In Robert Foster’s booklet “7 Minutes With God” he gives 3 basic steps for prayer time. Below I have added some practical application in italics. This outline has brought me a truly powerful prayer experience:
1. Begin with a brief prayer for guidance . . . a simple: "Here I am - what do you have in mind for
me today?"
2. Read the Bible passage . . . Re-write the scripture passage in your own words listing:
- God’s traits you have discovered
- How these traits play out in your life
- Recognizing these traits in others
3. Finish with a short time of prayer that includes adoration, confession, thanksgiving, requests for
yourself and others. Close by praying your re-written scripture followed by listening for His
answers.
REMEMBER: An important part of praying is a willingness to be part of the answer. (ODB)
