How to pray for reliance on God
I sound like a broken record, but hear me out
I’ve said it before and I will continue to say it until it is embedded in my own brain (and yours)!
You should be regularly praying for reliance on God.
I’ve shared about my journey on relying on God when times are tough. But I don’t think I have shared much in the way of specifics for each area of my life.
But, let’s not jump ahead.
For now, all I need you to know today is how to pray for reliance on God.
Here’s how to get in the habit of daily praying for reliance on God’s provision in your life.
Realize everyday that it all could be gone in an instant. You are not guaranteed that your life will continue in a positive or negative direction.
Recognize that you don’t have control over the decisions of those around you, so even if you control your own actions…someone will inevitably make a decision that throws you off course.
Respond to this knowledge by seeking provision from God, Our Father, Creator and Ruler of everything we can see and not see, touch and not touch, sense and not sense.
Pray for what you need each day, knowing that God has helped you before, is helping you now, and will help you again.
There are no magic words to say, no magic prayer stance to take. It just takes the ability to humble yourself before God, the Holy One, the Most Other, Our Father, and know that God provides even when we don’t see it or believer it.
My prayer for today
Our Father, may your will be done. Jesus, may your kingdom that is here-but-not-yet come. Spirit, may I rely on God every single day. Amen.
Remember
Knowing how to pray for reliance starts by realizing that nothing in this life is permanent, good or bad. So start there and build up to the rest.
