Memorize "Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world." (Matthew 28:20) Have this scripture ready to use from your memory when situations occur that become difficult. Having full belief that God is with you always, anywhere that you are, anytime, helps you to know that you are surrounded by God's grace everywhere that you go. Embracing this thought is the foundation for a strong daily prayer life.

Write prayer requests in a prayer journal. Take the prayer journal with you everywhere that you go. Add prayer needs to the list as they come to your heart. When you pray, hold the list in your hand or scan the list with your eyes. Speak each request out loud, whisper each one or pray for each one silently. Date the prayer requests when you pray for them. If you receive a praise report, write the date down. Keep a dated prayer journal.
