Why Prayer Feels Boring (How to fix it)
In this episode of Sunday Morning Matcha, we dive into the true purpose of prayer—aligning our will with God's. We explore why prayer can sometimes feel boring or frustrating, especially when we don’t receive instant answers. Through biblical examples, we see how God's timing is perfect, even if it takes years for His plans to unfold.
We also discuss five practical ways to revitalize your prayer life: eliminating distractions, actively engaging in prayer, remembering God’s names and attributes, and asking the Holy Spirit for guidance. Additionally, we explore the power of praying scripture, ensuring our prayers align with God’s will.
If you’ve ever struggled with prayer or felt like God was silent, this episode will encourage you to stay faithful, trust in His plan, and deepen your relationship with Him.
John 17:23–26
"I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me. Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world. O righteous Father, even though the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me. I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them."
