Written by Philip Reinders, a contemporary writer. Today’s prayer is based on the Heidelberg Catechism question 116 (Why is prayer so important?)
God who speaks and listens, if I waited to feel in the mood, I fear you wouldn’t hear too much from me. I need prayer to keep me freshly aware that I depend on you for everything and that everything I have is a gift from you. And so here I am, with open hands and grateful heart. Amen.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. [Psalm 139:14]
