As we are nearing the end of our focus on prayer, here are some good posts on prayer for your weekend reading:

First, John Piper suggests several things that are happening when we pray.

Second, Mark Altrogge reminds us that God is both rich and generous – so just ask!

Third, James Grier reminds us (via Chris Brauns) that knowing God as OUR Father implies that we will pray together.

Fourth, sometimes we can learn a lot from other people’s prayers.  So here is a good hymn/prayer by John Newton via Desiring God.  And then another good prayer by Mike at Hunger and Thirst.

Finally, some thoughts to ponder on teaching our children to pray – Part One and Part Two by Burk Parsons.  And a prayer for children by Amy Carmichael via Trevin Wax.

May God help us continue to grow in prayer. 

Have a great Lord’s Day with your local church!
