A Prayer to Cultivate Our Hearts for Spiritual Growth - Your Daily Prayer - May 16

Spiritual growth and a deeper connection with God come through intentionally seeking Him, reading His Word, relying on the Holy Spirit, and praying—practices that invite His presence and transform our hearts.

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.
