And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. - Ephesians 6:18
I know you read this verse yesterday, but let’s think about it again. Paul tells us to pray with all kinds of prayers. Have you ever thought about the fact that there are many ways to pray? I tend to get stuck in a prayer rut: “God, could you help me with…?” Richard J. Foster wrote a book called Prayer: Finding the Heart’s True Home that outlines 21 different kinds of prayer, such as intercessory prayer, healing prayer, prayers of suffering, and many, many more.
Today, do something different during your prayer time. Spend the whole time thanking God for all the things you have that you can see. Go outside and praise God for his creation. Sit in silence and just listen, not asking God for anything. Pray for others’ needs only. Let’s put this verse into practice by experimenting with prayer today. It’s legal, I promise. Try it out!
