To Build Up My Prayer Life
Holy Spirit,
Your intercession always ensures that my prayers are music to the ears of the Father. Thank you for the privilege of prayer and for the opportunity it affords me to bring anything to you in prayer. When I consider how I might grow in my prayer life, certainly the frequency of my prayers can always increase. Prompt me to speak to you both during the same set times each day and to offer prayers at any given moment – impromptu prayers whenever the circumstances call for it.
Shape the content of my prayers, so that not only my daily bread and physical wants and needs make up most of my prayers, but also the spiritual asks which align with your will for me. When the substance of my prayers is primarily spiritual, I am focused more on your kingdom work and the soul of my neighbor and his needs. When you provide me with spiritual growth, I am better equipped for your work and ministry.
So set my heart and mind on heavenly things. Increase my faith. Deepen my understanding of your love. Strengthen my confidence in your salvation and as a result, fill me daily with the joy of simply being yours.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
