Prayer deepens our relationship with God. It allows us to express our love, commitment, needs, and burdens to Him. When we take time to pause, prayer also provides an opportunity to receive comfort, encouragement, peace, and even guidance from God.
What blessings can I thank God for today? What do I want to tell God that I love about Him?
Is there anything wrong I've done that I need to confess? Is there anything God asked me to do that I didn't do? Thank God for forgiveness, and ask for the strength to say yes today.
What are the needs, hardships, or burdens I'm carrying right now? How can I pray for the people I love? Ask God for help and to work in the places you know need it.
God, is there anything you want to say to me today? Take time to listen, perhaps even write or reflect. Let God know you trust Him, no matter what, and that the day belongs to Him.
