I'm excited to get started with our online devotions. I hope that you find time every day this week to vist the blog, read from the Word, and leave comments/questions/ideas for the rest of us to consider.
THURSDAY: Read Matthew 6:1-8. In these verses, Jesus is tells his disciples what appropriate praise and prayer should be like. When reading, ask yourself if this is how you pray. If not, how can you change your attitude and actions to be more like what Jesus describes.
FRIDAY: Read Matthew 6:9-13. This is what we know as the Lord's Prayer. Try to put this prayer in your own words. Use it as a basic frame, and then add your own praises, thanks you's, requests, etc.
SATURDAY: Read Psalms 99 (it's only 9 verses). What kind of prayer is this? Is it hopeful or sad? Is it praise or a request? It is okay that it's so short? Remember that we are commanded to pray without ceasing; remind yourself to pray short prayers throughout the day tomorrow.
SUNDAY: See you at church!
MONDAY: Read 1 Peter 5:5-11. What kind of instructions does Peter give young church members? How do these instructions impact your prayer life? Is there an "elder" (older member) in the church who might be a prayer partner with you?
TUESDAY: Read Philippians 1:9-10. This prayer is meant for us, too! How can you keep on growing in your knowledge and understanding? Have your prayers this week helped you accomplish this?
WEDNESDAY: See you at church!
