Prayer is absolutely essential to your relationship with God. Without conversation, you don’t have a relationship.
For years I struggled with minor waves of depression. I would go back and forth from being motivated to wanting to quit this life. I remember asking my cat if I could switch him lives for a little while. Don’t get me wrong. It’s not like my life was horrible in anyway. It was just a spirit of depression that seemed to linger over my soul most days.
It wasn’t until I began using these prayer topics on a regular basis that I noticed my attitude seemed to change. My life has been completely different since then and by the grace of God my relationship with Him continues to grow.
Ever noticed how often Jesus went to pray? If the Son of God spent time in prayer, how much more do we!
And it came to pass in those days, that He went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.
Luke 6:12
Here is a quick list of the topics, which I’ll cover more in-depth on the podcast (found below or on your favorite platform; #57 on the Be Still and Run by Alli Anne podcast). Below I also included a sheet from the Why Not Run? Workshop workbook. Feel free to print it and use it for yourself as often as needed.
Love you all, Happy Running!
- DECLARE WHO GOD IS IN YOUR SITUATION
- REMIND YOURSELF OF WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR YOU OR OTHERS IN THE PAST THAT WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO FOCUS ON GOD IN THE SEASON YOU ARE IN.
- REMIND YOURSELF OF PROMISES IN SCRIPTURE THAT APPLY TO YOUR SITUATION, WITHOUT TAKING IT OUT OF CONTEXT.
- IN HUMILITY, ASK JESUS FOR HELP IN YOUR SITUATION.
- THANK GOD FOR THE HOPE YOU HAVE IN CHRIST AS A FOLLOWER OF HIM. THANK HIM FOR THE ULTIMATE VICTORY HE GAVE US OVER THE ENEMY AND SIN THROUGH THE BLOOD OF CHRIST.
- GIVE HIM THANKS FOR THE BLESSINGS IN YOUR LIFE RIGHT NOW.
