If your prayer life is stuck in a rut, and you tend to pray the same things over and over-“God, be with this person” or “Bless this food to the nourishment of our bodies”-then here’s what you need to do: Start writing down your prayers. In many of the psalms, he starts out with what he’s feeling and then ends up writing down what God says. David meditated on the first five books of the Bible, the Torah, and then he wrote down his thoughts, and they’re called psalms. That’s also how we got the book of Psalms many of those psalms came directly from David’s quiet time. And in chapter two, he wrote down what God said back to him. In chapter one, Habakkuk wrote down what he said to God. In the book of Habakkuk, the Lord commands the author to “write down clearly on tablets what I reveal to you, so that it can be read at a glance” ( Habakkuk 2:2 GNT). Then write down God’s responses to your questions. If you want to hear God speak, do this: Withdraw to a quiet place, wait patiently and expectantly, and ask God to give you a picture of what he wants to say to you. “The Lord gave me this answer: ‘Write down clearly on tablets what I reveal to you, so that it can be read at a glance.’” Habakkuk 2:2 (GNT)
