DAILY FODDER
How do you pray when you're too frustrated to pray? What can you do now to prepare yourself to pray more consistently during the challenging times?
PRAYER
Loving God, you're all ears — ready to engage with us when we're hurting — eager to hear our songs when we're happy. Forgive me for trying to keep it all to myself. I know I can't handle it all but I need constant reminders to turn to you. Teach me to develop a prayer pattern that will stay constant through difficult times. I will turn to you in both the happy and sad times we all face — yes, even devoted followers of Christ Jesus, in whose name I pray. Amen.
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
