PRAYER IN THE HOUSE - Where?
Friday, March 6, 2026
. . . and departed into a solitary place. —Mark 1:35
Church prayer meetings are great, and calling a brother or sister to agree in prayer is powerful, but you must also depart to a solitary place. You must make time for just you and your Father to grow in your relationship together. Even in your marriage, between your job and children and worldly affairs, it is essential to get alone with your spouse. Find yourself a solitary time and a place to pray. Set aside a place, a room, a closet, the back porch—wherever you can get alone with God. It should be a place where no distractions can get to you—where you are safe to be alone with Him. If Jesus needed to depart and go to a solitary place, how much more do you need to do the same today?

PRAYER IN THE HOUSE - When?
Thursday, March 5, 2026
And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed. —Mark 1:35
Any time is a good time to set aside a time for prayer, but most men of God, and Jesus Himself, arose in the morning. Why rise and pray in the morning? Because it is before the day begins. Prayer time will get you ready, prepare you, for the day ahead. I found that if I did not take time to pray “before day,” I spent a lot of time repenting “after day.” Go to God first in your day! Get your instructions and commission for the day ahead. Build yourself up by praying in the Holy Ghost. Let the Spirit of God show you things to come in the day ahead. Start out small—fifteen to thirty minutes—and let your prayer life grow! Read and meditate on the precious promises about you—change is certain!

PRAYER IN THE HOUSE - How?
Wednesday, March 4, 2026
Praying always . . . —Ephesians 6:18
If Paul were writing today, he would probably write, “At least pray sometimes.” It is a fact that most of the body of Christ does not have a consistent, organized prayer time! The day of entertainment and distraction has set in. Live streams, podcasts, TV programs, video games, sports, iPhones and Androids, working multiple jobs—all have left us with no time to do what we were created to do: fellowship with God in prayer. You may have heard sermons on prayer, have books or CDs on prayer, and know in your heart that prayer would help your life—but if you do not take the time to pray, you will get no results. You cannot pray twenty minutes a week, then worry the rest of the time—and grow up spiritually. If you are not praying, you are missing out. Grumbling? Complaining? Critical? All the result of a lack of prayer. Become a pray-er today and watch your life change.

PRAYER IN THE HOUSE - The Alternative to Worry
Tuesday, March 3, 2026
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer . . . —Philippians 4:6
God gives us a choice in this life: to worry, be troubled, be distressed, or to pray! He says to worry about nothing! Why? You have a prayer connection with God. You have been given the ability to go to God—“in every thing by prayer.” How can you tell if someone is truly acting as the house of God or if they are committed to prayer? They very seldom worry about things. If you find yourself worried about things, your answer is prayer. Trouble in your marriage, worried about children, lack of money, attacked with symptoms? Pray! Get God involved in your situations and circumstances. You’ve tried it without prayer—how did it go? Pray in everything concerning you and get worry out of your life. Ask and you shall receive; seek and you will find; knock and doors will open—through prayer.

PRAYER IN THE HOUSE - The Church’s Call
Monday, March 2, 2026
My house shall be called the house of prayer. —Matthew 21:13
We have discovered that we are the House of God, God’s dwelling place. Notice that Jesus gave the house a name or a title. He called it “the house of prayer.” Many churches are built on gimmicks, on buildings, on social events, on children’s ministries. But a true house of God is a house of prayer! A praying church is only made up of praying members. True members of a church not only attend, tithe, and support—but they pray. Prayer, or communication with God, is what you were created for! If you are not a pray-er, one who consistently, daily, spends quality time with God, you are failing to fulfill your purpose in God. Set aside a time starting today—even if it’s only fifteen minutes—and spend time talking and listening to God. In a matter of weeks, it will change your life!
