Description

Imagine a weapon in your spiritual arsenal that energizes your spiritual life and jumpstarts your morning prayer time. It's possible You simply need to discover the system upon which to build your spiritual disciplines. In Daily DOSE, you will be introduced to the use of a prayer method built on the acronym "Daily DOSE." This approach to prayer will empower you to reach the goal you have been desiring for so long: a Christ-centered prayer approach that is both achievable, sustainable, and effective. Get ready to take your prayer time with Jesus to the next level For many believers there is a need to learn anew how to pray. The simple truth is many Christians don't know how to pray. There are several reasons for this: they were never taught properly, it wasn't modeled for them, they get bored with prayer, they don't feel like their prayers make any difference, they don't know what to say, and they don't feel any connection with God. For all of us, we do well to remember what the disciples asked Jesus: "Lord, teach us to pray" (Luke 11:1). It is our same request now: "Jesus, today, teach us how to pray." New converts and seasoned saints need to come with open hearts, asking anew that the Spirit of Christ would teach us how to pray. If you are brand new in the Lord, just starting this journey of discipleship, then you need the Daily DOSE because prayer is such an important part of your walk with God. Or if you have been serving God for decades, you need the Daily DOSE because God has a fresh word for you about prayer. So what methodology, what plan do you have in your prayer life? What system do you employ as you are praying to God? What disciplined approach do you utilize? Some may take the spiritual highroad and say, "Well, I don't use any system, any contrived structure based on a formula a person developed - I simply pray." Be that as it may, this book will challenge you to go deeper in your prayer walk. Here is a picture of a believer who does not have a systematic approach to prayer, and see if this describes your situation: - Every morning you wake up and methodically prepare for the day, consistently checking off the items on your morning routine - brushing your teeth, putting on your clothes, gathering up files for work or school, etc. - but you do not consistently have a quality prayer time to start your day. - You can come to the end of a busy day and discover that since waking up you have not prayed a single time in a biblical, purposeful manner. - During the Sunday morning worship service and upon reflecting over the past week, you realize that the last seven days went by without any meaningful, kingdom-focused and Spirit-inspired time of focused prayer. - When you pray, you are more likely to err on the side of tossing out a "quickie" prayer or a rushed prayer filled mainly with requests, rather than on the side of always praying a dynamically balance, holistic prayer that touches on what is important to God. - You really do wish to pray effectively, but you just don't know what to do and frankly, you have pretty much given up and accepted the status quo. So...what is an honest assessment of your prayer life? We know the Bible tells us that we should pray without ceasing, that our lives should be lived constantly in communion with God. That's how our lives should be lived, but it sounds like a tall order for the average believer Yet this is how Jesus lived. Our Lord took time to go away and pray, to be systematic in his approach to prayer. My friend, you and I also need to have that same methodical approach. It is likely one of the most vital steps you will take in your spiritual walk. Through the Daily DOSE, you can discover God's plan for your prayer life
