Cultivating a Lifestyle of Prayer

How do we cultivate a lifestyle of prayer ?
(search the Word of GOD looking for His promises, then record them and claim them for yourself your family and anyone else that the Holy Spirit lays upon your heart)

I encourage each of you to look up the verses that inspired each of the following thoughts.

Be clear minded and self-controlled. (1Pe 4:7)

Pray constantly. (Ps 55:17, Da 6:10, Lk 18:1, Lk 21:36, Ac 6:3,4, 1Th 5:17)

Pray with thanksgiving. (Col 4:2, 1Th 5:18)

Pray with others. (Mt 18:19,20, Mt 21:13, Heb 10:25)

Patiently wait for the Lord's response. (Ps 27:14, Ps 37:7, Pr 20:22, Isa 30:18, Da 10:12,13, Hos 12:6, Lk 18:1-8)

Hear the Lord's response. (1Ki 19:11-13, Ps 86:7, Ps 91:15, Isa 30:19,21, Jer 33:3)

Walk in the righteousness of Christ. (Jas 5:16)


Practice Intercessory Prayer

The Holy Spirit intercedes for us. (Ro 8:26,27)

Pray for the harvest of souls. (Mt 9:37,38, Eph 6:19,20, Col 4:3,4, 2Th 3:1, Phm 1:6)

Not continuing in intercessory prayer is sin. (1Sa 12:23)
