Praying The Bible

Praying The Bible

We continue our prayer summer school theme with an encouragement to pray using the Bible. If you’re anything like me, prayer doesn’t come easy or natural. When I get alone with God, my mind can wander. Coming up with new prayers is a challenge, and the prayer lists can often feel uninspired. To remedy this, I recommend praying through Scripture itself, especially the prayers in the Bible, which are inspired by the Holy Spirit. Talking to God using the Psalms, the prayers of the apostles or even the prayers of Jesus can really set our heart aflame. So next time you’re in the secret place, open your Bible and pray what you’re reading. God is sure to meet with you in a new and refreshing way. Now that’s something to pray about!
