Radio Head: How to Pray Effectively
Yesterday I prayed about my frustration, asking God to change my attitude. A split second later, I was mentally onto the next problem. I realized I was like those people who dominate conversations—I wasn't letting God get a word in. Our minds operate like radios stuck between stations, full of static.

Raving & Praying = Prayer Over Complaining
I'm pretty sure my animated discussions with thin air could land me a spot on the improv mime team.

Delaying Not Praying: Immediate Prayer Benefits | Devotional
Thomas à Kempis warned that delaying prayer blocks heavenly consolation. Like a desert traveler who drinks immediately upon finding water, we should turn to prayer without hesitation when our souls feel parched. Scripture calls us to seek God while He may be found. When we postpone prayer, we choose spiritual dehydration while living water flows nearby. Prayer should be our first response, not our last resort, positioning us to receive divine comfort and strength.
