Introduction: Free to Pray –
The next 7 days our focus in prayer is confessing our need for God. The purpose of these daily prayers is to deepen our dependency on God. Prayer is all about our relationship with God. God’s plan and desire is for us to walk in close relationship with Him, and we do that through prayer. As you begin our 40 Days of Prayer keep in mind that God is pursuing you. God wants you to know Him, trust Him, and experience a powerful prayer life with Him.
“The Spirit of the Lord God is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and freedom to the prisoners.”
Isaiah 61:1
Prayer:
Father, I acknowledge that I am poor. I am the one who needs to receive the good news. I need you to heal me and set me free. Lord, I need you to reveal to me anything that has captured my attention, my heart, my devotion and is keeping me from seeking you in prayer. I need you to reveal to me what you want to heal in my heart and help me trust you.
Lord, I need you to give me a passion to seek you in prayer. I commit these 40 days of prayer to you, and I ask you to reveal yourself to me, heal my heart, and set me free from anything that keeps me from seeking you in prayer. In Jesus’ name, amen.
