Short, honest prayers at the same small times each day.
TL;DR
- Keep prayers short and honest.
- Tie them to daily cues: wake, lunch, bed.
Scripture to stand on
- Luke 11:1: ‘Lord, teach us to pray.’ It’s okay to learn again.
- Matthew 6:9-13: Use the Lord’s Prayer as a simple framework.
- 1 Thessalonians 5:17: Pray without ceasing—little, often, sincere.
A simple plan
-
Pick three daily cues
Like brushing teeth: wake, meal, bed. Add reminders for each.
-
Use a one‑line format
Address God + need + thanks: ‘Father, help me focus; thanks for breath.’
-
Post one private request
Write one specific need for this week; let trusted friends pray.
-
End each day with the Lord’s Prayer
Pray it slowly; pause one breath between lines.
-
Review on day 7
Note when you prayed, what helped, and one cue you’ll keep next week.
Try this now
- Create one private prayer request and select who can see it.
- Set two daily reminders for short prayers (wake + lunch).
If this is your week…
Days 1–6: keep the three cues. Day 7: review and keep the strongest cue for next week.
When it’s hard
If you miss a cue, pray the next one. Keep it to one sentence to lower the bar.
