A Comprehensive Prayer

A wonderful prayer to start one's day out with:

"Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in Your sight,
O Lord, my rock and my Redeemer." Ps. 19:14

I love the comprehensiveness of the prayer: covering the "abundance of one's heart," and the mouth that displays it.

What a great thing to pray for. Can you imagine if for just an hour both your words and meditations were acceptable to God?

Maybe one of the reasons it is not so is because we do not ask for it to be so.

Cyclonic Prayer

Pray for the people of Myanmar.

What could happen if the prayers of God's people tore throughout the earth for Myanmar with cyclonic ferocity?

Friendship

"By prayer the Christian can open his heart to God, as to a friend, and obtain fresh testimony of God's friendship to him." (p. 11)
