Personal Prayer Central

 

While the Church Prayer Leaders Network focuses primarily on the niche of growing prayer within a church, that starts with church members growing in their personal prayer life. So we also include helps and encouraging articles and resources that will equip you to have a more dynamic and effective prayer life.

This page provides links to key blogs, articles and resources that can help you or the people to whom you minister. We encourage you to check them out.

Blogs:

Prayer Hacks is the blog that focuses on growing a stronger prayer life.

Prayer Points by Jon Graf has entries that can be either on personal prayer of prayer in the life of a church.

Prayer Connect also has articles that can provide encouragement or equips in either personal prayer or church prayer. You need to have either a subscription to Prayer Connect Blog or have a membership to Church Prayer Leaders Network.

If you are a pastor, The Praying Pastor has entries written by pastors, both on a pastor’s personal prayer life and on growing prayer in the church.

 

Prayer Connect Back Issues:

Our award winning resource Prayer Connect magazine was published from 2011-January 2025. While no longer published as a magazine, it is now a twice-monthly blog. Each issue of Prayer Connect was topical, so you can get a lot of help and encouragement in from each topic. To view the 59 issues (and more than 600 articles and ideas on prayer) you need either a Prayer Connect Blog subscription or a CPLN Membership.

 

Resources:

Our store section has more than 150 different resources–most are for sale, but some prayer guides are a free PDF download.

Here are a few books I highly recommend to help you develop a personal prayer life:

Walking and Talking with God
Love to Pray
The Power of Personal Prayer
Praying Like Paul
Solid Foundation
The 21 Most Effective Prayers in the Bible
