The Daily Dose #0138

Faithful prayer isn’t just about speaking to God—it’s about aligning your life with Him. When you approach God in prayer, He works in your heart, shaping your desires to reflect His will. Proper prayer leads to a life of obedience, faithfulness, and steadfast devotion, drawing you closer to the One who answers.

Today, examine your prayer life. Are your prayers shaping your actions and aligning your heart with God’s purposes? Commit to seek Him not only with your words but with how you live. Let your life reflect the faith and trust you express in prayer.

"Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving."
— Colossians 4:2
