Day 3

Day 3:

READ: Psalm 145:18 and Matthew 6:7 and Colossians 1:15-17

The next qualifications of prayer are that prayer should be sincere and simple.

These passages show us that God knows our heart…there is no magic series of words that will get us the things that we want. We are spending time in a relationship with Jesus who holds all things together!

Colossians 1:15–17 (ESV)

¹⁵ He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. ¹⁶ For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. ¹⁷ And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

Do you have a worry about the trip? Are you concerned for the lost people you know? Pray about it. God knows your heart and even before you ask, He knows. Bring it to Him. 

This will come into play during our trip. While we are in country, we will find that there are language barriers, cultural differences, and other road-blocks. Rest easy, knowing that our sincere, simple prayers for these people will be heard.

CHALLENGE: As you go through your day, simply take time to pray simply and sincerely for the people you come across.
