Maybe you can relate to being stuck. I mean stuck spiritually, stuck in your relationship with God. I certainly can relate. I know what it feels like to have the spiritual doldrums.<\/p>\n
When I\u2019m stuck spiritually, I have little or no momentum in my walk with Christ. I know he loves me and that I\u2019m going to heaven, but that\u2019s about it. Some people live years suspended in the Christian life. The view is nice enough\u2013they can see God\u2019s kingdom work, they see others moving and growing in their relationships with Christ, and they even have a hope of heaven.<\/p>\n
They\u2019re suspended somewhere between spiritual infancy and becoming a true disciple of Jesus. They\u2019re stuck, and their faith is suffering because of it.<\/p>\n
So, what\u2019s the cure for this spiritual rut? Prayer. That\u2019s right\u2013good, biblical, bended-knee prayer.<\/p>\n
If you want to jolt your life out of its spiritual rut and really begin to see God\u2019s presence and power take hold in your relationships, your job, your ministry, and your own attitudes and actions, then start praying for yourself.<\/p>\n
Even if you\u2019re not good at prayer, even if you feel like you tried prayer and failed miserably, even if you don\u2019t know where or how to start, don\u2019t fret. Prayer is still your answer.<\/p>\n
You really can learn how to change your life through personal prayer. This is a critical point, so let me say it very clearly: the person in your life with the greatest capacity to help or hinder God\u2019s work in you is you.<\/p>\n
You need to be praying for yourself\u2013your heart, your attitudes, your habits, your relationships, your resources, your temptations, and your ministry\u2013because no other person can or will impact God\u2019s kingdom processes in your life as much as you will. For that reason alone, you need to pray every day for yourself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
