Today begins a four part series of prayers. This Monday we will focus on praying for ourselves. Next week we will focus on praying for our families. After that, we will pray for our communities and finally our world. Each day has a short prayer that you can pray for yourself along with the Biblical reference. This is a list to get you started. Please add other petitions that you ask of God for yourself in the comments below so we can add to our list. Blessings to you as draw closer to God in prayer.
