When Prayer Feels Like a Chore, Not a Joy - a 5-Day Devotional to Reset Your Prayer LifeSample

Day 5 – Prayer as Relationship

Scripture:
“Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.”
— John 17:3

Devotional Thought:
Prayer is not about formulas or rituals—it’s about relationship. God doesn’t just want your words; He wants your heart. When you see prayer as a way to know Him, not just ask from Him, it shifts everything.

Prayer is no longer a chore—it becomes your lifeline. The place where you find peace, purpose, and presence.

Prayer:
Father, thank You for inviting me into relationship with You. Help me see prayer as the joy of knowing You, not a task to check off. Amen.

Reflection/Action Step:
Think about how you relate to God in prayer. Is it more of a ritual or a relationship? Write one way you will lean into relationship this week.

These five days are just the beginning of rediscovering joy in prayer. God is inviting you to go deeper—to move from routine into a lifestyle of intimacy with Him.
