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.

Below are a few verses to get you started while you pray. Add verses as you go along.  

1. Confession
  •  Proverbs 4:23-27
  • Galatians 5:19-24
  • I John 2:15-16

II. Praise
  • Psalm 100

III. Request
  •  Philippians 4:6
