Day 5
invites us into willing, adoring, restful communion with him. Why wouldn’t you accept that invitation?
Reflection Questions
1. Does your typical pattern of prayer reflect the reality that “the heart of prayer is worshipful submission” to God? How might your prayers change if you really embraced this definition of prayer? 2. How well do your prayers balance the four categories of prayer: adoration, confession, submission, and supplication? Which area do you tend to shortchange, and what are some practical things you can do to grow in that area? 3. True spiritual warfare-type prayers require study and medita- tion. What can you do in this Lenten season to give yourself more fully to these tasks?
Pray slowly through the Lord’s Prayer in Matthew 6:9–13, focusing on adoration, confession, submission, and supplication.
