THE PRAYER WHEELINSTRUCTIONS: The Prayer Wheel is divided into 8 simple steps so you can learn to increase the quality and amount of time you spend in daily prayer. Prayer is powerful, relational, and aligns our hearts with God’s. If prayer is new to you, start with one minute per section and work your way up.

Declare your love and respect of God. What is it about Him that you know, love, and admire? Tell Him. Pick specific things. Check out vineyardcincinnati.com/pray. Use worship music and sing if it helps.

This one is slightly different than praise and

worship. Think about some specific things He has done that

you appreciate. Say “thank you” for those things.

Talk to the Lord about your personal needs. What’s going on in your life?

Where do you need His help?

Talk to the Lord about the needs of others. Pray for friends, enemies, family members, church leaders, current events, neighbors, government leaders, etc.

Talk to God about your

failures… your sin. Agree with God

about your guilt. Be specific. Ask God to

forgive you and receive His forgiveness. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you identify areas that

need improvement.

We receive forgiveness from God and we extend forgiveness to others. Sometimes we suffer from the sin of others. Is there hurt, anger, or bitterness? Forgive-ness sets YOU free. Name the person, the situation, and

how it made you feel. Then choose to

forgive.

If this is new to you,

start by reading one chapter each day.

Check out project345.com. Spend a few moments thinking

about what you just read and how it applies to your life. Mix it up sometimes by memorizing a verse that you find meaningful.

Shhh. Be quiet & listen. God speaks

to us primarily by His word (Bible). He also speaks to us

by His Spirit. God speaks to His children & gives thoughts and

ideas. You likely won’t hear an audible voice, but

over time you can learn to recognize

when God is speaking.
