Finding the words

We have so many things to pray about these days and sometimes I cannot come up with words to express what I want to say.

I have started reading some of the great prayers in the Bible as my own morning prayers. Their own actual words to God help me express some of the things I am feeling. Reading from different versions also gives me some new ways to share what is in my heart.

Here is what I am reading through:
  • Genesis 18: Abraham
  • Exodus 15: Moses
  • Exodus 33: Moses
  • 2 Samuel 7: David
  • 1 Kings 8: Solomon
  • 2 Chronicles 20: Jehoshaphat
  • Ezra 9: Ezra
  • Psalm 22: For Help
  • Psalm 104: To Praise
  • Daniel 9: Daniel
  • Habakkuk 3: For Acceptance
  • Matthew 6: Jesus
  • John 17: Jesus
  • Colossians 1: Paul
