Developing Your Prayer Muscles

So, how do you develop prayer muscles to move from praying a few minutes here and there to praying without ceasing? That’s what this blog post will discuss.

~ 1. First of all, write down to the side, and preferably in your prayer journal how long, in minutes, you think you prayed today.
~ 2. Do NOT beat yourself up for your answer from #1 or #3. We’re just getting a starting point.
~ 3. How many minutes did you pray yesterday?
~ 4. Make it your goal to increase by 5 minutes every day for 5 days. Write down at the end of each and every day how long you prayed that day. Keep the record. Put it in your prayer journal is the most ideal.
~ 5. Review and analyze. How did Days 1-5 go and were you able to increase every day by 5 minutes? If so, good for you! If not, you have every day for the rest of your life to try. So, keep the faith and persevere.
~ 6. Repeat steps 1-5 every 5 days for the rest of your life. In time, you will be praying without ceasing.
~ 7. Practice, practice, practice.
