I woke up at 5am feeling weary and began meditating on Psalm 23:1-2. Right after praying this Psalm, I checked my RUclips page and this video was recommended. God works in mysterious ways. It was a light bulb moment
God does work in mysterious way. But what you are describing is looking for meaning in something that isn’t even clearly an unusual occurrence. You were praying then opened RUclips so you noticed the video. But on other times you may not have noticed it since you weren’t thinking about it. The point is that this is borderline superstition to look for signs such as recommended videos. What if the video wasn’t suggested when you went on RUclips? What would that mean? That God does not exist? Obviously it wouldn’t mean that, but if you expect for random signs from God after prayer such as a video suggestion the logic would suggest that if you didn’t see it that God does not care.
@@rainythoughts4832 Read or Listen to the psalm over and over again and ask God to let it sink in, even if you have to read it slowly to make sure you’re catching everything that is being said
To spark up your prayer life: - pray the psalms - say the lords prayer - sing a hymn - confess your sins - pray for strength not to yield to temptation - pray for your personal sanctification
Praying the scriptures is the best type of prayer because we are using God's very word in prayer. This is how our pastor has taught us to pray at church. So I did exactly as he advised immediately when the video ended. I wondered about which Psalm to read and Psalm 41 came to me and as I opened the Bible, it opened exactly to Psalm 41 and it was just the very prayer I needed for me and my mum.
I'm 18 years, I always looked for someone that understands me and i can follow. Finally after 18 years I understood that I was looking for god. I started praying when I saw this video some months ago and my life is better in every possible angle. Thank you for you time and art. You literally change the way i see life. Thank you!
Gods word does not come back void! Praying the word is wise counsel! Just don`t make it impersonal, always from the heart! Also start out with worship! I find that when I lift up my voice to God and sing worship to Him first. It helps me get out of my self, and puts my heart and mind on Him! God Bless!
I did that this morning with 1 Corinthians 13:4-8. It made me repent, intercede for my family members and the world at large. It was amazing. I felt so good.
I had to listen from 5:09 onwards over and over again. There is nothing more profound than a pastor being openly candid about this struggle of Christian living, it makes me feel like i am not alone in this. May the Lord use the Fire of His Word to melt this cold heart.Amen
Prayer is a powerful weapon against the enemy. The enemy doesn't want us to be close to God. But I don't care about the enemy. I care to enjoy the Holy Spirit within me. He is the one to direct me to pray. And my prayer has been made Yes and Amen! God bless us all!
I remember one night I wanted to pray about a problem I was having and I prayed the 23 psalm around my problem and I got an answer to my problem that night . The answer to my problem just came into my mind .
This is genius! I struggle with pray as I just feel like I'm not good at it. My mind is all over the place and I find I repeat things over and over. I'm going to try this today! Thank you and God Bless!
I needed this ,I had noticed being new in my Faith and prayerlife I was being repetitive ,and in the nick of time the lord provided this clip. All the Glory belongs to you my God.Amen
You have to come to the throne of God with singing, joy, and thanksgiving!! Knowing with Confidence that he hears you and what you repent from. Make your time with God fun!! When you began to feel his glory, you’ll never want to leave his presence. It the BEST peaceful, healing, feeling EVER! Love you all ❤️❤️
I have to say that something I’ve noticed in my own prayer efforts is that when I get in that “groove” so to speak, suddenly even my verbiage changes and even if my words are not necessarily quoting scripture - which does happen even without me realizing it at times - my words sound almost biblical just in the way that they come out, and when that happens the floodgates seem to open and prayer becomes - for lack of a better term - effortless. so when he said “pray the Bible” as in use the words of scripture and apply them to your situation I immediately see how that can and will be extremely helpful to myself and others watching. God bless everyone and may this Passover season be the blessing and revelation of your life
ive been struggling with anxiety before i pray its weird. i have a lazy spirit as well but at leasr when i pray its not boring. i start with worship music i walk around my house and start praising and clapping and worshipping him then i thank Him then i ask for blessings for my family and friends then make my request. Good worship music is key. i recommend 20 minutes of praise, a singer by the name of zacardi cortez, old worship songs like we exalt thee, the blood of Jesus etc. trust me u will not be bored after these songs get in your spirit
One thing that always helps me is listening to worship music. It sets the mood for me. Many times I find myself forgetting about my needs and all I do is sing to Him. The Word is alive and active and this method, which I have used too is a great idea. The key is to not give up and be consistence.
