I'm going to start this by defining prayer.
Prayer is talking to God. Plain and simple. (for more on this click HERE)
I know we have this idea that it needs to be more than that, but truly it isn't. Prayer is far simpler than we allow it to be and yet; I've been a Christian most of my life and I still find myself looking for better ways to have more effective prayer. The answer most often is... just go back to the basics.
Are you reading your bible?
Are you spending time in prayer?
If you feel like God isn't answering your prayers, try writing them down and checking back to see just how many God has answered.
Since I too am often looking for ways to improve my own prayer life. To focus myself on who God is and that He is big enough for all my needs --- and more.
There is so much available to us that can be an inspiration.
Today we'll talk about Devotions.
Hit Amazon or Christian Book. The Global Bookstore at church. Ask your friends. There are so many devotionals out there you could start reading today and not finish. OK... that sounds overwhelming. Let's shine the light on a few standards in one's Christian library. These have stood the test of time and reprints!

And of course....
Anything by the big guns: Charles Swindoll, Max Lucado, Charles Stanley... I don't have enough room to keep typing.
Next.... what's that I hear? Oh, that's good prayer!
