30 Days of Prayer
As you pray today, focus on the Scripture passage and prayer requests
DAY 4 | October 16
Deuteronomy 8:17-18 “Beware lest you say in your heart, 'My power and the might of my hand have gotten me this wealth.' You shall remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth…”
- Ask God to examine your heart and show you if there is any offense in you with respect to your wealth.
- Have you have forgotten or neglected God’s kindness to you? Take time to repent.
- Tell the Lord the ways he has provided for you and give thanks to him.
- Ask God to give you a renewed understanding that everything you possess (time, talents, treasures) belong to him.
- Pray that God would protect you from the love of money and material possessions, and that you would not covet what God has not given to you.
Why Should I Pray?
God is sovereign
All authority belongs to God, who governs creation with wisdom. We can trust Him to work for His glory and our good.
God commands prayer
Because of His sovereignty and salvation, God calls us to pray. He graciously uses our prayers to work His good and to sanctify us.
We need God
In our joys and sufferings, we can turn to God. He invites us to share our desires, growing us in His knowledge and grace. God uses prayer to transform our lives.
GOD IS WORTHY OF ADORATION AND PRAISE
We are fearfully and wonderfully made by God, who desires a relationship with us and wants to hear our thoughts. Staggering!
