Prayer Focus - Increased Sincerity

 

 

Hebrews 10:22 “Let us go right into the presence of God with sincere hearts fully trusting him. For our guilty consciences have been sprinkled with Christ's blood to make us clean, and our bodies have been washed with pure water.” New Living Translation

 

Going into the presence of God, through prayer is a privilege that we should always take advantage of because our sins are atoned for by Christ’s sacrifice which makes it possible to go before Him.  For this reason, we should not fear approaching our Heavenly Father. We are encouraged to go into His presence with sincere hearts that love and trust Him.

 

Application:

In your own words define the following words and then summarize how we should approach God with a sincere heart.

 

• Truthful

• Serious

• Natural

• Authentic

 

Scripture Study:

Study and then write your interpretation of these Scriptures as it would apply to you and today’s prayer focus.

 

1st Corinthians 6:11 “And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.”

 

Hebrews 10:23 “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.”

 

Reflection: Page 11

God has all of the answers to our questions concerning life. Think about each of the ways we are encouraged to ask.

 

Prayer:

Pray to become more open and honest when you pray so that you hold nothing back from God who already knows your heart and what you are in need of. Declare your love for Him and how much you truly believe He loves you.
