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:
I lift you high in praise, my God, O my King! and I’ll bless your name into eternity. I’ll bless you every day, and keep it up from now to eternity. God is magnificent; he can never be praised enough. There are no boundaries to his greatness. Psalm 145: 1-3 MSG
Start with:
God, I give you praise today and every day. I am thankful there are no boundaries to your greatness. I worship you because you are magnificent and eternal.
Think about the day ahead. Ask God to meet your needs.
Eternal God, I need your help with a matter than seems like it will never go away: _________________________________
Pray for one person today who needs to know of God’s greatness.
