As today is a day of prayer and fasting called by our Presbytery and Session, we want to encourage you to use the time well. If you haven’t been following Pastor Robbin’s Sunday evening sermon series on “The Basics of Christian Prayer,” we highly recommend you check it out here at Sermon Audio to get the full series. We also want to mention a very helpful resource made available from Crossway Publishers. It’s called “Praying the Bible” and is taught by Donald Whitney, the author of the excellent Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life. Navigate to the site and sign up. Over just a few minutes, in the course of a few days, Whitney can help you transform how you pray as he models praying the Scriptures. Check out the introduction here at Crossway.
…Join Don Whitney on a 5-day journey to learn a simple, practical, and biblical approach to prayer that will turn duty into delight! In just a few minutes a day, you’ll learn a time-tested method that could transform your prayer life: praying the words of the Bible.
As a testimony to the method, my college mentor and friend, Dr. Jim Covey (RUF Campus Minister, United States Air Force Academy), taught me and several friends this pattern of prayer over a spring break mission trip. 20 years later I can say without exaggeration that it radically transformed how we’ve prayed to this day.
Sign up for a daily emails (only six days worth) and you may find yourself greatly blessed in how you pray.
