So, how do you begin? It’s the first thing to do is figure out the time of day that works best for you to pray. Some people like to start their day with prayer, while others prefer to pray in the evening before going to going to bed. Test and see what works for you.

Once you’ve determined the best time for prayer You can begin to establish a routine. Here’s an example of a daily pattern for morning prayer:

Begin by talking to God and asking for his presence as you read and meditate.

Take a chapter from the Bible and meditate on it for a while. This can be done by reading the passage three to four times or by listing anything it tells you about yourself, or guidelines to follow or promises to claim.

Your prayer should be structured by praying for adoration, confession prayer, thanksgiving, and petition. Prayerfully address your immediate needs and worries, and take time to enjoy God’s presence.

The great thing about the prayer time routine is that it is customizable to meet your requirements. Some people may only have a few minutes to spare, while others may be able to devote a whole time or even more. The key is making it a regular part of your routine. If you fall off the occasional day or two, don’t sweat it! Get back on track for the next day.

The practice of daily prayer is a great method to begin your new year off with a new feeling of purpose and spiritual connection with God. It’s an effective way to start your day, keeping your eyes to the Lord and aligning your thoughts and actions with His will.

Another way to increase your prayer routine is to enhance it by making it more engaging. Instead of reciting the words, you should try to connect with God on a deeper level. Use your imagination and try to visualize the scenes within the Bible. Try to feel the emotions of the characters and place yourself in their the shoes of their characters. This can make your time in prayer more personal and meaningful.

Try incorporating different types of prayer into your day-to-day routine. For example, try a silent prayers, contemplative prayers, or even writing down your prayers. This will keep your prayer routine from becoming monotonous and add variety to your spiritual routine.

One of the most effective methods to keep yourself motivated and on track with your daily prayer routine is sharing your practice with others. Find an accountability partner either a close friend or family member who will be checking in with you and encourage you to stick to your daily routine. They could even join you in prayers and share their own experiences.

Remember, 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 achieving perfection or following a strict set of guidelines, but rather being intentional and consistent in your life of faith.
