Life in and of Yourself,
You are greater than can be thought—
far greater than this vessel wrought
with sin can fathom.
Lord, bridge this chasm
of exploration and belief;
still my soul and meet my grief
with Your immense splendor.
O Blessed Truth, help me remember
Your extent and Your immensity.
Rid me of propensity
to run from beauty and light.
Grant me grace and give me sight
beyond seeing. Consume my being
with Your ineffable goodness.
Amen.

How does God's Word impact our prayers?
God invites His children to talk with Him, yet our prayers often become repetitive and stale. How do we have a real conversation with God? How do we come to know Him so that we may pray for His will as our own?
In the Bible, God speaks to us as His children and gives us words for prayer—to praise Him, confess our sins, and request His help in our lives.
We’re giving away a free eBook copy of Praying the Bible, where Donald S. Whitney offers practical insight to help Christians talk to God with the words of Scripture.
