For More Persistence in My Prayer Life

Lord Jesus,
Help me be more persistent in my prayers. I ask this both for my prayer life in general and regarding specific prayers. You were deliberate about carving out time in your busy ministry for speaking to our Father in prayer. Shift my attitude about prayer so that, rather than squeezing in prayers here and there when I randomly think of it, I instead order my schedule around set times for prayer. And when I pray specific prayers, prompt me to revisit those same prayers until our Father’s answer is clear. After all, you repeated the same prayer three times in Gethsemane before giving your life for us. Let my persistent prayer life reflect the worth I attach to the magnitude of your sacrifice for me, which earned for me the privilege of prayer in the first place.  

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

To Live With Intention

Dear Lord,
You alone know the number of days assigned to each of us here on earth. Whether that time is long or short, lead us to live with intentionality. Rather than allowing life to happen to us and seeing our time here as simply responding to one series of events after another, fill us with drive and purpose. You have called us to so much that can positively impact so many, and we casually shrug our shoulders as opportunities pass us by. Forgive us for our selfish indifference toward others by loving and serving ourselves more than them. Move us to take inventory of our daily lives to more fully grasp the myriad moments each day brings for us to take action. Let your loving sacrifice on our behalf compel us to make the most of every opportunity, for our time is short and the needs of so many are so great. Give us grace-fueled drive and purpose to embrace our station in life and be deliberate about being the salt and light you set us apart to be.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
