Prayer is not just about asking God to do things for us – it
is spending time with Him. Prayer is communication
in which there is giving and receiving. God freely gives to us so much every
day in all things. So today is all about lavishing love on God.
Types of Prayer
Adoration &
Praise
This type of prayer is simply recognizing how awesome God
is! It is naming all the good things He does; admiring His handiwork; exalting
His attributes. Start with telling Him what your relationship with Him means to
do. Look around you at your blessings, at creation. Praise Him for being GOD!
Prayer Guide
I love to dwell in your presence God; there is no place I’d
rather be…
How
lovely is Your tabernacle,
O Lord of hosts!
My soul longs, yes, even faints
For the courts of the Lord;
My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God…
O Lord of hosts!
My soul longs, yes, even faints
For the courts of the Lord;
My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God…
For
a day in Your courts is better
than a thousand.
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
Than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
For the Lord God is a sun and shield;
The Lord will give grace and glory;
No good thing will He withhold
From those who walk uprightly.

Psalm 84:1-2, 10-11
Thank You, Lord, for all you do for me…
Bless
the Lord, O my soul;
And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
And forget not all His benefits:
Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases,
Who redeems your life from destruction,
Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,
Who satisfies your mouth with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
And all that is within me, bless His holy name!

Psalm
103:1-5
Thank You for loving me and adopting me as Your own…
For
as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For
you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the
Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.”
…. For I am persuaded
that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor
things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created
thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ
Jesus our Lord.
Romans
8:14-15, 38-39
Your Law and Your Word are perfect. Help me to love it more
each day…
The
law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul;
The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple;
The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart;
The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes;
The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever;
The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
More to be desired are they than gold,
Yea, than much fine gold;
Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
Moreover by them Your servant is warned,
And in keeping them there is great reward.

Psalm
19:7-11
You are magnificent Creator and
Lord over all the earth…
Sing
to the Lord with thanksgiving;
Sing praises on the harp to our God,
Who covers the heavens with clouds,
Who prepares rain for the earth,
Who makes grass to grow on the mountains.
He gives to the beast its food,
And to the young ravens that cry.

worship songs in your time with God. Meditate on some Psalms. Pray on bended
knee or bowed over on the ground. Let’s give God the adoration He deserves.
