The Power of Humble Prayer Reading: Matthew 6:5-18
Devotional: As we begin this journey, let's reflect on Jesus' teachings about prayer and fasting. Notice how He emphasizes the importance of humility and sincerity in our spiritual practices. When we pray or fast, it's not for show or to impress others, but to draw closer to God.
Today, consider your motivations for seeking God. Are you looking for His approval or that of others? Remember, our Father sees what is done in secret and rewards us openly. Take time to pray quietly, focusing on God's presence rather than eloquent words. Let this be a day of honest, humble communication with your Heavenly Father.
Application: Find a quiet place to pray today, away from distractions. Pour out your heart to God, focusing on gratitude and seeking His will rather than just presenting requests.
