“Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”

Luke 11

“Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.” v1

I too desire to grow in my prayer life - and this post from DesiringGod.com struck me.  Any feelings of a spiritual desert may be due to my weak prayer life.  Help me God...to pray for more needs, more often, and with more focus and desire for You.

My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are a great God, I love You - and I need You...desperately...daily...and all day.  I am grateful that You are always with me and You will never leave or forsake me.  I am undeserving of the rich blessings You pour out for me.  I daily miss the mark and I neglect my time with You, in study and prayer.  Please forgive me Jesus and help me overcome and turn from my sin towards You. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, and mind and love others as You love me.  Help me grow in my faith.  Give Lisa and myself wisdom and strength.  Please heal Lisa of her cancer and from the side effects of chemo.  Help us lead Zach and Dustin to You Jesus and for them to choose You as their Lord and Savior.  Please provide Godly friends and spouses to Zach and Dustin.  Help me serve You, my family, my church, and others. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
