1st Thing a "christians" should do is to identify, confess and eliminate all practicing sins in their life, without any excuses and then they are able to restore their fellowship with God. Then they are restore in the fellowship of believers and into collected prayer of all believers in the body of Christian automatically. Then the restoration process has begun. The written WORD READING is a necessity, for it is the bread of life, and a light unto your path and guide for your feet.
Doing these hard times, must likely you will not be able to pray. But you will be able to talk to God, "Child of GOD". For Jesus is making "intercessory" for you, he really knows what is going on. That is why He is there. "He is making intercessory for His own". and not The World.
(Romans 8:34)
It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.
