Stuck in Prayer? Try the PRAY Model for Praying God’s Names

September 11, 20251 min read

Have you ever sat down to pray and felt stuck—like your prayers were repetitive or too focused on yourself? That’s why we want to share the PRAY model for prayer, a simple framework that shifts our focus from us to God.

The PRAY model isn’t about formulas or saying the right words. It’s a rhythm that helps us pause with God’s Word, reflect His names back to Him, acknowledge His faithfulness, and yield our lives in surrender.

In this video, we walk through the PRAY model using the name of God, El Roi—“the God who sees me” from Genesis 16:13. Just as God saw Hagar in the wilderness, He sees us in ours.

“Truly here I have seen him who looks after me.” (Genesis 16:13, ESV)

This model will guide you into deeper prayer, stronger faith, and more intimate relationship with God as you learn to pray His names with Scripture.
