- Change your prayer posture
- Offer your day to God
- Pray a balanced prayer
Elizabeth shares details on reserving a time in your day and components of prayer, among several others. Her full article (HERE) is worth the read, for sure.
POTENTIAL ACTION: Is “daily prayer” on your to-do list or calendar? If not, consider adding this to your official list or create some other methodical approach for coming to God in daily prayer (first thing in the morning, before bed, before meals or __________.)
PRAYER (elements of the prayer from Elizabeth’s article)
Almighty God, Today I offer myself completely to you: all my thoughts, all my words, all I do. Make my every movement a living prayer; help me unite myself to your son Jesus Christ in heart, mind and soul. For Jesus’ sake, Amen.
Enjoy the day, filled with the Spirit!
