Why are you not praying | Honest Reflection

[@nomsamzozo]

It’s so easy to brush it off and make excuses because life goes on anyway and we feel self reliant 😔

[@joeydlamini]

I've been guilty if doing that 😪

[@tkhlongwane]

Yoh, we do think we can do it on our own. I love the example you made about kids not being yo nor talk to you because you are their primary care giver. It landed Joey.

[@joeydlamini]

I am so glad it landed with me too because I think I can do it on my own

[@JustLucyBrown]

Sissy u enjoy these raw,authentic candid conversations so much,thank you for sharing your heart ❤

[@joeydlamini]

It's my pleasure Sisi thank you for watching

[@JustLucyBrown]

That is so true Sissy,just the way when you spending time with a friend you love,you enjoy their company so much that time flies. The same with God,the people that ive known that have walked so closely to God are people who spend hours in prayer unintentionally yet intentional

[@joeydlamini]

I love that Sisi spending time with God unintentionally yet intentionally

[@lethabopila1543]

For the longest time I struggled to pray due to shame and for some crazy reason I told myself that I do not know how to pray, I love the children's analogy. If I see God as my father, I will pray more as that is our means of communication. Challenge accepted. I want to join the 5am gang that will work for me. Thank you so much for this ❤❤❤❤

[@joeydlamini]

The devil lies to us he is so crafty so we must always test his word with what God say

[@JustLucyBrown]

I also feel Sis that my prayer life can get better. In winter I struggle with fall asleep while praying in the night so I have to make extra effort to make my time with the impactful. I dont wanna do something for the sake of doing,i want my heart to be in it so jah,winters are a thorn in the flesh for me

[@joeydlamini]

Sisi winter is not nice for everyone we come with excuses for everything

[@TasminBota]

Thank you for your honest perspective and for teaching us.

[@joeydlamini]

My pleasure!

[@tkhlongwane]

You know what I’ve picked up about us Christians? Because we all practice Christianity differently and all belong to different Denominations, so we all do our own thing and we don’t have that discipline like other religions. So everyone is left to do ‘ what feels right’ to them, hence this low maintenance relationship we seem to have with God. This video is challenged me, I’m going to do better. I do pray in the morning because I’m a morning person, sometimes it feels like a hit and run. I’m going to make more effort for the evenings, maybe 8-9pm as close the day

[@joeydlamini]

That is such a good point and I never thought about it like that and I feel like the more we grow the worse it gets. Because my Mom was a Zcc star member so it was part of their church “rules “ in a way while in my side my church doesn’t have specific set time . I know what you mean about hit and run

[@Khanyisa_leeuw]

Here ❤

[@Dreyroxx]

This message was for me too I get easily exhausted or tired when it’s time for prayer. I’m working to do better but I think I just need to be more intentional. You and I listen to the same women first Stephany Ike and now Jackie Hill Perry. I’m joining in this challenge with you Joey ❤ thank you for this

[@joeydlamini]

It’s my pleasure Drey I am not surprised that we listen to the same people. I can get it from your videos 😍

The quality of the video and sound mama 👌🏽 I also believe that my prayer life could be so much better, I’m grateful for this channel ❤ I’m part of the 5am club but I’ve been praying at midnight lately because there is a fight lol. I try to let the spirit lead hey, if I try to take too long there are time where I feel like the spirit is done, I hope I make sense.

[@joeydlamini]

Thank you Mama. I get you Sisi and listening to the promptings of the Holy Spirit is so important

[@BeeXaba]

As I recover my Christ like lifestyle 🙌🏻

[@joeydlamini]

@@BeeXaba amen 🙏🏾

[@JustLucyBrown]

You know when i say "man I miss the Lord" some people find it strange but it happens,sometimes praying does not necessarily mean intimacy and you can feel the difference

[@joeydlamini]

I get you Sisi because I have experienced that

[@Naizabae]

I was speaking to a friend last week, she motivated me to pray during lunch time and thats what I have started implementing at least i'll be praying 3 times in a day. My struggle ke weekend and I need to fix that.

[@joeydlamini]

@@Naizabae we need friends who motivate us towards healthy habits🙏🏾😍

[@sebolelofelicia]

13:32 Joh sis😢 I was thinking of the same thing because now I’m a mom and I stand in the gap for my family ❤

[@joeydlamini]

We have a huge responsibility 😍

[@sebolelofelicia]

4:21 I love her 😍

[@joeydlamini]

Me too 😍

[@og_media_za]

Good morning mommy 💖

[@joeydlamini]

Good morning!

[@sebolelofelicia]

Just to add on, what has been helping me in this new season of being a mom, it’s continuous prayer with God throughout the day. My set time during the week is 30 minutes during lunch time if I’m not disturbed 🙈

[@joeydlamini]

That is so important my workplace is not conducive it’s an open plan with no kitchens

Hey Sisi ❤

[@joeydlamini]

Hey Sisi ❤️🙏🏾

[@mphohleza4039]

I would like to do a solid hour but I know it would be a challenge for me, especially during the week. Maybe I can start with 30 minutes and build on it till it becomes an hour.

[@joeydlamini]

A solid 30 minutes is a good start and as you said you can always build on it. The aim is to start

[@sebolelofelicia]

2:09 mine too, it’s not where I want it to be at all 😢

[@joeydlamini]

Let’s keep on pushing

[@sebolelofelicia]

10:12 me too it doesn’t work for me hle🤦‍♀️ I tried Ps Mildred on her morning prayers but the problem is that ke ka 6 am and I’m busy getting ready at that time so it’s a mess

[@joeydlamini]

Like I am giving myself that it is not my time
