Do you know that a clock can dramatically improve your prayer life? If you want to pray more regularly, a simple clock can inspire your prayers and boost your relationships.
Today I’m honored to guest post for my friend Melanie Redd about how I use a clock to improve my prayer life and bless my family. Here’s a preview of this post, and I hope you’ll head over to read the rest.
How to Pray More Effective Prayers for My Family
When I see 11:18 on the clock, it’s my cue to pray for my marriage.
Whether it’s morning or night, I pray blessings on my marriage at 11:18, because my husband and I were married on November 18.
For years, I’ve used the clock as a reminder to pray. I use corresponding dates with the times and pray over the one tied to that number in my mind.
My husband and I have been married for 18 years. Most of those years have been full of challenges. Many times, when I saw 11:18 on the face of my microwave or stove clock, I didn’t want to pray. When I saw 11:18 staring back at me from the radio in my van, I sometimes stubbornly ignored it. Looking at 11:18 p.m. on my bedside clock display, I often wanted to block it out.
But 11:18 is a reminder of the vows I made. The promises I made to my husband and to God. That date/time becomes my reminder that I can’t fulfill those vows on my own power. I must tether myself to God in prayer to stay faithful to my commitment.
