Revelation 1:4-5
Grace to you and peace from him who is and who was and who is to
come, and from the seven spirits who are before his throne, and from
Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the
ruler of the kings of the earth.
‘… What I have found essential is an attitude in every
way of praying: open hands ready to receive and an
honest heart – never hiding anything.’
– Archbishop Justin Welby
Read: ‘Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us.’ Psalm 62:8
Prayer Practice: If you want to hear from God read the Bible, if you want to deepen your faith pray through the Bible. Read a passage of scripture – as it’s Ascension Day maybe use Luke 24: 36-53. Pray yourself into this; where are you in this story and how does this inform what you pray for your five friends? In your prayer allow scripture to give you a new vision of who God is.
Pause and Pray: Ask God to help the five people you are praying for to open their hearts and hands to receive His love through hearing His voice.
