Prayer in the Bible Day 10 - Practice Petition

Day 10 Scripture: Matthew 26:36-46 and Philippians 4:6-7

Practice, practice, practice - practice is the only way to become comfortable with prayer. While we will never achieve "perfection" on this earth, God's will for us is for a closer relationship with His perfection. 

Today we will practice how best to approach God with our petitions. Each desire that we have is important to us and in turn important to Him. Part of practicing prayer is so we know that we can go to God for anything, safety, comfort, guidance, wisdom, and in prayers of petition. 

For today's practice exercise I would suggest a journal or you want to simply pray through the list below.

• Thank God for watching over you and always being at your side. Repent if you feel you have hidden anything from God over the past few days.

• Try to find something to ask God for (anything large or small).

• Make sure to be specific when you pray, don't hold anything back.

• Be bold in asking God for what you want - He can even grant what you might think is impossible. 

End your prayers with "Not my will, but yours be done. Amen"

Philippians 4:6-7 "Don't worry about anything, instead pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God's peace which exceeds anything we can understand. Hid peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus."
