Somewhere I read “Don’t seek a prayer life. Seek a prayer life! If you limit your prayerfulness to “quiet times” and church activities and don’t include your ordinary life with problems to solve, work to do, and people to see then you’ll live largely separated from God’s grace.” And that in and of itself, whether true or not, should be enough to kindle a prayer in us. When it’s hardest to pray—pray the hardest. There is much truth in “The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.” (James 5:16b NKJV) Remember—It’s not the quantity of your prayer but the quality of it. Peter only said three words…”Lord save me!” and Jesus immediately came to his rescue. (Matthew 14:30 NKJV) And that same Jesus is extending a hand to rescue you from drowning in your sea of sorrows and trials today!

Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.”

So He said to them, “When you pray, say:

Our Father in Heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us day by day our daily bread.
And forgive us our sins,
For we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us.
And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.” (Luke 11:1-4 NKJV)

“The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you;  The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.” (Numbers 6:24-26 NKJV)
