Life can be hectic and it’s easy for prayer to slip down on the priority list. Like everything else that’s worth having, it requires effort and discipline. This is where the creation of an effective prayer schedule comes in. It helps us establish a structure and accountability to ensure we’re connected to God on a regularly.

How do you start? The first step is to decide which time of the day is most conducive to you to pray. Some people like to start their day by praying, and others prefer to pray before going to going to bed. Test and see what works best for you.

Once you’ve identified the ideal time to pray then you can begin building your daily routine. Here’s an example of a pattern that you can follow daily for morning prayer:

Begin by addressing God to ask for his help as you read and pray.

Go through a section of the Bible and then meditate on the passage. This can be done by reading the passage three to four times or by listing anything it tells you about yourself, the examples you can follow, instructions to follow or promises to keep.

Make your prayer a ritual by making confession, adoration as well as petition and thanksgiving. Make a prayer for your needs and pressing concerns as well as taking time to be in God’s presence.

The best thing about the prayer time routine is that it is customizable to meet your requirements. For some, you may have only some minutes while others might have a half an hour or more. The key is making it a regular part of your routine. And if you miss a day or two Don’t be concerned! You can get back on track the following day.

Another way to enhance your prayer routine is to make it more interactive. Instead of reciting the words, try to engage with God at a deeper level. Use your imagination and try to imagine the scenes that are described in the Bible. You can try to imagine the feelings of these characters and place yourself in their shoes. This makes your time of prayer more personal and meaningful.

Try incorporating various forms in your prayer daily routine. For instance, you can try silent prayers, contemplative prayers, or even writing down your prayers. This will keep your prayer practice from becoming boring and will add some variety to your daily spiritual routine.

One of the best methods to keep yourself focused and in line with your daily prayer routine is sharing the practice with others. Find a accountability partner, a family member or friend member who can check in with you and help you to adhere to your daily routine. They could even be a part of your prayers and share their own experiences.

The goal of a daily prayer practice is to increase your connection with God and align your thoughts and actions with His will. It’s not about perfection or adhering to an unwritten set of guidelines, but rather being consistent and deliberate in your daily spiritual practice. Therefore, make the effort to create a routine of prayer that you enjoy and set it as a priority in your day-to-day life.
