Prayer Perks

This is my list of ways to perk up my prayer life. Sometimes I want something new and different to do with Father, something that will increase my delight in time spent with Him. Just like in any relationship, conversation can become stale and tired. I always want the real me to be talking to the real Him. I want my relationship with Him to be creative, engaging and alive.
