What does your personal prayer life look like? Does prayer happen daily or only as needed? Has it changed at all over time? Matthew Kelly offers some points to consider for those who would like to improve their prayer life.

Six Seismic Spiritual Shifts Regarding Prayer presented by Matthew Kelly

1. Just be open to beginning a conversation with God.

2. Ask God what He wants and especially ask for direction instead of material things.

3. Give yourself to prayer – Let God do what He wants to do.

4. Transform everything into prayer offering everything that we do as acts of prayer to God.

5. Make myself available to God by consecrating myself to Him in the Eucharist.

6. Just keep showing up no matter what. It is all about what God is doing to us and in us.

Trust – Surrender – Believe – Receive

Making this kind of prayer a priority in your day will change your life. Giving God a chance to speak to your heart will provide the opportunity for Him to give you an experience of His peace and His perspective. Give yourself this gift and see what difference it makes!
