Sunday, July 30
Throughout the months of June and July, our daily devotions will be invitations to pray, perhaps in familiar ways and sometimes in new ways. This week, we will explore a practice of praying throughout the day, adding one additional time of day to our prayer practice each day. Seek to pray all six times today: Praising God When You Wake, Asking God to Be Present at the Beginning of Your Day’s Work, Turning Your Focus Outward During Lunchtime, Praying for Calm in the Mid-Afternoon, Pausing in the Late Afternoon, and Reflecting at Bedtime. If you wake in the middle of the night, Be Quiet in the Middle of the Night. “Be aware of and present with God. Know that you are not alone in your wakefulness.”1 You may find praying a portion of Psalm 63 comforting.
O God, you are my God; I seek you;
my soul thirsts for you;
my flesh faints for you,
as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary,
beholding your power and glory.
Because your steadfast love is better than life,
my lips will praise you.
So I will bless you as long as I live;
I will lift up my hands and call on your name.
Psalm 63:1-4
