Try starting every day praying through the Lord’s Prayer.
o Our Father who is Heaven: Recognize God’s presence with you now and reflect on the day before where you noticed His presence.
o Hallowed be your name: Spend time worshiping, thanking, and treasuring God.
o Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven: Pray for God’s love and will to happen in your life, your family, your neighbors, our church, and our world.
o Give us today our daily bread: Tell God all your worries and concerns, your wants and needs, and your hopes and dreams. Ask for his resources and supplies.
o Forgive us as we forgive others: Confess. Name your sins and be honest about your anger or hurt as a result of others. Seek God’s strength and power to forgive those you find it difficult to forgive.
o Lead us not into temptation: In humility seek God’s rescue, His grace, and His mercy, so that you can recognize his consolation when it comes.
