HELP PASTOR, ANY TIME I TRY TO WAKE UP AND BE CONSISTENT IN PRAYERS I FIND IT DIFFICULT, WHAT CAN I DO?
Building consistency in our Spiritual walk with God is not an event but a process
Sometimes, some of my protegees and friends will say P.Daniel please tell me how many hours you pray a day, some will say before you preach how many hours do you spend.
I laughed, well I didn't start that prayer life today, it started in 2009, so it is not wise to start from what I do now but build your own process.
Don't copy a man's product, copy his process.
*
I won't lie to you, sometimes, I miss my prayer and study time, sometimes I sleep off, sometimes I try midnight prayers, I just do off, Sometimes I sleep off while reading my Bible, sometimes the bible no dey enter at all*.
Sir, if I tell you I pray practically throughout the whole day now, glory to God but that doesn't mean there are days I find it difficult to mutter tongue. Hmm
The reason why we find it difficult to build a consistent relationship is that we are too rigid, and are not flexible, we also try to start from the big goals e.g. 5 hours tongues daily, 3 hours bible study daily.
Bros na lie( since you have been doing New Year resolution how many times have you achieved it).
The process is simple
So keep your goals simple and let it grow
Sir, I started from 1-hour prayers daily to 2 hours, to 3 hours to sometimes (4, 5 up till 14 hours (NOTE NOT DAILY OH BUT SOMETIMES)
All these in the space of years oh.'
Please don't try to say I will do 10 hours daily, it won't fly
Take it little by little and celebrate your small success
For say for the next 21 days, I will do 1 hour daily in tongues and 30 minutes in the word, then Stick to it and be consistent.
Celebrate the victory, then let it grow to more hours gradually,
HEAR ME, 1 HOUR DAILY CONSISTENTLY IS BETTER THAN 6 HOURS ONCE IN A WEEK.
Don't start with I will wake up by 12 daily, start with any time I wake up to urinate, I will pray at least 10 minu
