Our focus this week will be on the P.R.A.I.S.E. pattern of prayer, the first of many that were completely new to me. I particularly enjoyed this prayer pattern because it began with thanking God for what He has already done. I found that this opening act positioned my heart for all that followed. It “flowed” well with how my heart and mind are wired, so to speak. Another element that I appreciated was praying His Word, however He illuminated it to me that day in my morning devotional. (The way my day unfolds, I spend time in the Word in the morning and time in prayer in the afternoon so there was time to savor & ponder what He had shown me before praying it.) I also enjoyed the time at the end to just enjoy His presence, to “be still and know that He is God.”
