BONUS! Week 7
October 13–19

Each day this week, start by reading Romans 12:12 and Luke 18:1-8

These passages focus on confidently and consistently going to the Lord in prayer. Both passages highlight that we are commanded to ask God “persistently” for what we need. Reflect on the areas you struggle to talk to the Lord about. Maybe it is an area you stopped praying for… entrust them to the Lord and believe in His unchanging goodness.

Day 43: “Search my heart and know me…” (Psalm 139:23). If prayer or a specific prayer request is hard to present to God, go to Him and ask if any false belief or area of sin hinders you from going to Him confidently.

Day 44: “God, I want to come to you each day continuously. Acknowledging that You are God, You are good, and You will take care of me.” Pray again over the areas you need the Lord’s provision in today.

Day 45: “Lord, because of Who You are, I rejoice in hope – not in results. Help me to trust You in trials, knowing that my joy is found in You and not in my circumstances.” Praise God for His goodness and present whatever circumstances are weighing on you.

Day 46: Reflect on the parable in Luke 18. Recall a burden you have that maybe you haven’t given to the Lord in a while. “Lord, I am reminded that You know my needs, but You also want me to give them to you continuously – trusting in your unfailing love…” Present your requests to God. 

Day 47: “Father God, I sometimes struggle to come to You. I want to come to you with my needs and my wants. Help me to believe that Your responses – whether yes, no or wait – are all for my best and your glory.” 

Day 48: As You pray, list out God’s attributes – His trustworthiness, His righteousness, His justice, etc. – “Lord, You are all these things and more! Therefore, I can come to You each day knowing You hear and see my needs. May I not neglect the joy it is to draw near to You.”

Day 49: Spend time worshiping God for all He has revealed about Himself the last few weeks. List out the needs you have and the requests of others you know and love. “God, You are mighty in power and compassionate in heart. I trust and believe You are the God who sees me. I want to present these requests to You…” (take time to present them before the Lord).
