Why Become a Woman of Prayer?
Sweet sisters, yesterday we talked about the importance of reading our Bibles every day—to know God, to hear His voice, and to grow closer to Him. Today, let’s talk about the other side of that beautiful relationship: prayer.
We cannot live without prayer.
To neglect prayer is to send the message, even unknowingly, that “I don’t need God.”
But we do need Him—for every breath, every step, every decision. Prayer is our lifeline. It’s how we connect our hearts to heaven.
When you wake up in the morning, let your first words be:
“Good morning, Heavenly Father. Good morning, Lord Jesus. Good morning, Holy Spirit.”
Welcome Him into your day.
Then, worship Him in spirit and in truth.
Remember who He is. He is holy, faithful, mighty, loving, and merciful.
Count your blessings.
“Thank You for this day. Thank You for the breath in my lungs.
Thank You for Your promises—that You are with me, You will never leave me, and You are working all things together for my good.”
Bring your heart before Him.
“Forgive me, Lord, for anything I’ve done that was not of You.
Cleanse me from anything done in the flesh, without faith.
Give me a pure heart and clean hands today so that I can serve You well.”
Because He is faithful and just to forgive you and cleanse you from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9)
Ask Him for strength.
“Whatever my hands find to do today, help me do it with all my heart for Your glory.
Let my words be seasoned with grace.
Let me shine with Your light, Lord, so others may know You are real—because I know You are real.”
Speak Scripture in your prayers—declare His Word!
•“Lord, enlighten the eyes of my heart so that I may know the hope of Your calling.” (Ephesians 1:18)
•“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.” (Psalm 51:10)
•“The Lord is my strength and my shield; in Him my heart trusts, and I am helped.” (Psalm 28:7)
•“Lead me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation.” (Psalm 25:5)
Sisters, becoming a woman of prayer doesn’t mean you have to have fancy words or long hours of silence. It simply means you live in constant communion with your Savior. He is listening. He delights in your voice. He longs to walk through the day with you.
Let prayer become your breath, your strength, your joy, your peace.
Be a woman who knows how to fight on her knees.
Be a woman who hears God because she spends time with Him.
Be a woman whose faith cannot be shaken, because she abides in prayer.
Prayer: Becoming a Woman of Prayer
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for this new day. Thank You for the breath in my lungs, for Your unfailing love, and for Your mercies that are new every morning.
We come before You as Your daughters, hungry to know You more. Teach us to be women of prayer—women who run to You first, not last. Help us to live every moment in communion with You, leaning not on our own understanding, but trusting in Your heart.
Forgive us for the times we’ve tried to do things in our own strength. Cleanse us, renew us, and purify our hearts. Create in us a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within us.
Fill us with Your Holy Spirit. Strengthen our hands for the work ahead. Let our words be seasoned with grace and our actions reflect Your love. Let Your light shine through us so clearly that others see You in everything we do.
Lord, teach us to pray with confidence, to speak Your Word boldly over our lives and our families. Let Scripture flow from our lips and anchor our hearts. Help us to fight our battles in prayer and to walk in peace knowing that You are with us.
We love You. We need You. We welcome You into every part of our day.
Make us women of unshakable faith, rooted in prayer and radiant with Your presence.
In Jesus’ holy name,
Amen.
A Simple Way I Stay Focused in Prayer
Hi sisters, I just wanted to share something that really helps me stay focused when I pray—especially on days when my thoughts feel scattered.
I keep a prayer list.
I start by writing down the names of all my family members, and I pray for them one by one.
After I pray for my family, I always pray for my church family and my church.
I ask the Lord to grow our church—not just in numbers, but with new converts and new believers that we can minister to and disciple.
I pray for the spiritual health of everyone at church—that we would be strong in faith, full of love, walking in unity, and grounded in God’s Word.
I also lift up our different ministries and all the leaders, and I always ask for God’s heart and vision to guide us.
Then, I move on to other areas that are on my heart, like:
•Our country and its leaders
•Police officers in my area
•People who are sick and in need of God’s healing touch
•My neighborhood and any situations happening around me
•The pro-life movement
•Any burdens or prayer requests I’ve heard about
If you give me a prayer request, I’ll add it to my list too.
And I love to end my prayer time by standing on God’s promises and worshiping Him.
Next to each item, I’ll write keywords or phrases to help me remember what to pray for. When I come across a Scripture that fits, I add it there too—so I’m praying God’s Word over each need.
This little system keeps me focused and intentional in prayer. It really helps, especially when distractions creep in (perfect for anyone who struggles with ADHD or ADD like me).
Just a little tip that works for me—maybe it’ll bless you too!
