Prayer Wheel

Spending an hour with God in prayer is easier than you think when you break it up into 5 minute segments.  The following diagram was created as a guide for you to use during your prayer time.

Instructions: 5 minutes in each section = an hour of prayer

  • 365 days of an hour of prayer = 45 days of 8-hour prayer

  • 6 weeks of full time prayer.
