To Improve Your Prayer Life Increase Your Praise Life

The surest way to improve your prayer life is to increase your praise life.

The surest way to improve your prayer life is to increase your praise life.

It's no coincidence that Paul said in 1 Thessalonians 5:16 "Rejoice always" right before he said in the next verse (17) "pray without ceasing". When we rejoice and praise the Lord it lifts our spirits into the heavenlies where we have been seated with Christ (Eph 2:6) and the effect is our prayers will begin to bubble up and overflow. Our praise raises up a large swell and as it begins to crest our prayers effortlessly ride the wave. If prayer is difficult for you, you aren't beginning with praise.

Psalms 150:1-2 Praise the LORD! Praise God in His sanctuary; Praise Him in His mighty expanse. (2) Praise Him for His mighty deeds; Praise Him according to His excellent greatness.
