Prayer Points

Four easy points to pray today.

How to pray better.

I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened. Luke 11:9-10

God, teach me to pray. Give me a hunger for it, a discipline for it, and honesty in it. Help me listen as much as I speak. Let prayer be something I want, not just something I do. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Pray what He has already said.

‘Call to me, and I will answer you, and will show you great and difficult things, which you don’t know.’ Jeremiah 33:3

Lord, I pray for the people in my life. Keep them safe. Heal them where they hurt. Draw them close to You. Give me what I need to love them well. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path. Psalm 119:105

Lord, I speak Your word over my life: that I’m Yours, that I’m loved, and that You have a plan. Let what You say be louder than what I fear. In Jesus’ name, amen.

A simple order for the morning.
