for prayer?
First and foremost, it’s important to have a clear purpose for why you are praying. A vague “I want this or that” isn’t enough. We need to be able to articulate the specifics of our prayer so that you can stay focused and motivated when it comes time to pray. Think through some of the things you are going to pray about before you pray.
Another way to stay disciplined is to establish a prayer routine that works for you and stick to it. Once you’ve found a method of prayer that works for you and set a realistic goal that you can achieve, you are much more likely to stay motivated to keep on praying. For some this may be in the morning. Some may find time in the day, or others may find praying before bedtime works well.
Finally, it’s important to have the right attitude when you pray. Prayer isn’t about forcing yourself to do something; it’s about approaching God with an attitude of gratitude and humility, trusting in His promise to answer our prayers. Keeping this mindset when we pray will help us stay motivated each time we open our hearts to Him.
These are just a few ways that can help us stay disciplined when it comes to prayer. I hope this information has been helpful and I will post another writing soon to help you become a better prayer warrior. God Bless!