When you know god is listening and answering and when you see the answers down the road you will never be bored. And he is listening and talking to your spirit you just have to realise and pour your heart at his feet ❣
Love this methodology. I fell asleep 😴 for 2 hrs. in ATTEMPTING TO pray. Got up and knees in pain and went back to bed. Lord please forgive me, I need an intentional fervent prayer life. Definitely will try this method.
Great response. I also recommend listening to audio Psalms when you are on the go and praying along with them. Powerful, they sharpen our minds and guard us from all unrighteousness.
Now I know why YESHUAH approached the local people through simple narrations, stories and proverbs because it is the easiest way to teach them. And same idea still works out. Thank you sir. Shalom.. Shalom.. Shalom
Thank You Lord Jesus, for discovering this blessed brother's advice today, all the way from Greece...I needed this reminder and Jesus touched me so much, as I was asking Him to help me with my prayer!! Halleluia! Thank you! Be blessed!
Please agree with me in the deliverance of my Daughter, her Husband, my Son and his girlfriend. They need immediate deliverance and rescue. In Jesus' MIGHTY Name. AMEN
Me I prefer to improve my obedience to God, obedience is the real prayer.obedience leads to meditation then meditation leads to spiritual maturity.maturity makes one to direct his energy or her energy to God.then prayer becomes a life_style.prayer is not about uttering words but how much you think about God in your heart
I am a babe in Christ and I have been struggling with praying to a point that I was getting anxious and frustrated. God has truly answered my prayer this week by presenting this video to me. Thank you so much!
God blessed me with supernatural prayer language(Tongues) when i don't feel to pray i speak in tongues first and then after few minutes im starting to feel the quickening within me and i when i start to pray in my own language/understanding words are starting to pop in my mind.that is why in scripture said the Holy spirit will teach us what and how to pray when we dont know what to pray, when your flesh is weak the spirit will help us.
Leni&Lana Amin I'm sorry but there is no such thing in the Bible as "supernatural prayer languages." The tongues spoken of in Acts 2 and 1 Corinthians were real, human languages, not supernatural prayer languages.
@@reformedwretch2071 There are different types of tongue(S) 1.Tongues of angels (1 Cor. 13:1) 2.tongues of men/human languages- example:The Day of Pentecost Acts 2:1-4 Acts 2:4 3.

Lord, make me a channel of your peace.....prayer is the one time i need to increase my relationship with God. These past few.days has been on my mind and just started reading the bible. Stumbling on this i think God has answered me.
I never forget him who taught me pray through Psalms. Yes, my prayer life is more and more improving. I give appreciation to Dr. Whitney for his gifted ministry for the glory of God.
Speaking in tongues requires an interpreter. How do you know it’s super helpful to pray in tongues if you don’t know what you are saying while praying in tongues?
It's not about improving prayer its to be cherished to have that time for an honest conversation with our gracious HEAVENLY FATHER and thank him for his love for us in giving his son The gracious LORD JESUS. As long as your honest humble grateful our loving HEAVENLY FATHER will gladly listen and guide us in life.
I have been struggling for the last 6 weeks with my prayer life. It's never happened like this before. It's Sabbath now and I came to youtube to listen to some good teaching of the Word. This video just seemed to pop up out of nowhere in cyberspace. I feel the burden of my boring prayers being lifted. Thank you, Jesus.
@@josecantinflas6286 he 7th day Sabbath. Since listening to Dr Whitney's suggestion and turning to Psalms, my prayers have broadened. I don't just read my prayer list. I've also returned to talking with my heavenly Father during the day. That really keeps me connected.
I would also say that a constant theme of scripture is persistence in prayer. Jacob and how he wrestled with the Lord is a perfect example of contending with the Lord in prayer and not letting go until He blesses us.
Thank you so much. Praying with scripture, so obviose and simple yet powerful, I believe this will be life changing. Ive been aiming to pray daily, but yes quickly was feeling stuck and my concentration wouldn't stick around for long! This is an answere to prayer about my prayers! Lol!
