Spiritual CPR

Spiritual CPR is an effective tool to help you pray
I first learned about Spiritual CPR years ago at a conference. I gave it a try and it honestly it helped change my prayer life tremendously. So many times we come to God in prayer first and only with our requests. The "give me, give me, all about me" attitude.
The idea behind Spiritual CPR is to use your Bible during prayer reading and meditating on specific verses for each topic - (Confession, Praise, & Request). Rather than beginning with requests you begin with confession getting your heart right before God. Next is praising God for who He is and what He has already done in your life. After our heart is right and we have rightfully given God praise we are now ready to request. It will amaze you at how many times you get stuck at only confession or praise. Give it a try it for a week or two and see what happens to your prayer life.
1. Confession
- Proverbs 4:23-27
- Galatians 5:19-24
- I John 2:15-16
II. Praise
- Psalm 100
III. Request
- Philippians 4:6
The things of God are...
How can I effectively disciple students?
The Word of God is tried and true.
How ever so near is a shepherd to His sheep?
A new semester, a new opportunity
Does the Lord hear our prayers? Does He count our every tear?
Is a word ascribing a specific state to a body or a mind. In every living creature can sickness be seen.
For this cause I live, for this cause I die.
Fire is an intense visual image of great trial, difficulties, even pain.
Protect your mind, your heart, your soul.
