If your prayer altar is dried, suffering and almost totally cold, here are prayer points to revive prayer life that you can use to pray.
A prayer-less Christian is a power-less Christian, that’s a fact.
Your faith life is as robust as your prayer life, that’s another fact.
That tells you one thing: to be mighty with God, you have to be mighty in prayer.
For reasons that I do not understand, it seems to me that it is through prayer that you activate and keep the power of God on your life 24/7.
Jesus was that way, primarily because He was given to prayers. (See Luke 5:15-16, NIV)
He loved spending quality time in prayer and fellowship with the Father, He did this mostly in the early hours of the day before He sets out to meet the day.
Little did we wonder why He had 100 percent success in ministry, casting out devils, healing the sick, walking and preaching in and with power!
Hey, your faith life is at risk and at the mercy of Satan, sin and demons if you don’t pray.
Trust Satan, He will do everything possible to keep you from praying, He knows when you don’t pray, you are not a threat to him in any way.
He can come to your house, operate unhindered and get away with it.
Said enough.
You need fire back on your prayer altar.
Let’s pray to have it back.

Conclusion
On and on, there’s so much you can pray to rekindle the flame of glory on your prayer altar, but these prayer points to revive prayer life are intended to help you get started in prayer.
Yes, that’s the point; help you get started.
And you know what? The only way to pray is to actually pray!
You can talk about prayer and praying from now till Jesus comes, but if you do not get to praying (action, doing it), you may never do.
So, what that means is that you will have to bring yourself under great discipline, you will have to ask the Holy Spirit for grace to do this, so that you will be able to give expression to your resolve.
You will have to prepare yourself for prayer, you may have to stop some things and start to do some other things.
You may have to start going to bed early and stop watching TV into the dead of the night if you have decided that you will be waking up early in the morning before dawn like Jesus to pray.
You see, what you love you value.
Going to bed in good time, in anticipation of the time you are going to spend in God’s presence the next day may be the price to pay to have a sustained prayer life.
I think that’s not a price too heavy to pay.
Finally, as you begin to dust your prayer hat and to get into serious business with the Lord in the ministry of prayer and intercession, it will be well for you to learn the importance, place and power of praying in the spirit.
It is in praying in the spirit that you are able to really pray the mind of God on everything. (See Romans 8:26-27, NIV)
It is also through it that you are able to prevail in the place of prayer, pray well, pray sufficiently and exhaust your prayers.
It is the most beautiful and powerful weapon in your arsenal as a prayer warrior.
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. (Ephesians 6:18, KJV)
Do this and you will see the glory of God not only come on your prayer altar but also sustained.
God bless you.
All the best!
