A Prayer to Serve the Lord with Gladness - Your Daily Prayer - September 19

Our culture often teaches us to serve ourselves first, but God calls us to something higher. Learn how Psalm 100:2 can reshape your outlook and fill your daily service to Him with joy and thanksgiving.

What Is Prayer?

Prayer isn’t a ritual that depends on closing our eyes and putting on holy faces. We don’t have to kneel or sit. We can pray while walking, driving, or working. God responds to a two word cry for help in the middle of a busy afternoon, just like He does to a focused prayer time after reading Scripture in the morning. Praying doesn’t have to be complicated. God delights in any simple words we offer Him.
