Later I received an email from Terri W. She had reworded the seven statements to help her pray these things for herself and others.
- Pray that God would teach me to pray with a humble spirit.
- Pray that God would keep me from eloquent, showy public prayers from a prideful heart.
- Pray that God would teach me and remind me frequently what the really important requests are.
- Pray that God would help me to remember Biblical examples of answered prayer.
- Pray that God would give me confidence in his sovereign power.
- Pray that God would help me to persevere in my praying.
- Pray that God would encourage me with the truth that he is my loving Father and will give me only what is good.
I am sharing her seven statements for two reasons.
First of all, her statements are good summaries, rethinkings of Challies' statements.
Second, she shared these with her Soul Care group and me. That is what we want to happen around here. Sharing things that you have been challenged by. Thinking through how to use resources that have been provided.
TAKE OPPORTUNITIES TO SHARE WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN LEARNING AND HOW YOU HAVE BEEN GROWING WITH OTHERS!!!
