In worship, God imparts himself to us.
— C.S.Lewis
As we begin a journey of praying through scripture, each day will be focused on the four elements, which consist of: worship, appropriating truth (spiritual growth), walking in the light (confession), and knowing God more as well as a specific focus to pray for different people each day. This focus is intended to guide you through a time of prayer - for yourself, for your loved ones, for your school, etc. Remember last week I introduced the idea of walking with God as though we were in the garden with Him again and to walk in the light with Him through this life. This imagery along with the key themes found in the Lord’s prayer lead us to the acronym WALK.
Worship the God who hears our prayersAppropriate the truth of scripture as you grow in your walk of faithLight - Walk in the light by openly confessing your sins and need for GodKnow Him more and more as you spend time with Him dailyBefore you come to the Lord in prayer, take a minute to quiet your heart, to slow your breathing, to eliminate distractions, and focus on Jesus.
WALK:
Jesus, today I come to You, eagerly desiring to walk alongside You in this life and to honor You in all that I do. Today let me sense Your presence and hear Your voice as I walk with You.
God, you are the Creator, the Maker of all things.
Psalm 8:1-4 (speak these words aloud, and repeat them personally to our great God)
Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory
in the heavens.
Through the praise of children and infants
you have established a stronghold against your enemies,
to silence the foe and the avenger.
When I consider your heavens,
the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which you have set in place,
what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
human beings that you care for them?
Appropriate the truth of scripture as you grow in your walk of faith
Lord, as the apostle Paul prayed for the church, may Your work in my life and in my families life:
Ephesians 1:17-19
I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe.
Lord, I want to keep short accounts with You. I am so grateful for Your amazing forgiveness and I don’t ever want to take that for granted. Help me to live my life openly and honestly before you. (Confess any sin today and claim His abundance grace to forgive and cleanse).
1 John 1:7-9
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.
If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
Lord, I seek to know You more.
Psalm 19:1-6
1 The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they reveal knowledge.
They have no speech, they use no words;
no sound is heard from them.
Yet their voice goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.
In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun.
It is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
like a champion rejoicing to run his course.
It rises at one end of the heavens
and makes its circuit to the other;
nothing is deprived of its warmth.
