I came across something in my reading that I thought was helpful - a to-do list for our daily lives from King David himself!
Open up your Bible to 1st Chronicles 16, verses 8-12 and see if you don't agree. I have broken down David's instruction into bullet points, creating a to-do list of sorts for our daily walk with Christ.
- Give praise to the Lord
- Proclaim His name
- Sing to Him
- Sing praise to Him
- Tell of all His wonderful acts
- Glory in His holy name
- Let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice
- Look to the Lord and His strength
- Seek His face always
- Remember the wonders He has done
- Make known among the nations what He has done, His miracles, and the judgments He pronounced
So, what do you think? That sounds like a perfect way to begin our prayers. By telling God the wonderful things HE has done instead of the list of things that WE would like Him to do.
Lord, I Need You - Matt Mahre
