Nine Steps To Prayer

Dr. E. Stanley Jones was one of the great leaders in Methodism, and as far as I know, the only person ever elected Bishop in the United Methodist Church to decline the office. Dr. Jones wrote much about prayer and the influential role it plays in the life of the Christian. In one of his books he suggests nine

important steps we must take if we are to grow and pray effectively:

1. Decide what you want from prayer.

2. Ask yourself if this object you desire is a Christian object.

3. Write what you want from prayer.

4. Put your mind in a quiet and receptive mood.

5. Talk with God about your need.

6. Promise God how you will work with Him to make this prayer come true.

7. Do everything loving which comes to your mind about it.

8. Thank God for answering the prayer in His way.

9. Release the prayer from the center of your thoughts, committing it to His care.

Dr. Jones writes, “Prayer is not so much an act as an attitude. Prayer is opening the channels from our emptiness to God’s fullness, from our defeat to His victory.”

In Christ,
