I’m considering waking up at around 3 am to pray frequently. Has anyone here ever tried anything similar? I would like to hear if you guys have any advice regarding early morning prayer.

No, if HE wants to wake me up that's really awesome. I've told HIM that HE can wake me at any time in the night or early hours of the morning. But I do not set a specific time limit to pray. GOD may lead some to do that, but at this point HE has not. I pray throughout the day, whether I'm at home or at work or even out and about. It's a very 'open' prayer life in that I don't have set scheduled times. I do tend to pray MORE in the evening after the children go to bed. For some people, I know people who wake up around 4am to pray and do devotionals and set their day. I just am not one of them I guess, I typically do that more in the evening when it is very quiet. I'm an 'up and at em' kind of person in the morning, when I wake up I just have to get up and start my day. It's how HE wired me.

I’m kinda similar to j
I don’t really have a preference on prayer times. If you’re led to do it and it helps you spend more time with tthe Lord then go for it bro 😁

I once used to try to give an hour to God when I woke up from bed. This was around a year or two ago. It got to religious at some point especially since I wasn’t told by Him to do it nor was I happy about it after awhile. If you feel you need to to build discipline or at least start spending more time with God without any distractions then that’s on you to make the desciscion (if you feel lead by God though however you making the effort to have more focus on Him can help).

I know I need to spend more time with God. I need to start paying more and talking to him. I feel like I don't know how to pray. Like I don't know what to say and stuff. Edit:Sorry to intrude on your post. I know I didn't answer your question.

Edit:Sorry to intrude on your post. I know I didn't answer your question. Ask Him to help you pray if you struggle with not knowing what to say or just wait on Him until you feel like saying something or something comes to mind like scripture or other things. I’m sure you can wait while doing other things like laying down or eating or other stuff. Your mind is not focused on the thing your doing but on Him instead. But could be different for you if you feel you need to wait in silence in an isolated area or something then that can work as well perhaps would be a less distracting option.

Lol, I never seem to run out of things to say to HIM. I always have questions and comments and I just ramble on and on, lol. I'm glad GOD is able to multi-task! Because I'm chatty patty! Not too many people understand me because I'm not very open with a lot of people, but I know HE 'gets' me and understands because HE made me and sees me and knows everything about everything! He never goes away, never 'signs out', never is too busy, never runs out of energy to put up with me, haha

Don't get me wrong, there are moments HE makes me completely silent, those are very serious times and I find no words sometimes. Usually when HE is correcting me, or when HE gives me a burden and I cant even pray, but my spirit inside groans and grieves.
