We Draw Near To You | Guided Prayers

Let's start our time together reflecting on God's desire for relationship with us.

The creator of the universe, all-knowing, love personified, and yet his greatest desire is to know you, to talk to you just as you are.

Prayer is not about perfect words, it's about proximity.

God invites you close, just as you are, without pretense or performance.

When you draw near, he responds with his presence.

James 4.8 says, Come near to God and He will come near to you.

Take a moment and thank God that He hears our prayers and desires to have a relationship with us.

As you thank Him, let your own heart be encouraged by this reminder to yourself.

Take the extra few seconds to be intentional with your words and invite him in to specific needs or doubts.

Ask him to remove distractions and help you grow closer to him.

Don't rush through silence.

Take another deep breath and let your mind be quiet, listening for his voice and prompting.

Repeat after me.

Father, thank you for drawing near to us as we draw near to you.

Amen.
