›› Pray with Variety
Pray about a variety of things. [When talking with my wife,] we talk about the kids, schooling, the church, vacation plans, family members, music, bills, romance, TV programs, work, etc. We don’t try to talk about everything all in one sitting! Do the same with prayer. Don’t pray about the same things all the time, and don’t try to cover everything in one prayer. Vary your conversation. Pray about the supervisor who gives you grief today, and save time for the missionaries tomorrow.
Pray different types of prayers. Try praying a prayer of praise without any petitions. Make no requests about anything. Put away the shopping list and just spend time praising God for who He is in your life. Or sing your prayer to God. There are times when we pray by singing favorite praise hymns such as “Great Is Thy Faithfulness” or “I Love You, Lord.”
