DAY 18 | Faith Hacks

The Prayer Sandwich

I remember when I was growing up being taught many ways to pray. One person told me to stand up. The next told me to kneel. Eyes opened or closed. Praying out loud or in my head. All these things are important thought, but I will never forget the prayer sandwich.

The pray sandwich consists of Thanks, Ask, Thanks. Whenever I pray, fast, or spend time with God I remember to start with thanksgiving to the Lord.

He has been so good to me and my family. Even if I have nothing to ask for, I can stop and say Thank you. Then if I am in need I ask. I know God knows what's on my mind and in my heart, but there is something about voicing my need to the Lord of the universe. He has and will care for me.

Then I wrap up my prayer sandwich with thanks again. Thanks for Him being Good. Thanks for the answer to my prayers in advance. Thank you for the breath in my lungs. Thanks for giving me another day to bring glory to His name.

Prayer

God thank you. Thank you for everything you've done for us. We ask today that you hear our prayer and give us the answers we need. Thank you for answering us in the past and always being faithful. Amen

Reflection

What do you have to be thankful for today? Is there anything you need to ask God for? What prayers has He answered already?
