Topic: Cultivating a Strong Prayer Life

2 Thoughts:

1. Prayer is like a bridge between our humanity and God's divinity. It's a sacred conversation where we open our hearts to Him and He, in turn, opens His to us.

It's easy to forget the power of prayer. Heck, its easy just to remember to pray at all!  But prayer is not just about making requests; it's about connecting your heart with God's, allowing His wisdom and will to become your own.  We simply cannot live bigger, better lives apart from a strong prayer life with Him.

2.  "The more you pray, the less you'll panic. The more you worship, the less you worry. "

- Rick Warren

Many men are plagued with worry, anxiety, panic, and problems they feel unable to overcome.

A strong prayer life provides you with what you need to panic less and worship more as you learn to trust God and recognize His voice more clearly.  A strong prayer life is your lifeline to God's presence.  So don't leave home without it!

2 Quotes:

"To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing."

- Martin Luther

"Prayer is not asking. Prayer is putting oneself in the hands of God, at His disposition, and listening to His voice in the depth of our hearts."

- Mother Teresa

2 Actions: 

1. Set a Daily Prayer Time:

Designate a specific time each day for prayer, even if it's just a few minutes. This may not feel very "spiritual" to set an alarm and remind you to pray - but consistency builds a strong prayer habit and will eventually become second nature.

2. Pray The Fight Club Prayer Everyday: 

“God, make me a man of Honor, a man of Discipline, a man of Strength, and a man of Joy today.  Help me to be alert, to stand firm in the faith, to act like a man, to be strong, and to do everything that I do today in love.  In Jesus’ name - Amen.”