I tried this kind of praying yesterday with psalms 34 and it was powerful and not boring. I really like your advise and the way you speak plainly. God bless u
This is a great suggestion! It makes complete sense to use God’s living word to add life to our prayers. Eager to incorporate this method. Thank you, God!
The day that I consecrated my life to God and turned away from ALL sin is the day that my prayers began to be answered. "Come close to Me [obedience] and I will come close to you."
I was SHOOK when he said he doesn't ever really wake up feeling like praying. SHOOK. Because I thought it was just me, and the fact that I'm new at praying. But even him too! Meaning our hearts are truly despretely wicked and only the Lord God knows it!! Before I pray I write down things I should focus on that day. Let if it's the holliness of God then I write Exodus 15:11 or if I want to focus on God's grace I'd write Ephesians 2:8. And I pray and thank God with the versus. It helps alot 👌 Ngl!
Thank you for this message. This opens up a whole new facet to me in my search for a closer life with God and His Son my Savior. Thank you, and may God Bless you sir.
I really appreciate his honesty which helps me to connect with what he's saying. Too many plastic Christians out there that have made me feel like I had to put up a perfect front. That's not what church should feel like.
Thank you . I am on a seven days fasting and praying and on my 4 day I was not feeling to pray . This popped up on my phone like what . Just want to say thank you and I did learn a new thing . ❤️ never heard of you before but it think god know what I needed at the right time . Just when I felt like nothing he send something.
Wow I will not look at the 23rd Psalm the same...Wow... Thank you man of God for being used and moved by the Holy Spirit to share direction and instruction. Bless You!
Thank u for this video it’s encouraged me and helped me , I even realised what I read this morning and I actually prayed the scripture when Job had lost his son He tore his clothes and turned to God ,and praised God.His confession and heart didn’t change because of the circumstance of his life.
Wow, how this has helped me!!! Thank you so much!!!! I often felt guilty because it was boring and I often dread it, but at the same time desire it!!!! I am glad I went searching for something because I surely found it!!!! Thank You!!!!
Thank you so much! I think this is and excellent idea. I have been a Christian most of my life and I pray "without ceasing" as stated by the Apostle Paul. I know this idea about praying will help me! God bless you sir. 🙏🙏🙏
AMEN!!! ITS amazing because today I did exactly that I prayed Psalm 7. First time I've ever done it. Then this video pops up... Cool. It works also. David was a man of prayer. Everything by prayer. God bless you all.🔥🔥🔥
I am thankful for a New Year. Also thankful for one more day. A men’s prayer group i attend uses this method from time to time. It is helpful. Be strong and courageous.
My eyes were so wide watching this. What great advice. So simple -- why didn't I think of that? I've heard of praying the Bible, but I didn't think of stopping and making it my own along the way. Big sigh. Thank you so very much. Almost every day since 1985 is indeed a highly doable recommendation.
Thank you so much. This is the best recommendation I have ever read. Words don't come easy sometimes when you are going through the valley. Pray the word of God🙏
This is very helpful honestly. I haven’t tried yet but I’ve been struggling in my prayer life for a while now, honestly I believe this is the Lord helping me. Thank You ABBA Father❤️ glory be to You☺️in Jesus mighty name I pray. Amen❤️
Also you can start blessing other people and remembering them in your prayers. Especially World leaders, church leaders, pastors, bosses, parents, etc etc
Thank you for this, I was only just speaking to my friend in Switzerland about my desire to pray going away, then this appeared in my feed. Thank you lord...much love to you all from England
I’m in the book of Ezekiel now and I will start praying about our nation. That God will help our nation and keep us from ever being in such a terrible predicament as the people of Israel were in those days. I ask God to keep us from being invaded by our enemies and that we would as a nation turn away from idols and worship the real God through Jesus Christ our savior.
oooooh thank you so much, I started doing that this previous week and it's so powerful am enjoying my prayer so was saying to myself is this real am I not cheating ,am so happy 😊
Dr.Whitney is it a struggle to pray because of our personality, sin nature and satan trying to hold us back from trusting and praying to the Lord to ask for His help, prayer for others and guidance and praise to Him. I seem to be able to talk inwardly to Him more then out loud. I love your down to earth approach in teaching and explaining. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
From Canada and recently God directed me to Southern Seminary site as I was checking on prayer and as I checked it out I got a great desire to listen to more and another great ministry and wonderful honest Godly Professors. Thank You and God Bless from NS Canada 🇨🇦🇮🇱😕🇺🇸✝️✡️

He tore his clothes and turned to God ,and praised God.His confession and heart didn’t change because of the circumstance of his life.
