LAMENTATIONS 3:41 (CEB)
We should lift up our hearts and hands to God in heaven.
EPHESIANS 6:18 (CEV)
Never stop praying, especially for others. Always pray by the power of the Spirit. Stay alert and keep praying for God’s people.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Prayer is our vocation.
PRAYER
God, you have called us to give ourselves over to prayer. Sometimes I zone out and let that slide -- giving attention to things that have the appearance of being more immediately fruitful. Help me stay attentive to your Holy Spirit, who is working in me even when I'm inattentive. During the busyness of this holiday season, I'm going to slow down and refocus my attention on the call to ongoing prayer. Amen.
THE LORD'S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
Since 2015, I've been modeling one way of using the MORAVIAN DAILY TEXTS* to maintain a daily conversation with God.
