50 Great Prayer Blogs

50 Great Prayer Blogs

This article originally appeared on Online-Christian-Colleges.net sometime around 2011. It has since been taken down. I have updated the list to fill out sites that have been taken down with new sites that are now available. This page was last updated February 2023. The inclusion of the blogs are not an endorsement by the Prayer Coach site, but with the variety of Christian perspectives you may find some new useful ways to connect with God.


Prayer. It is a key discipline of the Christian faith and a commandment to all believers. Still more, Christians are commanded to pray without ceasing. Without ceasing? In today’s day and age, prayer can seem like a difficult task. How can one remain focused and listening to God’s voice when we have jobs and family and errands and commitments demanding our immediate attention? We suggest a little research. And we believe that this list is a good place to start. Explore these best blogs for prayer, and begin to pick up tips and useful habits for leading an unceasing prayer life.

  1. Thanks for these, just came across them in a ‘prayer blogs’ site. I’ve been blogging for a while on prayer and wanted to see what else was out there. This is a great place to start! Be blessed.

    1. I was glad when this was created as well. The original author did plenty of research of not only finding these blogs, but creating a summary for each one. When this taken down, I wanted to make sure the research and benefits were not lost. I will check out your site.

      Blessings,
      Kevin

  2. Thank you for this list. I have been looking for a while and you have really come up with a nice list. I would not have found them if you had not posted. Thank you again and God Bless.

    1. Dear Jenny,
      I’m glad that you found this list helpful. This list was taken from Online Christian Colleges that has since removed the article. I also found it helpful and reposted it for others. They are the ones that did the research for this list. Please let me know if any links go to sites that are no longer there, and I will update the article.
      Thanks,
      Kevin

  4. This list is very helpful to those people who wants to grow more in faith. It gives encouragement to those people who wants to draw closer to God through prayer. God bless.

  5. Prayer don’t work, besides, it’s a form of begging. Why beg? Why part ceaslessly? Don’t God hear the first time? Why does God want us to “beg” him, because praying ceaselessly is begging, no matter how you paint it.

    1. Manny,
      You are correct that many people view prayer as a form of begging. Even those of us who pray, often are trying to get God to do something for us. But that is no the intent with prayer. Prayer is connecting with God. It is spending time with Him and allowing Him spend time with you. It is all about the relationship.

      Still in relationships we ask things of each other. A good example is how my kids will ask things of me. Sometimes I do it right away and others I say no. But there are still other times I may be willing to be talked into it. This happens with friends as well. My friend may ask me to help him move some furniture. I will not always jump at those opportunities, but if it is important to my friend, I will do it.

      While these examples are not perfect, I hope they can give more clarity to how at least I approach my relationship with God.

      Thanks for commenting and I hope you have a good day.
      Kevin

  6. I recommend you guys to check Pastor Henderson of https://www.keionhenderson.com/christian-authors Founder, CEO and Senior Pastor of The Lighthouse Church & Ministries.

      I appreciate you sending us this link. Our decision to not include it is based on the desire to specifically focus on link on prayer. I am glad you found his message helpful to you.
      Blessings,
      Kevin

  7. Lisa Marie,

    Thank you for your kind words and the suggestion. That link looks good with several lists of Scripture for specific areas of interests, and written prayers to help give direction and hope. The little I was on the site looked good, but there is a widget that kept coming up requesting that I signup to the latest news. I don’t mind the pop up, but it would not let me browse the site, it kept shutting down all other links for me.

    I hope that either is not an issue for others or is fixed soon, as the site looks to be a good resource.

    Blessings,
    Kevin
