PSALM 6:9 (CEB)
The LORD has listened to my request.
The LORD accepts my prayer.
JOHN 16:24 (MSG)
This is what I want you to do: Ask the Father for whatever is in keeping with the things I’ve revealed to you. Ask in my name, according to my will, and he’ll most certainly give it to you. Your joy will be a river overflowing its banks!
SUMMARY SENTENCE
God is listening so please ask.
PRAYER
Thank you, God, for inviting our prayers. You are eager to listen but I'm not so good at asking. When I do pray, I ask for all the wrong things and don't really set aside the time to figure out what is appropriate. Help me to learn to listen so that I can become aggressive in asking. Might your will be done in 2021. Amen.
Since 2006, I've been modeling one way of using the MORAVIAN DAILY TEXTS* to maintain a daily conversation with God.
