5-Day Prayer Challenge

This FREE Community Challenge begins June 23!

Find Your Zeal for Prayer by Going Back to Basics

The Diligent Woman is hosting a 5-Day Prayer Challenge right here in The Diligent Woman Substack.

Would you like to put some energy into your prayer life? The 5-Day Prayer Challenge will help you do just that!

Guilt and doubt get in the way sometimes. Guilt over not praying enough, not knowing how to pray, not feeling “righteous” enough to pray - you insert whatever guilt-driven barrier you can think of. Doubt from not trusting you will maintain the habit, not knowing if God will hear you, not being certain God wants to hear what you might want to pray about - you insert whatever doubt that has made you STOP praying in any given moment.

Prayer is not meant to be this complicated or hard!

When we overthink it we aren’t praying - we are thinking about praying sometime, someday, somehow. But we are NOT praying. I’m talking to myself here too because I am guilty of doing this myself. I can create a beautiful PLAN to pray - but the execution of said plan…well, that’s where this challenge comes in.

When the disciples watched Jesus praying, they asked that He teach them how to pray (Luke 11:1). This challenge encourages you to learn what they learned and then explore the scriptures to see the different ways prayer can play out.

Each day will go back to basics and encourage you to go deeper.
The challenge will explore how Jesus taught prayer, the different types of prayers, who to pray for, when to pray, and how to use scripture to learn how to pray.

Are you ready?

I've created a variety of tools to use during the challenge -

Several of you asked for checklists, you will have that.
Several asked for forms to follow, you will have that.
Several asked for prompts for what to say, you will have that.

The beauty of it all is you get to CHOOSE what works best for you. Try a tool, then decide if it works well for you. Or ignore the tools all together, and just complete the challenge in your own way. The focus is on getting yourself started doing something that you will continue doing after the challenge is over.

This prayer challenge will remind you of WHY you need to pray.

• It will teach you HOW to pray.

• It will go to scripture to find the words when we feel as though we have nothing new to say.

• If you have questioned whether or not God hears your prayers, this study will answer that question.

• If you feel as though you just don't know how to approach God in a beneficial and confident way - then JOIN US for this 5-day event.
