Since yesterday, something unusual has been happening to me: I have had an abnormally strong desire/urge to pray. I've always prayed (since being saved that is), but this is something different---a persistent 'compulsion/urge' to pray. I just keep having it, and keep doing it, like it's something I need to do and that the Holy Spirit wants me to do. And it feels really satisfying to do it---relieving. But it keeps happening. I don't know what is going on---I don't even know what to pray for when I have the urge to; I just get down and pray for whatever God puts on my heart---for myself and for the saints. I wonder if anyone else is having this experience.
I remembered 1 Peter 4:7:
The end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober and watch unto prayer. (KJV)
I also remember Ephesians 6:18,
...Praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints...
which has to do with standing firm against the spiritual forces of evil, the demonic rulers in the heavenly places---with being able to stand against the schemes of the devil.
And what the Lord said in Luke 21:36:
"But stay awake at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are going to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man."

Yes! Like a compelling ...and like you, I don't know what to pray, just that with my spiritual eyes, to whisper His name and be looking to/at Him and then weeping comes and words ...both in English and in tongues (Holy Spirit) ...and pray till there is release.... then another wave ....He is calling us closer to His side...

Yes . pray and read the bible , pray and read the bible . Keep feasting . Its for our good . Their also must be a release of a nasty delusion in the spiritual realm too . As they go further into the delusion we will be digging deeper into the LORD . its for our protection . Be on guard and test all spirits . If any spirit comes and tries to push anyone into a false sense of unity or saying things like lighten up on the walk , WATCH OUT . Our walk should be taken serious and error should not be taken lightly . Just keep praying , keep seeking , and keep reading that bible . And we will continue exhorting as well.

I would not say a strong urge... I have always felt the need to pray and I actually get worried if I feel I am far from the Spirit.
What I constantly get are warnings, warning not to fall and not to quench the Spirit or become distracted.
God bless you in Jesus' name!

There's something going on the spiritual realm. God wants us to armor up for the battle---to strengthen ourselves in Christ. He knows what hour it is---as do our spiritual adversaries. Whatever the Holy Spirit is leading or prompting each of us to do at this hour, we should heed His urging.

I haven’t had a compulsion to pray, but for me it’s been a nagging sense that I need to be doing *something* I can’t put my finger on. I pray, study, worship, and feel better for a while, then the nagging returns. Like you all, I have no idea what I’m supposed to be praying for.

PRAY , PRAY that you enter not into temptation . The delusional strong darkness is covering the planet and its inhabitants more and more . When I warn us , we in the end days , WE ARE , and its gonna turn nasty against the saints , after this delusion has filled the land , world , govts , churches . And I just don't know how much longer that it will take .

We must be doing our part with whatever gift we are given . Sister , you are a prayer lady . Be praying for labourers to be sent out , be praying for others to be faithful with their gifts . Be praying sister . Be praying . You loved .

And what the Lord said in Luke 21:36:
"But stay awake at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are going to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man." Praise the Lord sister, yes this happens to me also. The urge is so strong I have to stop what I'm doing, just leave everything and go into my room. It could be 3, or 4 times a day, and will happen like this for a week or two weeks or so, and when it goes back to normal, I feel at the end of the day I havn't prayed enough. I don't know what to pray about either before I pray, so I just say glorify thy name to start with, and the prayer flows from there. I understand that this happens because he wants us to have that constant communication with him, not just in thoughts, but on a deeper level, talking to him as if he were sitting right next to us, and being humble before him with nothing hidden, and everything open. He want's us to pray for strength, for his protection, to be led by him in all truth, and in righteousness trusting in him. To thank him in everything. To ask to be kept us under his shadow, and to deliver us from the enemy who constantly connives against us, to do us harm in one way or another. I think he wants us to pray for protection because he sees what the enemy is planning behind the scenes to bring us down, and he will give us that help because we asked for it. Just my thoughts. God bless you.

Perhaps it has something to do with an event, like the one Frienduff is expecting to occur this month. Maybe it is about an immediate threat. We are told that when this happens, and we don't know what to pray for, we should pray in the Spirit and with the understanding. We may not know what we need to pray for as we should, but the Spirit of God knows.

God knows our needs before we do. At the urging of the Holy Spirit, I called my great aunt during a July 4th party at my house. She had fallen and broken her hip! I called 911 to meet me at her house or the hospital, she ended up recovering. That was over 20 years ago and she has since passed on.
I prayed on a Saturday night for the safety of my daughter not knowing why, as far as I knew she was fine. A few weeks later she told me she had been in a small fender bender in her friends car the day after I prayed...God knows all! She was safe!
Recovering from back surgery I laid down to bed and opened the Bible to Psalm 23. I read it three times and it gave me comfort. I thought, who reads the Bible, psalm 23 three times on a Saturday night?
Two days later my husband died unexpectedly and then I knew, God knows ALL my needs before I even have a clue. That was 9 years ago.
Praise God for His assurance to always be there and here for me, even in times I dont understand!
I pray lead me Holy Spirit in His will, not mine, in His time, not mine in HIS understanding, not mine! Glory to be Our God The Father Son and Holy SPirit!
