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:
For you, Lord God, are brighter than the brilliance of a sunrise! Wrapping yourself around me like a shield, you are so generous with your gifts of grace and glory. As I walk along your paths with integrity I will never lack one thing I need, for you provide it all! Psalm 84:11 TPT
Start with:
God, I praise you for your generosity to me. I worship you because you share your light, your grace, and your glory with me.
Think about the day ahead. Ask God to meet your needs.
Heavenly Father, today I need you to be generous in _________________________________
