When we get ahold of the truth that the all-powerful sovereign God wants to have relationship with us, it makes us come alive. It makes our spirits jump. It makes us want to press into His presence. When we see Him for who He really is, not what others have told us nor what our hurt and pain have led us to believe, we are overwhelmed, in a good sense of that word.
This week I look at scriptures about God’s heart and then model praying those scriptures for you. As we pray the Word, it transforms us from the inside out. It coaches us. It trains us how to pray other prayers that springboard from the Word of God. Therefore, I strongly encourage you to watch the video.
The passages we look at today and I model praying in first person are:
- To know God’s wisdom, revelation, and love:
- Ephesians 1:17-23; 2:6.
- Ephesians 3:14-21
- To give thanks in our circumstances and not be anxious:
- 4:6-7
- I Thessalonians 5:16-18
This week, take one of these passages, put it into first person and pray it out. It may be a little awkward at first but keep going for it. You will get the hang of it!
