I rarely use devotional books. I really don’t see the point of most of them and if I’m going to attempt to read something daily, I want it to be the Bible itself. That being said, Paul David Tripp’s devotional New Morning Mercies is actually quite good and on occasion I read a daily entry or two.
The entry for Sept. 13, was focused on how prayer is a form of worship it included these seven statements which I found helpful:
- Pray acknowledges God’s existence
- Prayer bows to God’s glory
- Prayer submits to God’s plan
- Prayer confesses allegiance to God’s kingdom
- Prayer rests in God’s provision
- Prayer celebrates God’s grace
- Prayer commits to God’s work
