We have experienced your goodness
Thank you, heavenly Father, for another opportunity this year to focus on prayer. Impress upon our hearts yet again what a privilege it is to be able to have an audience with you at any time. Make this month special to us as we devote ourselves more intently on our prayers and on seeking your face.
We are grateful that when two or three agree in the kingdom and ask that your will be done, that you will do it.
Thank you for hearing us individually when we pray to you in private.
We have experienced your goodness, often shown to us in answered prayers. Let us never be bashful in seeking your blessing for ourselves and our neighbors.
Jesus is our example in prayer, so we praise you for the revelation of his life and relationship with you.
Help us to be more like him every day, in our prayers and in every way.
My Lord Jesus does all things well, always speaks well
My Lord Jesus does all things well, always speaks well, because he acts outside of himself, for the good of others. Heavenly Father, make me like him; make me lose myself in you; make me over in the image of yourself. This I desire above all else.
