The God Who Sends
Open Your Bible
Isaiah 6:1-10, Matthew 28:18-20, John 20:21
BY She Reads Truth
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.
In light of all that we have learned through this reading plan, what will you take with you in your prayer life moving forward?

@Kristen, I also read the Enduring Word commentary! It was so good!!! I usually only read commentaries when I need help understanding God’s heart behind something. Here is what stuck out to me.
“Here am I! Send me: Isaiah emphatically answered God’s call. He did not hesitate. Isaiah wanted to be the answer to God’s question.
i. What created this kind of heart in Isaiah? First, he had a heart that had been in the presence of God. He had a heart that knew its own sinfulness. He had a heart that knew the need among the people, the need for God’s word. He had a heart that had been touched by God’s cleansing fire. And he had a heart that heard God’s heart to reach the nations.”

Rebecca, I can’t help but cry at the beauty of your story as I hold on to the promise of restoration for my sweet family. Thanks be to God.

I will take that prayer is a relationship that requires talking and listening. Nothing is too big or small to talk to God about. Also to be bolder in prayer. I should not limit God because I am limited and can’t see it happening. How easily I forget the amazing ways he has moved in my life.

I can talk with God and I can pray about anything, anywhere, and anytime to God.
Be blessed and pray whenever you feel led to.
