Though Scripture contains many written prayers, like those found in the book of Psalms, and many teachings on how to pray, like the parables and sermons in Jesus’s ministry, this reading plan focuses on the prayers offered to God in the narratives of Scripture. Each day we’ll read a narrative that includes a prayer from an individual or group. Their prayers vary in length, type, posture, purpose, and God’s response. The secondary passages explore how the rest of Scripture speaks to the themes demonstrated in the main reading.
While each account is different, every prayer recorded in Scripture teaches us about the unchanging God who invites us to speak to and hear from Him. These prayers model for us what it can look like to be in conversation with God. As you read, notice the posture and emotions present each day.
Reading Scripture together is the centerpiece of what we do at She Reads Truth. As we spend time as a community reading Prayers in Scripture together, we encourage you to start by reading the daily Scripture on your own. Then join us here to engage and encourage one another as we respond to what we’ve read in the comments.
This Monday, we’ll start the week thanking God for His forgiveness. Share with others in the global community why you’re thankful for a God who forgives.
Having a God who forgives, means having a reset button for me. Meaning God never faults me or holds my mistakes against me.
I’m thankful He chooses me and forgives when I constantly mess up. He doesn’t leave me. He forgives us always. We don’t deserve it. He is always there with open areas
Without forgiveness we had very little hope. Thank you Lord that we are never too far gone. Your arms are always open for us to run back to.
I am so thankful that God forgives. That no matter what happens and how far gone I feel he will always be right there
I’m thankful for a God who forgives because I know that I cannot enter the Kingdom on my own merit, and that I continually disobey God, however, in His grace He forgives us and makes us new. Thank you Jesus.
there is never time when you are too far gone to receive Gods grace and forgiveness. His character shows us how to forgive others and forgive ourselves too.
Thank you God for forgiving our sins time and time again. May I be filled with the Holy Spirit and be as forgiving and loving as You toward everyone around me and let Your light shine through me. Amen
I am so thankful for God who is always forgiving. I am so thankful that I am renewed every sunrise. I am thankful my God loves me so much he can forgive me.
