I love praying for prayer request because God moves when His people pray.
How are you supposed to get to know and have a relationship with Christ if you never read his word and pray? I have spoken on this topic before and I want to encourge Christians that have trouble reading their Bible to start small. Read one chapter a day. That will take less then ten minutes to read over. We can learn something for the entire scripture. Find a time to read. I like reading when I wake up and before I go to bed because I leave my Bible right there. I suggest to new readers to start in 1 John because you will be done with the book quick and it will leave a strong foundation for the rest of the Bible. God reveals everything about Himself through His word and in talking with us through prayer. Prayer is easier than most think it is. We have a tendicy to feel like we don't know how to pray but when troubles cool or you face a really big test prayer comes easy. When I pray I usually try to praise God first. I like how God responds to Job's complaits in Job 39-40. He continues to ask Job throughout the chapters about Job's greatness compared to His. We can always find ways praise God. Then I begin to thank God for things. This list also can go on for as long as I like. God has blessed everyone, even with just a new day. The sun coming up is a tremondius blessing that He has given us. After thanksgiving I pray for others. I love praying for prayer request because God moves when His people pray. Finally, I ask for things I want and need.
