Do you feel like your prayer is working?
In this episode of The Catholic Gentleman, John Heinen, Devin Schadt and Sam Guzman discuss why prayer is a challenge for our modern minds. They give a road map for prayer—one that you can commit to, expand from and stick with every day!
Here are their three simple steps to revitalize your prayer life:
1. Start A Routine
In our busy lives, just setting aside dedicated time for prayer can really make all the difference. Devin Schadt reminds that “God has created us to fly, to soar, to have power, to really do great things, and yet the fuel, which is prayer, we don’t access.” He says establishing a structured routine acts as the fuel that powers your spiritual life.
2. Be Consistent
Consistency is key when it comes to prayer. Start small, always be patient with yourself and remember that progress doesn’t happen overnight. Sam suggests “all good things in life take time, and I think we need to stop seeking quick fixes, instant results, instant gratification.” By being intentional about our prayers, they will become more meaningful and impactful.
3. Embrace God’s Grace
By committing to daily prayer, you open yourself to God’s grace, allowing Him to work in you and through you. John Heinen shares that “it’s going to happen by, most importantly, that relationship with God—with Christ, with our Blessed Mother, with St. Joseph, and all the saints and angels—that is what’s going to make you great.” He says daily prayer will bring a deep sense of peace and purpose to your life.
The gentlemen explain that by following these steps, you can reconnect with God and find greater fulfillment in your spiritual life!
“Lord, hear our prayer” 🙏
