Pray continually. (1 Thessalonians 5:17)
As discussed, it takes thirty days to create a new habit or to break an old habit. As you read God’s word everyday, commit to ending your time reading with praying. Praying is simply talking with God. Let God know what is on your heart, what is bugging you, what you are looking forward to, what God is up to in your life, etc.
As you go through your day, pray. Talk with God.
As you encounter challenges, pray.
When something angers you, pray.
When something makes you happy, pray.
When something frustrates you, pray.
When something excites you, pray.
When something stresses you, pray.
When you find nothing to do, pray.
Wow! There are so many opportunities to pray!
The difference between those who succeed at keeping their resolutions and those who don’t is not effort, will, and good intentions. The difference for those who succeed is consistency. Just do it. Keep at it. Do it consistently for thirty days to create a new habit of prayer.
