How I Really Pray🙏🏾
Eight years ago when I decided to really bet on God… even though I grew up in church, I honestly didn’t know how to read the Bible for myself.
So what did I do? 😭
I would literally flip to a random page and read whatever my eyes landed on like, “Okay God… this must be it.”
This little skit is basically baby-faith me.
Now, eight years later, after learning from trusted Bible teachers, understanding how Scripture is actually structured, and letting the Holy Spirit teach me everything makes so much more sense.
Of course, I talk more about that journey in my Bet on God book.
If this feels like you (especially if you’re lowkey just flipping pages too), DM me. You’re not alone. #gospelspreader #biblereading #prayerlife
When I first started my journey into intentional prayer, I felt like many do—lost and unsure how to truly connect with God through Scripture. I remember the desperation of flipping randomly through the Bible, hoping for a message tailored just for me. This experience is more common than many admit, and it shows how important it is to develop a consistent approach to Bible reading and prayer. Over the years, I’ve learned that effective prayer isn’t just about finding random verses; it’s about building a relationship with God through understanding His Word and allowing the Holy Spirit to guide us. Engaging with trusted Bible teachers helped me grasp the context and structure of Scripture, which made my prayers more focused and heartfelt. For anyone who struggles with prayer, I recommend starting with a simple plan: choose a book of the Bible, read a small passage daily, and reflect on its meaning. Letting the Holy Spirit lead your thoughts during prayer turns reading into a conversation, rather than just a task. Incorporating this practice gradually transformed my faith. Instead of guessing or hoping for a sign, I found clarity and peace in a consistent prayer life. The key advice I share with friends is to be patient and open. Sometimes, prayer means sitting quietly and listening rather than speaking. If this journey sounds familiar, know that you are not alone. Prayer can evolve, and with commitment, anyone can move from flipping through pages to praying with purpose and confidence. The transformation comes step-by-step—trust the process and let your heart seek God's guidance every day.
BET!!!
