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?
To trust ,to have faith and to believe wholeheartedly without fear and doubt
to be brave and bold in prayer and to just talk to the Father
I’ve learned the need to pray all types of different prayers. God hears them all and answers.
Asking God to send me and being actually willing to go
Remembering just how good He is and what all He does. It’s deeper than what I think. He does more than what I realize. He hears and delights in spending time together, He wants to know it all. He remembers them and works all things together for good. I loved this plan.
He makes us bold, we can come to him with boldness, he hears our every utterance, he desires peace for us.
Be bold. Pray as a first response don’t panic. Stronger in numbers.
I thank God that he hears me, and wants to equip me.
