Whether you have made prayer a habit for many years or this is your first prayer devotional, inspiration is waiting for you in the daily prayers written here. Prayer is a conversation with God. You don’t need to use big words. Just talk to God. Open your heart. He is listening to every word you say.
As you develop a habit of prayer, think about this: • Praise. Begin by telling God how wonderful he is. Focus on the attributes you are grateful for. • Repentance. Before you present your needs to God, take a moment to examine your heart and ask for forgiveness. • Ask. What do you need from your Father in heaven today? Ask boldly; he is listening. • Yield. Ask as if it will be done and yield to God’s will. He knows what you don’t and may have something even better in mind. Trust him.
Some days your prayers may be filled with gratitude, some days with repentance, and some with need. Lay your heart and your prayers at the Father’s feet and wait for his powerful response.
