Day 1: Creating a Lifestyle of Prayer
Scripture:
"Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where He prayed." — Mark 1:35 (NIV)
Reflection:
Prayer isn’t something we do just once in a while. It’s meant to be a lifestyle—something we cultivate every day. Jesus Himself modeled this for us. He took time, early in the morning, to connect with His Father.
Prayer is the lifeblood of your faith. Yet many Christians today are anemic. Prayer is connecting to God and confronting the enemy. Should be an ongoing conversation in our lives.
Application: Not a right way or wrong way but there is a focused, consistent, and effective way to pray.
Quick Prayer:
“God, I want to make prayer a lifestyle, not just a moment. Help me to set aside time, find a space, and create a plan for connecting with You every day. Thank You for the example Jesus set for us.”
Today keep making payer a priority!

- Have a Certain Place: Find a quiet spot, just like Jesus did. A place where you can truly focus on God without distractions. (Chair in office
