One of the top 10's on most Christian's New Year's Resolution lists is to pray more.
Need help in exploring how to spice up your prayer life? Read on:

1.) Determine to work at prayer. Prayer is aggressive, not passive:

"During the days of Jesus' life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission." Hebrews 5:7

"Night and day we pray most earnestly that we may see you again and supply what is lacking in your faith." 1 Thess. 3:10

"Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful." Colossians 4:2

"Epaphras, who is one of you and a servant of Christ Jesus, sends greetings. He is always wrestling in prayer for you, that you may stand firm in all the will of God, mature and fully assured" Colossians 4:12

2.) Use all means to engage in prayer - stand, walk, move, speak...

3.) Pray every morning and every night. Set a time and a place:

"Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful." Joshua 1:8

"Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before." Daniel 6:10

"May my prayer be set before you like incense;may the lifting up of my hands be like the evening sacrifice." Ps. 141:2

4.) Pray to God. Develop a picture in your mind and address the Lord, so you become more comfortable in the heavenly places so that you feel as though your citizenship changes from earth to Heaven.

5.) Pray the Bible. Learn the language of the Spirit to express your heart:

"This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words." 1 Corinthians 2:13

Begin to pray actual Bible verses and chapters phrase by phrase, slowly and repetitively:

"Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful." Joshua 1:8

Make the Word the foundation of your prayer either for yourself or in intercession.
