3. Prayer as Preparation (Psalm 139)
How can our hearts become ready and receptive to meet with God in prayer? In Psalm 139, David shows that one way to do this is to meditate on whom it is we’re praying to. Reflecting on God’s attributes prepares our hearts for prayer, captivating us with God’s wonder and majesty, and also driving us to a healthy measure of self-examination.
Scripture passages cited in this message include Psalm 139 and Proverbs 20:27.
