31 Day Devotional on the Lord's Prayer
I am excited to announce that I have been working on an online devotional for all who want to participate in praying through the Lord's Prayer in a deeper and more focused way! Each day, I will be posting a new devotional writing that focuses on a different word or phrase from the Lord's Prayer out of Matthew 6:9-13. There will be a prayer or activity tied into the end of the reading, as well as a worship song that I would suggest singing along with or just soaking in God's presence while the music plays. SO...
For the next 31 days, I want to invite you to journey with me as we explore the height, width, depth, and length of the Lord in the prayer that He taught His disciples to pray. Each day we will be focusing on different words and phrases from the Lord’s Prayer so that we can spend more time in the ways that our Savior has instructed us to speak, listen, and be with Him in eternal dialogue. In each devotional we will be praying and seeking greater unity and alignment with our Lord as we speak, listen to, and allow the Lord’s Prayer to happen to us.
As we begin, I only ask you to consider a few things:
- Read and Pray Matthew 6:9-13 Everyday
- Give Space and Time to Read and Pray through this devotional each day
- Commit to connecting with another in being accountable to this, on sharing what you are feeling the Lord communicating, and on encouraging them to do the same.
- Partner this time with fasting. Give up something you do, watch, eat, etc. and in it’s place fill that time with reading, praying, and being with our God.
- Don’t give up. His Presence is His Promise. Just be open.
So, welcome. I am excited to journey together; to pray, to listen, to speak, to shout, to be silent, to cry, to laugh, and to simply be with our loving King, because in all reality, He is overjoyed to simply be with us as well. Here’s to the next season of diving into the depths of our limitless Father, our eternal Messiah, and our everlasting Spirit. Here’s to growth, to challenge, to victory, and to the beauty of soaking in our Lord’s love by praying in the way He has revealed to us. Amen.
