What is keeping you from being consistent in prayer?

interesting things are happening all the time around the world. What if you knew, you held the power to effect changes in nations, governments, local councils, schools, neighborhood and many more, right in your mouth, how will that change the way you pray?

Hindrance to prayer

There are many things that hinder people from praying. Sometimes we can either relax on prayer or leave everything to chance; hoping somehow, it will work itself out. For some, not knowing how to pray or what to pray for has become the greatest barrier to prayer. For others, finding time to pray, or just feeling beat down and battered, keep them from praying. Yet, we are ALL called to pray always with all kinds of prayer for everyone. According to (Eph. 6:18); Paul admonishes us to, “Pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.” The power of prayer does not lie in our ability to pray effectively but the Holy Spirit’s ability to pray through us as yielded vessels. A great way to get started is to pray for the needs of others.

Prayer is not a tedious task
You never pray without your helper – the Holy Spirit, He makes prayer interesting, rewarding and exciting. Relying on the Holy Spirit is awesome and incredible; he tells you what to pray and helps you pray when you have no idea what to say. He helps you in times of  weakness. Sometimes your spirit is willing but every other part of your body and mind are weak. This is typical for many of us, but “The [Holy] Spirit comes to our aid and bears us up in our weaknesses; for we do not know what prayer to offer nor how to offer it worthily as we ought, but the Spirit Himself goes to meet our supplication and pleads in our behalf with unspeakable yearnings and groanings too deep for utterance (Romans 8: 26).”

Thus, there is no limit with Holy Spirit, the limit is with us. All he wants is a vessel He can direct and one that will obey. Your prayer is as effective as your yielding to the flow of the Holy Spirit. We should always depend on the Holy Spirit even when we already know what we want to pray for; be it yourself, family, friends or any situation-you still need help from the Holy Spirit to prevail in prayer. This is by no means difficult, it comes by simply asking him for help when you prayer.

Praying in the spirit- builds up your faith (JUDE 1:20 NKJ)
But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit majors in
Holy Spirit reveals the mysteries of God to you. But God has revealed it to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God (1Cor 2:10-11).

Praying with the Holy Spirit- your teacher

He will teach and remind you of all things. John 14:26, But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. He will take what belongs to Jesus and makes it known to us.

Praying- The Holy Spirit – your guide

Holy Spirit is a spirit of wisdom and revelation and reveals who Jesus is. JOHN (15:26) states  “When the Comforter comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father, he will testify about me.”

Holy Spirit is your constant companion and comforter. “If you love me you will obey what I command.  “And I will ask the Father and He will give you another Comforter to be with you forever – the Spirit of Truth (JOHN 14:15-17).”  The world cannot accept him because it neither sees him nor knows him.  But you know him for he lives with you and will be in you.
