Bible Wednesday 10/5: Teach Us to Pray

Studying this morning's four readings from the St. James Daily Devotional Guide (click to subscribe), I examined myself with these questions. Where is your self-examination leading today?

Psalms 89:1-52. Verse 33 KJV, when have I tried God’s patience beyond all limits, and still he said “Nevertheless,” treating me lovingly?

Job 36:1-33. Verse 22, how God teaches. What shall I ask him to teach me today?

Ezra 3:1-13. Verse 12, Israel’s ancient men weep as the temple rebuilding goes ahead. When have God’s goodness and love brought me to tears?

Luke 11:1-4. How can I go deeper today than ever before with Jesus’ pattern of prayer, the Lord’s Prayer?
