Helping You Grow In Your Faith
At Lifehouse, our heart is to help you grow in your relationship with Jesus. One of the most important ways to do that is by developing spiritual habits—simple, consistent practices that strengthen your daily walk with Him.
Think of spiritual habits as exercises for your soul. Just like regular physical exercise builds strength and endurance, these practices help you grow closer to Jesus and live more fully in step with Him.
Two of the most foundational habits are reading the Bible and prayer. Both create space for God to speak to you, guide you, and shape your heart.
Here are some resources to help you take the next step in building these habits into your daily life.

Helping Your Pray
Pray First App
While there is no art to prayer, there are some ways that can help us better connect. Pray First walks you through guided prayer plans.
Prayer Request
Let us pray for you. If you are in need of prayer, submit a prayer request.
P.R.A.Y.
This is a prayer acronym for daily life. The prayer acronym P.R.A.Y is a helpful structure for prayer and also forces some deeper dives into God’s Word and his will for your life.
Ask
We all have things on our minds and heart that we would like to ask God for. Use this time to share with God any specific prayer requests that you have. Write them down for future reference to see how God answered your prayers.
Yield
The final step is to spend some time yielding to God. This simply means to stop and quiet your heart to hear from God. It is trusting your specific prayer requests to God, allowing Him to answer it in His timing and in His way. This is probably the most difficult step in prayer, but it’s worth the effort to make it a habit.
Praise
Start by praising God. Praise God by speaking to His character (i.e. His greatness, faithfulness, goodness, etc.) and by sharing with Him the things in your life you are thankful for (i.e. your health, provisions, relationships, etc.). This will get your heart in the right posture as you begin connecting with God in prayer.
Repent
Next, move into a short time of repentance. Repentance is the authentic activity of saying, “I’m sorry” to God and allowing Him to forgive you. It is giving the space for God to reveal any sinful thoughts or actions in your life, admitting that you were in the wrong, and then committing to change for the better.
