PRAYING EFFECTIVELY
Scripture:
I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people.
As you make your requests, plead for God's
mercy upon them, and give thanks. Pray this
way for kings and all others who are in authority,
so that we can live in peace and quietness, in
godliness and dignity.
1 Timothy 2:1-2 NLT
Reflection:
Paul urges Timothy to lift up requests, prayers,
intercession, and thanksgiving.
When we pray effectively, we do more than
communicate with God—we commune with him.
We become one in mind and spirit and purpose.
Today, let the focus of your prayer time be to
connect with God in a very real and personal way,
not as a slave would petition his master, but as a
son would enjoy the company of a loving and
gracious father.
Prayer:
(COMMUNE WITH GOD)
