Although, sometimes, you might not even know what to say in prayer and how to do it, I get and I have been there many times, in fact the 7 day voice of God challenge I created was born out of this desire, just to help believers develop the passion to listen to GOD while they pray. When you can hear GOD then other things will be easier for you.

I have a testimony about having better sleep patterns after prayers. I discovered it's just a matter of you handling all cares to God in prayers and your mind will be free from worry, then the sleep will come 😊

In this life, I am always grateful to God for showing me the way of prayer. This is an advantage we believers have over the problems encounter. And if there are some kinds of prayer like a 3AM early prayer that helps, then I do it with more expectations of God's intervention. Thank you for the write up

Well, this really spoke to me!


The way you described 3AM as the ‘hour of power’ makes so much sense; just that it is easier said than done. But, I’ve experienced that same peace and clarity when I rise early to pray. Truly, it’s a sacred time where distractions fade and God’s voice becomes clearer. Thank you for reminding us of this powerful discipline! I pray for more grace to abide in prayer.
