Would your spouse, kids, or best friend say you look more like Jesus today than yesterday? Let’s pray about that!

15 min - Longing to Know God [Ephesians 1:15-23]
“To put the matter at its most basic, Paul’s prayer is the product of his passion for people. His unaffected fervency in prayer is not whipped-up emotionalism but the overflow of his love for brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus. That means that if we are to improve our praying, we must strengthen our loving. As we grow in disciplined, self-sacrificing love, so we will grow in intercessory prayer.” ― D.A. Carson
Today we pray through Paul’s prayers for the Ephesians.

15 min - Current Events: Back to School Prayers
We’ve started another school year in what we’d hoped would be normal conditions. But, as Covid classes surge, and more students are affected, nothing seems normal yet. Teachers and staff are struggling with many of the same responses to their work as the health care workers we prayed for last week. So, today, we’re praying all things “back to school.”

About Praying Scripture
From the publisher's feed
I was a long time into my life as a Christ-follower. Years. Maybe even decades-old as a believer before I began the practice of praying scripture, before I’d even heard of it.
I’ve done fancy prayer journals, simple prayers, organized and led three-day fasting and prayer events, and church prayer retreats. I’ve read countless books on prayer. But, other than simply sitting in the presence of God and feeling loved on, praying scripture is my favorite type of prayer.
Praying using the words of God is simple and helps keep our hearts and mind focused during prayer (hello, who else has trouble staying on task in prayer?). It gives us confidence that our words are based in truth and aligns our perspective with God’s.
This show is about learning by doing. I won't be teaching, I'll actually be praying and we record the episodes live each weekday on Facebook.
In every episode, we pray through four topics: worship, a psalm, prayer for ourselves, and prayer for our culture.
My heart is that as we pray scripture together, that we’ll grow in our prayer lives, that God will use this time to direct our hearts in our own circumstances, and that he’ll answer these prayers in mighty ways.
But most of all, I hope that by joining me in praying scripture, you’ll fall deeper in love with the God who gave us these words.
Get comfy and let’s get started!
