5 Minutes of Prayer for the Next 50 Years of Your Life — A Holy Rant
Let me just say it plain: if you don’t have five minutes to pray, you don’t have your priorities straight. Five minutes. That’s all it takes to shift the course of your entire life.
“Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.” — Luke 18:1 (NIV)
The Myth of “Not Enough Time”
We spend hours scrolling, watching, and stressing. But claim we “don’t have time” for God.
Five minutes isn’t about length; it’s about alignment.
What 5 Minutes Can Do
Redirect your mindset from worry to worship.
Invite the Spirit into your day before it even begins.
Plant seeds that ripple into decades of faithfulness.
Why Starting Small Matters
Spiritual growth doesn’t happen in grand gestures—it’s formed in daily habits.
A tree doesn’t grow overnight; roots deepen little by little.
A Practical Challenge
For the next 7 days, commit to 5 minutes of prayer at the same time daily.
Here’s a framework you can use:
1 minute of thanks
2 minutes of scripture meditation
2 minutes of honest conversation with God
Closing Thought
It’s not about eloquence or length. It’s about showing up. Do it for five minutes—and watch what God can do with the next 50 years.
