![]() “one of his Disciples said to Him, ‘Lord, teach us to pray.’” –Luke 11:1 Prayer is the way that the life of Christ in us is nourished. The Bible tells us that we may get to know God himself through our prayer. P ● R ● A ● Y can guide us in our petition. P ● Praise God for who He is and what He has already done. R ● Repent; recognize and expose where you are still resisting God in your life. Not only resisting His commands but the blessings and benefits He gives those who follow him. A ● Asking; you’ve been invited to ask, seek and knock. Your requests must be known to Him, be personal and specific. Also ask for guidance, counsel and the courage to trust His word. Y ● Yes; thy will be done. Expect God to respond with His boundless love for you. To say prayer changes things is not as accurate as saying prayer changes me and I change things, clearing the obstacles in my heart to receive His miracles. PRAYER: Almighty and Everlasting God, from whom cometh every good and perfect gift. We have sinned and fallen short of living a holy life. Restore us and prepare our hearts to receive your word. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Thought for the Day: Prayer is the way that the life of Christ in us is nourished. Written by Sandra Hudson
