Going deeper...to go further

Daily Bible reading strengthens our relationship with God, nourishes our spirits and equips us to live a fruitful, effective life for Him.

This month we’re reading some passages about prayer alongside a chapter of Matthew's Gospel.. As we read the Word it’s important that we apply what we read and pray it out over our lives. One of the way you can do this is by using the acronym SOAP. To find out more about SOAP watch this video.

Below you’ll see what we’re reading today. To go forward or back a day in our reading plan use the 'Next' and 'Previous' buttons.

Prayer

  • Believers express their relationship with God in prayer. It is the means by which they can enjoy fellowship with Him.
  • God listens attentively to the prayers of His people and answers them.
  • From the gospels it is clear that Jesus was a man of prayer, expressing His dependence on the Father in prayer.
  • Jesus gave a series of wonderful promises of how God will answer prayer.
  • He made clear that it is essential to pray with faith, and taught His disciples how to pray with faith.
  • Our prayers are as sweet-smelling incense to God in heaven.
