Below is how we will use this prayer plan.⁣
⁣
Every day we start with a prayer of adoration. Why do we pray this way? It’s been said that, “a picture is worth 1000 words”. When we are able to taste and see God (Psalm 34:8) our hearts are alive because we can both receive love from Him and give love to Him. ⁣
⁣
𝗜𝗻 𝗮𝗱𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗲:⁣
𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗶𝘀𝗲 His character. ⁣
Acknowledge His attributes. ⁣
𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗲 His beauty. ⁣
𝗪𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 Him as Savior.⁣
⁣
In the Father’s redemptive plan, it is His intention for Jesus “the image of the invisible God” (Colossians 1:15) to be seen, known, and worshiped by every tribe and tongue throughout the nations of the earth. Praying the Bible and worshiping Jesus for Who He is, joins the prayer and worship in heaven (Revelation 4) that continually adores Jesus in this way.⁣
⁣
What makes adoration prayer unique? Adoration is He centered vs. We centered. ⁣
Our focus is on who He is, not on how we are doing. ⁣
Our focus is on His worth, not our circumstances.⁣
⁣
Adoration builds faith in who He is so we can have confidence when we make our requests, and open hearts when He speaks. As we pray, our hearts become positioned to “boldly come before the throne of grace” (Hebrews 4:16) in intercession.⁣
⁣
𝗔𝗱𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 is agreement with who God is. 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 is our acknowledgment that we are not where He is but want to turn from our ways to align with Him. ⁣
𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 is agreement with what God has promised to do.⁣
⁣
Why do we anchor our prayer and intercession in the Bible? ⁣
⁣
The Bible is God’s language, the language of His heart, the language of heaven. ⁣
⁣
The Bible is positive in nature and encouraging to our spirit and renewing to our minds. ⁣
⁣
The Bible is faith filled and has no doubt or unbelief. ⁣
⁣
The Bible creates unity in God’s people as we pray and worship from it.⁣
