We know the importance and value of prayer. As James 5:16 (NIRV) says: The prayer of a godly person is powerful. Things happen because of it.
Sometimes, though, we need a little help to find a routine and pray consistently — to make prayer a habit. I want to help you get intentional in your prayer life.
Each day I will provide you with an opportunity to practice prayer — to help you pray naturally. These will be simple, biblically-based prayer prompts with fill-in-the-blanks that you can personalize for yourself and your life.
Here is today’s prayer prompt:
The person of Jesus Christ is altogether powerful to change our lives in every aspect. But, how often do we focus on the richness of who Jesus is for us?
As we center on an aspect of our Savior today, the prayer below will lead you to celebrate who you are in Jesus and help you become more Christ-like in your day-to-day living.
You are God’s children. He sent Christ Jesus to save us and to make us wise, acceptable, and holy. 1 Corinthians 1:30
Start with:
Father, I thank you that through Jesus I can make good judgments and respond sensibly and shrewdly in situations. Thank you that I am not only good enough and adequate in who I am and all I do, but Jesus has made me pure, clean, and set apart as holy and excellent in every way.
Then:
Father, I need wisdom in _______________. I ask you to cleanse me from __________________.
Ask God to show you one way you can be wise today.
