Marks of Discipleship: Prayer

Recent studies have found that 20 minutes of prayer every day will increase and maintain the quality of your life. 

Find a quiet, comfortable  place where you can pray with out distraction. Start with familiar prayer (i.e. Luther’s Morning Prayer - We give thanks to you, heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ your dear Son, that you have protected us through the night from all harm and danger. We ask that you would also protect us today from sin and all evil, so that our life and actions may please you. Into your hands we commend ourselves: our bodies, our souls, and all that is ours. Let your holy angels be with us, so that the wicked foe may have no power over us. Amen.).   Then pray for your family, friends, the church and its ministry.  Pause and listen, What is God saying to you? In what areas of faith do you need to grow?  Finally, close with the Lord’s Prayer. Peace.
