Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the description of how You provide for the birds. Thank You for telling us that we are more valuable than the birds. Please remind us of the many ways You have provided. We forget too easily.

Dear Heavenly Father, we like action when we feel good about the action and the results. However, our action needs to be based in Your word as You have told us in these verses. Please guide us to take faithful action according to the instructions in the Bible. We need Your help to act appropriately and enjoy the blessing.
I pray this in Jesus’ name.
God is so good.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the prayers You recorded for us in Your Word. Thank You for examples of faithful servants who lived love as You commanded. Please help us to learn from the examples we have seen. I pray that our faith and love will “deepen our understanding of every blessing that belongs to us in Christ.” We know You give blessings, but I wonder if we sometimes miss them. May others be encouraged by the love we show to one another.
I pray this in Jesus’ name.
God is so good.
As I have studied Jesus’ example prayer, I have looked for Bible verses that help me pray each portion. Jesus started with “Holy is Your name”. This is an indicator of respect and praise. God is worthy of praise. There is much evidence for God’s worthiness if we pay attention.
Dear Heavenly Father, I want to speak the awe and praise that You deserve. You have done so many wonderful things. Creation is a boast of great beauty and creativity. Sunsets are still one of my favorite parts of creation. You have always followed through on what You promise to do.
Thank You!
I pray this in Jesus name.
God is so good.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your perfect example of faithfulness. Please help us to remember that You value faithfulness in the small things as well as the big. We need Your help in all things. Please help us to see our dishonesty and make corrections. Faithfulness honors You and we want to glorify Your name.
I pray this in Jesus’ name.
God is so good.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the hope You give. We rejoice in the comfort hope provides. Please help us to persevere though the difficulties we face. We come to You in prayer. Please help us to remain dedicated to prayer as You have commanded. We know Your commands are always right.
I pray this in Jesus’ name.
God is so good.
