When is it time to stop praying?

August 20, 2013

Three months is a long time. I believe it is also a spiritual barrier that must be crossed. If you have been praying the one hour prayer daily for at least 3 months you may have reached the point that I have reached where the novelty of the prayer has worn off. The initial excitement has faded. You are entering a season where endurance and persistence is required in prayer. If you are sensing that - be encouraged. God is doing a deep work in you and bringing you to a deeper level of prayer. Persist!

What is prayer like for you? Do you like I do many times come to God with a list of needs both for yourself and others. Does the prayer time become a one way conversation? Is it basically you speaking and God listening? One phrase that has impacted me from the one hour prayer is right in the beginning when we are instructed to take a paper and pen so we can write down what God is saying to us. That is a different approach to prayer. Sort of like listening for your instructions for the day.
