Praying 30 Minutes a Day for an Entire Year

They say prayer is powerful.  They say prayer connects us to God.

 

I have never been much of a ‘praying man’ in the past.  So, I want to do an experiment.  I want to pray 30 minutes every day for one year and see what happens to me and the world around me.  As I lean how to dwell with God through prayer, I hope to provide some resources and encouragement to help you do the same.

This is the one year prayer experiment.   At the beginning, I wanted to see what would happen if I set aside thirty minutes every day, and took that time to pray.  We are now about three months in, one quarter of the way.   What I have learned or gained so...
