Here is a guide to help you during your prayer time. You can start by praying for a few minutes on each section.

P - Praise

I will extol the Lord at all times, his praise will always be on my lips.

Psalm 34:1

Spend some time thanking God for who he is and what he’s done in your life.



R - Repent

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

I John 1:9

Take Inventory of your spiritual life:

  • What is hindering me from knowing God in a greater way?
  • What have I put ahead of my relationship with God and how can I let that go?



A - Ask

You do not have, because you do not ask God.

James 4:2

All God asks for is faith. Let’s have the faith to trust and ask him for those things in our life that drag us down.



Y- Yield

I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, in his Word I put my hope.

Psalm 130:5

Sometimes, while communicating with God, we forget to listen. Take some time to just listen to God.
