Do you ever feel like prayer is more of a chore than a conversation? Or maybe you struggle to connect with God and don’t really enjoy prayer at all? You're not alone! Many of us were never taught the key element that can make prayer truly life-changing.
In this video, we share the one simple shift in mindset that can transform your prayer life from routine repetition into a real, personal relationship with God. When prayer becomes more than just words, it becomes a living relationship with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Whether you’ve been praying for years or are just starting, these practical tips will help you make prayer more personal, more meaningful, and more fulfilling. Edmund walks you through some simple ways to build a relationship with Jesus, including:
1. Spending time in silence and His presence
2. Journaling about Jesus' life and personality
3. Reflecting on artwork of Jesus that moves you
4. Creating a history with God by sharing your thoughts and emotions daily
Above all, learn how to let prayer be an ongoing conversation with God, where you listen as much as you speak. This one shift can change everything you know about prayer, and open the door to a deeper, richer connection with God.
