When Prayer Stops Being a Chore

from Eternal Words · host Sileola Akinola

Have you ever felt like prayer, Bible study, or fasting has become just another item on your to-do list?Many Christians know these practices are important, yet over time they can begin to feel like obligations rather than opportunities to meet with God. In this episode of Eternal Words, we explore the biblical purpose behind prayer, the Word of God, and fasting—not as religious duties, but as invitations into deeper fellowship with our Heavenly Father.Using Scripture alone, we look at how spiritual disciplines move from routine to relationship, from duty to delight, and why knowing God must always remain the goal."As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God." — Psalm 42:1If prayer has become dry, if Bible study feels routine, or if your spiritual hunger has faded, this message is for you.
