As a Christian I cannot fully express the importance of prayer in every aspect of your life.  If you blog, that is just an additional aspect of your life you need to be praying for.

When I began thinking about selling Mom Giveaways I started by praying about it.  I asked the Lord if it was the right thing to do, to show me who I should sell it to, and how much to ask for it.  After praying about it for about 2 weeks, I finally felt at peace about selling the blog.  Within 2 days I had a buyer who I knew who take good care of the site and got my asking price.  I know if I had not been praying about it then the sell would not have gone as smooth.

So what are somethings you can pray for in regards to your blog:

1. Your content
   The content you post on your blog is a reflection of you.  I pray about almost every post I make here.  I just say a quick prayer before I start writing asking for the Lord’s guidance in writing.  I want every word I write to glorify God in some form or fashion.
2. Your advertisers & sponsors
   If you sell advertising space on your blog, pray about your advertisers. By accepting their advertisement on your site you are referring your reader to them.  Make sure any advertiser you agree to sell ad space to holds the same values as you do.  I personally don’t offer advertising on this site.  I would much rather refer people to products/services I have personally tried.  Before I put anything on my sidebar or site in an advertising fashion I pray that the product or service will be a help to my readers and not a deterrent.
3. Your readers
   Not only do I pray for more readers, but I pray daily that the readers I do have will find my posts helpful.  Readers are one of the main reasons we blog.  We want to be able to communicate with the world and blogging is one way of doing that.  Without the readers where would blogging be?  So I think it is very important to pray for our readers.
4. Blog Friends
   Pray for the success of your blog friends.  Your blog friends are probably also your blog readers.  We should do our best uplift others in prayer.  I firmly believe in the saying, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”
5. Ebooks, products, services
   Pray about any product or service you plan to offer to others. In the past I have started projects without praying and it was such a struggle to get everything going. The projects I have prayed about and felt the Lord leading me to do have been much more successful. I pray every step on the way from conception of the idea, to implementation, to any writings I must to do, to asking price, and marketing efforts.
