The purpose of prayer is to nurture a relationship with God.

Pray from your heart.

 

My heavenly Father, unto whom all my heart is open, all my desires are known, and from whom no secrets of mine are hidden, I pray cleanse the thoughts of my heart by the inspiration and power of Your Holy Spirit, and make me numb to the impulses of temptation, that I may not sin against You, and that I may perfectly love You, and worthily magnify Your holy name. I am thankful that You are my Father, and that I belong to You. I confess that apart from You I am lost and have nothing. Forgive me this day for everything I have done, said, or thought that was not pleasing to You. My struggle with sin makes me want You more, and to love You more. By Your will You created me to be free, but sin has robbed me of my freedom; yet by the shed blood of Your Son, my Savior, Jesus Christ, You have redeemed me to Yourself, and by His perfect obedience I am no longer a slave to sin. He has emancipated me, and made me Your child. And now I live in Your kingdom with Him. Make me an active follower of Jesus Christ, who manifested Himself on earth as both Lord and servant. I was captured by His love, and so now my life’s purpose is to know and to serve You, You who are the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. By Your grace and in His righteousness my soul stands naked before You, without shame or guilt. You saved me by Your grace and by Your grace You keep me. Thank You for always encompassing me with Your unfailing love. Move in my heart that I should love others as You love me. Your Kingdom come; Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Hear now the meditations of my heart and prayer, which I pray in Jesus’ holy name. Amen.
