Prayer First Aid.

So Monday night (January 25th), during my quiet time with God, I didn't know what to pray for. I was stuck at a standstill the words weren't there.

I told God, "Father, I honestly don't know what to pray for. I feel like my heart isn't in the right place right now and I want you to soften it and make it Yours. Let my heart, my ears, my eyes, and my mind be open to receiving Your Word and Your Spirit. Fill me."

I ended my prayer like that.

Then last night (Tuesday, January 26th) for my daily devotional, the title was "Prayer First Aid."



I was like WHAT!? WHOAAH!? That's legit.

The first couple words of the devotional were: If you've ever struggled to know what to pray for or how to pray, this list, based on Psalm 25:16-21 will help you focus on some of the most important aspects of prayer.



It outlined 6 points: Honesty, Petition, Confession, Circumstances, Faith, and Dedication. each of them referring to Psalm 25:16-21.

Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted. The troubles of my heart have multiplied; free me from my anguish. Look upon my affliction and my distress and take away all my sins. See how my enemies have increased and how fiercely they hate me! Guard my life and rescue me; let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in you. May integrity and uprightness protect me, because my hope is in you.
[Psalm 25:16-21]

Awesome stuff.
