Prayer Help: Tips for Praying
Prayer is essential for Christians who want to know God’s will and draw closer to him, but it can be difficult to find the time and motivation to pray. In this video, Fr. Mike Schmitz offers four tips for praying more effectively:
- Choose a specific time to pray and make it the center of your daily schedule. Don’t let prayer be just another “when” on your calendar, but rather the thing that defines your day.
- Choose a specific place to pray and make it a sacred space. This could be a quiet corner of your home, a chapel, or even a park bench.
- Choose specific prayers to say. Don’t just wing it, but rather have a plan for what you want to pray about.
- Remember the reason why you are praying – to draw closer to God and to know his will for your life. Keep this in mind as you pray, and it will help to motivate and focus you.
By following these four tips, you can develop a consistent and meaningful prayer practice that will help you grow in your faith and draw closer to God.
