In this post we will explore Wednesday prayer. We will focus on two main points one on praying Wednesday prayers and the other on sharing these prayers with family member or friend. So, let’s start talking to the Lord…
Oh, Wednesdays…the middle of the week. These are the days that sometimes need a little extra prayer and time with Jesus. Am I not right?
If you are in that place then today I hope this article really inspires you to get before the Lord and seek His face.
But you could also be here to share some encouragement for someone else. If that’s a case we have that too!
Helpful Wednesday Prayer Tips
When it comes to pre-written prayers we should be wise and use them in a way that draws us closer to the Lord and not have it make our prayer life cold and stagnant.
We can prevent this by practicing these helpful tips! They work with all kind of pre-written prayers. I hope you find them helpful.
- Read Before You Pray – I encourage you to read the prayer first before just praying. Make sure you understand what the prayer is about and feel comfortable with it.
- Personalize The Prayer – Taking a pre-written prayer and personalizing is an important step for it becoming authentic. Place people, and situations that are dear to you.
- Feel The Prayer – You don’t want to become emotionally unattached when you pray. You want your prayers to come from your heart. The Lord desires prayers of passion and heart. We see this throughout the Word like Hannah’s prayer and what David prayed and sang in the Psalms. God is not afraid of your emotions.
- Let The Prayer Inspire – Take the prayer and let it become a springboard from which you jump from. Use it as inspiration to bring forth a real and authentic prayer before the Lord.
- Feel A Connection – Please, don’t feel like you have to pray a pre-written prayer if you don’t feel like it resonates or connects. You may be in a different season in life.
- Holy Spirit Help – Before you start praying ask the Holy Spirit to lead your time with Him. Ask Him to bring things to your attention that need prayer. He will remind you of situations and people that need prayer.
- All pre-written prayers are tools to teach and inspire us. They should never replace your personal prayer time with Jesus.
