Establishing a Personal Prayer System

For nearly four decades, Senior Pastor Ronnie Floyd has led a congregation of thousands of followers as the leader of the Cross Church. Ronnie Floyd shares his recommendations for living a fulfilling, spiritually-focused life through his books and blogs. In one blog post, he outlines the steps for developing a sound personal prayer system. The ritual of prayer brings believers closer to God and enables them to receive divine support and guidance to manage their lives. Many Christian religious leaders suggest using prayer plans or systems to strengthen a person’s faith and incorporate prayer into their daily routine. Christians can create a prayer list or schedule that organizes the areas of their life where they need clarity. When they sit for prayer, they can use the items on the list as the topic of their conversation with God. Believers can also use schedules to dedicate specific prayer times to members of their family or community. Other useful exercises can be effectively combined with prayer, including fasting, journaling, and reading Bible passages.
