Last week we began to discuss the concept of having extended times of prayer. I shared with you that the starting point is facing yourself. This involves self-assessment and having a sober view of your prayer life. I also mentioned the importance of being absolutely persuaded that prayer makes a difference. I went on to describe how prayer is often a discipline initially but then later becomes a great delight. We examined how extended hours of prayer should not be seen as weird or extreme as we looked at a few examples in scripture. I ended by sharing a couple of accounts to inspire us from church history, specifically Count Zinzendorf and David Brainerd. Today we will continue with this theme as I share with you 10 more ingredients that will help you to extend your prayer times.
