A week ago I shared with you on how to resurrect your prayerlife, and I said it's by going into a personal retreat. Alot of the questions I got was "how do I do a retreat, what do I do in a retreat.
I'm here to share with you a few tips that works for me.
I'm here to share with you a few tips that works for me.
1. Get a location with no distractions: the location could be your room, a physical prayer closet, a hotel room, a prayer mountain.
Just an atmosphere that's convenient and quiet where you can focus during your prayer and fasting.

2. Get a notebook and write your goals and plans AFRESH and on a fresh page with scriptures besides them,It really refocuses you, the Bible says," write your vision, make it plain on paper..." (Habakkuk 2:2)
What you want to do for the week, for the month. Also your prayer goals

3. Reflect, Reconnect and recharge: that's what a retreat is for, to reflect Reconnect and recharge.
Reflection helps you see that indeed you're nothing without God, which brings you to a place of humility.
To reconnect and recharge, is to engage with the heart of our Father.

4. Go with your Bible, prayer Journal and pen: These are essential resources because sometimes God will give you instructions to obey or scriptures either to comfort or to direct you.
Journal your experiences in the place of prayer, how you felt, the encounters you had

5. Use a worship playlist: I highly highly highly recommend instrumental worship, if possible download piano sounds for the moment you're praying in tongues.
I don't recommend songs with high beats, it's a distraction in pray and worship.
