Most of you won't read his because it has to do with the gospel then why do you call yourself God's children?
The life of a believer., Has little or no grounds without the love of God, then prayer. So many Christians find it very hard and difficult to pray. It is true that prayers are supplications and are a means of communication with God. And it is also true that prayers are a means of edifying our spirit man too (Speaking in tongues to be precise).
The life of a believer is often surrounded by difficulties, life challenges, trials, problems, temptations, and much more downgrading and pitiful situations in life. Why?
This is because the day we decided to follow Jesus, we became enemies to the enemy (the devil). And thus, we would always be tried and tempted by him on a daily basis.
Now, what keeps us alive in Christ, is faith and prayers. The Bible made mention; that a "prayerless Christian, is a powerless Christian". So when you don't pray as a Christian, you are powerless.
They're a lot of battles we face spiritually, which so many of us don't know about., Because God always delivers us, and his infinite mercies keep us... We shouldn't say because God is merciful unto us, and so, we won't pray to him.

You mustn't have a need before you pray to your father in heaven. Don't just pray when you have a need, don't just pray when you are sick, don't just pray when you are broke, don't just pray when you are faced with life challenges. Pray also when you are thankful. Pray also to edify your spirit.
Don't be a one-sided benefit-sapping Christian! How would you feel if someone only comes to you when they need your help, and not take out quality time to thank and Celebrate you. Make boast of you amongst others too., Bad I guess!
This is exactly what we do to God when we fail to be in constant fellowship with him. When we fail to thank him, but we are so Swift to lay our burdens at his feet, because he said so. How about where he said, "pray in season and out of the season" or other scriptures he talked about our service of obedience and being thankful to him?
If at all you want to be an intentional Christian, you have to learn how to shun sin! And pray!
Prayerfulness and sinlessness go hand in hand. This is because one can't do without the other.
If you aren't prayerful enough, your flesh would rule your spirit, and that's to say you become unevenly carnally minded, and you have the tendency to sin more.
But when you are prayerful, you are able to overcome temptations from the enemy and sin.
We can't be sinless by our mere power., Nah! The holy spirit enables us to overcome sin. But we must first showcase our intentionality of not sinning, by being prayerful and conscious of our works.
When you find yourself in tough situations., Don't wait for angels, or God to come down and rescue you, place a petition to him through prayer.
Consciously pray yourself out. You have the power to do so.
When you are down health-wise, speak strength to your body. The Bible said God has given us the power to trade upon serpents and scorpions and nothing shall by any means harm us.
There is power in prayers. And Christians who have discovered this, have gone so far In life, as they are able to scale through every tough situation that comes their way.
What will it take you to pray, even if 5mins? God didn't give us a particular time for prayer before he considers us worthy to hear our prayers. A minute silent and Intentionally said a prayer, is better than 24hours ranting without the intentionality of the heart.
Let no man deceive you.
You must not pray 20 hours before God would show up for you.
If it's 5mins you can pray.,. Superb!
Pray for 5mins, be intentional and be consistent too.
And try as much as you can not to fall prey to the sinful acts you can naturally avoid.
Always be prayerful, and living a holy and righteous life, wouldn't be so much difficult for you.
God bless you and happy second Sunday of December.