Wow, how this has helped me!!! Thank you so much!!!! I often felt guilty because it was boring and I often dread it, but at the same time desire it!!!! I am glad I went searching for something because I surely found it!!!! Thank You!!!!
I love this guy! He keeps it simple. Very helpful.
It is so true praying with the scriptures works.
Thank you so much! I think this is and excellent idea. I have been a Christian most of my life and I pray "without ceasing" as stated by the Apostle Paul. I know this idea about praying will help me! God bless you sir. 🙏🙏🙏
AMEN!!! ITS amazing because today I did exactly that I prayed Psalm 7. First time I've ever done it. Then this video pops up... Cool. It works also. David was a man of prayer. Everything by prayer. God bless you all.🔥🔥🔥
I am thankful for a New Year. Also thankful for one more day.
A men’s prayer group i attend uses this method from time to time. It is helpful.
Be strong and courageous.
My eyes were so wide watching this. What great advice. So simple -- why didn't I think of that? I've heard of praying the Bible, but I didn't think of stopping and making it my own along the way. Big sigh. Thank you so very much. Almost every day since 1985 is indeed a highly doable recommendation.
I learned to pray the word of of God today blessed be His holy name for this revelation❤
I pray all day long every day, I love it.
Thank you so much. This is the best recommendation I have ever read. Words don't come easy sometimes when you are going through the valley. Pray the word of God🙏
Thank you so much for this video. I was getting frustrated in my prayer life. This message was powerful and straight to the point.
Peace an blessings.
This is very helpful honestly. I haven’t tried yet but I’ve been struggling in my prayer life for a while now, honestly I believe this is the Lord helping me. Thank You ABBA Father❤️ glory be to You☺️in Jesus mighty name I pray. Amen❤️
AMEN! Praise the Lord thank you Pastor Donald Whitney.
So true. When we pray God's word we tend to pray according to His will.
Thank you for sharing and giving practical example of how to improve my prayer life. I actually just prayed now.
Also you can start blessing other people and remembering them in your prayers. Especially World leaders, church leaders, pastors, bosses, parents, etc etc
Thank you very much .Dr Donald Whitney for sharing psalms prayer .
Thank you for this, I was only just speaking to my friend in Switzerland about my desire to pray going away, then this appeared in my feed. Thank you lord...much love to you all from England
I’m in the book of Ezekiel now and I will start praying about our nation. That God will help our nation and keep us from ever being in such a terrible predicament as the people of Israel were in those days.
I ask God to keep us from being invaded by our enemies and that we would as a nation turn away from idols and worship the real God through Jesus Christ our savior.
I appreciate and admire the honesty in this video. This was very encouraging and helpful and I will definitely be adopting this practice.
Righteous earning and living and worship improves prayer acceptance from God.
Iam doing ministerministry in Himachal Pradesh. Iam so ballesing this video thankyou so much sir.👍👍👍👍
oooooh thank you so much, I started doing that this previous week and it's so powerful am enjoying my prayer so was saying to myself is this real am I not cheating ,am so happy 😊
❤️
Dr.Whitney is it a struggle to pray because of our personality, sin nature and satan trying to hold us back from trusting and praying to the Lord to ask for His help, prayer for others and guidance and praise to Him. I seem to be able to talk inwardly to Him more then out loud. I love your down to earth approach in teaching and explaining. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
you know my favourite thing about praying to god.... the silence!
From Canada and recently God directed me to Southern Seminary site as I was checking on prayer and as I checked it out I got a great desire to listen to more and another great ministry and wonderful honest Godly Professors. Thank You and God Bless from NS Canada 🇨🇦🇮🇱😕🇺🇸✝️✡️
