To Grow in and Through Prayer
Abba Father,
Help us pray. While we rest securely in your perfect life of righteousness that is credited to us by faith, we also look at your holy life and feel so small and inadequate. You did all things not just well, but flawlessly – including prayer. We struggle with knowing what to pray for, with finding the right words to pray, and with aligning our wishes with your will. Enlighten us through your Word with a deeper understanding of prayer, inform our prayers with your Word, and through that same Word, awaken in us a burning desire to fill more of our days with time spent in prayer. Through your Spirit, establish robust and healthy prayer habits in our lives and in the lives of all believers. Let our victory in Jesus be the source of our bold confidence in approaching your throne of grace at all times and in every situation.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
