Prayer is one of the most important aspects of a Christian’s relationship with the Lord.  1 Thessalonians 5:17 tells us that we should “pray without ceasing”. We are to pray continually. There are may benefits of prayer including a closer relationship with the Lord, less stress, answered prayers, and much more. As Christian we should incorporate prayer in every aspect of our lives including blogging.

Some of the benefits of praying for you blog include a stress free blogging life. By praying for your blog you are giving your blog over the Lord for His use. You no longer have to worry or stress over your blog. It is in the hands of the Lord. Now this doesn’t mean you don’t have to work hard on your blog. It just means you don’t sweat the big or little stuff.

Some other benefits include an increase in content creation, readership, and the perceived value of your blog. Matthew 7:7 tells us, “Ask, and it shall be given you …”. If you ask for the Lord to help in content creation or for an increase in readership, it will be given to you if it is in the Lord’s will. You must remember, however, how the Lord answers your prayer may not be the way you want the prayer answered. When this happens do not be discouraged but praise the Lord for answering your prayers. He know what is best for us and for our blogs.

If you blog to make money it’s important to first build a subscriber base before attempting to market anything to your readers. The 5 steps we reviewed above will provide you direction during the early stages of your site. Your intentions will be to build a healthy reader base. With a little patience and resolve there is no reason you can’t successfully grow your site into a blog that will earn you a significant income.
