I’m kicking off 21 Days of Prayer on November 10th.
Whether you’re an old hat at prayer, not sure if it works, or your prayer-pants are a little dusty, you’re invited.
Prayer doesn’t need to be complicated or hard. It doesn’t need to be whispered or yelled. It doesn’t need to be accompanied by “amens!” or tears. It’s pretty simple, actually. Prayer is just having a conversation with God. Talking. Listening. Amen.
Some people break up prayer into different categories:
Adoring God
Confessing to God
Thanking God
Asking God for things
For the next 21 days, I’m inviting you to join me in praying. Again: doesn’t have to be fancy or feel holy. Maybe it will–but it doesn’t have to. To jump-start us, I’ve made a topic for each day. I’ll be posting the prayer topics daily (as long as I have wifi) on instagram @natingale as well as on facebook. Here’s the list.
