Focused prayers

I've changed the address of this blog, and thus its intent, to focused prayer. This is for Christians and others who are tired of feeling their prayers are rote, or that they are just saying words into the air. Prayer is so much more than that. Getting into a place where you can focus your mind and heart, cast away inteferences and really connect with God is vital to effective and powerful prayer.

I've learned the 'tips' that I'm sharing by many years of experience. They work.

When you are praying in church or at home, are you actually also thinking about your shopping list, where you will have Sunday dinner, or any number of other things unrelated to the words you are saying? Most people would agree this is exactly what happens. When we are 'supposed' to be addressing the God of heaven and earth, we are actually thinking of other things....how effective are those prayers? Yes, God knows the thoughts and prayers of our heart, but prayer is so much more than just asking God for things. God is not Santa Claus, or the Wizard of Oz, or even Dr Oz.

In the posts to follow, I will share specific tips you can do...simple and easy-to-follow, that will help your prayer time, your communications with God, enliven your life, put new spark into your faith, and help change your life for God's glory.
