People will assume you never went through anything just because you stay levelheaded and not miserable.

[Ish Smeezy @RoyalMobISH]

I like making people feel seen and heard cause I know how much that means to me.

[Ish Smeezy @RoyalMobISH]

a lot of things are pointless to talk about and a lot of people are pointless to be around.

[jonzing. @ehisssss]

i love people who just naturally have morals, manners, self awareness, common sense and consideration for others.

@Pee_lad @EricAdjei_ @JDMahama "For more than a year...." Did you say this when NPP was in power?

One thing I’ll never take for granted is how God has always been there with me, even during the times when I wasn’t praying or at my best. God is a faithful and loving Father and I am grateful everyday.

@Gen_Buhari_ @garyalsmith This is what happens when you politicize issues instead of critical reasoning. Such a shame!!

For most of my life, prayer has been a struggle.

And by struggle, I mean STRUGGLE.

How is that possible? I’m a missionary. I’ve been a Christian for decades!

Why is praying so hard?

🔹

Finding time to pray has always been difficult. When I prayed in the morning, I was rushed. My prayers felt disingenuous.

When I planned to pray in the evenings, I was too tired. Scrolling Instagram or YouTube was easier.

When I sat down to pray, I was almost always distracted. Literally, within minutes my mind was thinking about what I had to get done that day or an unresolved issue from the day before.

I often felt like my prayers were repetitive—the same people, the same circumstances, the same words. I wondered if God was even listening.

Was He listening??? It didn’t feel like a conversation at all.

It felt like I was talking TO God, not WITH God.

Almost everything got in the way of my prayer time.

I needed to sleep in.
I needed to get to bed.
I needed to finish a project at work.
I needed to spend time with the kids.
I needed to spend time with my wife.
I needed to respond to emails.
I needed to take a call.

I needed to…

Ughhhhhh. EXCUSES.

At the end of the day, I simply didn’t want to pray. (That's embarrassing to write)

There has to be more?

This isn’t the prayer life I read about in Psalms.

When King David prayed, he PRAYED.

Right?

_____

This is the prayer I eventually offered unto the Lord:

“Lord, I want you.

I want to talk with You.
I want to be close to You.
I want my prayer life to mean something.

I want an authentic prayer life.
I want a passionate prayer life.
I want a rich and transformative prayer life.

I love you.”
_____

And then, I began praying through the Scriptures.

And everything changed.

When I prayed before, it felt like I was praying for 10 or 15 minutes when, in reality, only 2-3 minutes had passed.

After I started praying the Bible, specifically the Psalms, I now get lost in prayer and can pray for 20-30 minutes without effort.

I’m growing.

If you struggle with prayer, retweet this and comment with a 🙏🏽, and I'll DM you the document I wrote that explains exactly how I pray.

I'm headed out with a team visiting our ministry, so be patient. If you retweet and comment, I WILL send the doc.

After a lifetime of struggle and stagnant prayers, I finally feel like I'm praying 'with' the Lord.

[Pastor West @Pastor__West]

Dear Lord,

Today, I pray that when I’m tempted to think that I’m falling behind; or could never accomplish what You put in my heart. Help me to stay encouraged. Because You know how to make up for lost time. I declare that my miracle is already underway. In Jesus name. Amen🙏🏾
