We know what we ought to pray and what we should do to draw close to God. In reality we do not and we fall short of our own goals. God meets us where we are, when we are ready to meet him and answers us when we seek Him in ways we least expect.
We should start each day with a simple prayer
to ask God to guide our day
to tell God of our love for Him
to ask God for forgiveness for times during the day when we forgot to walk with Him
to tell God of our needs or the needs of others
to thank God at the end of the day for all the blessings we had received
Luke 11:9-11
So I say to you, "Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and everyone who seeks finds, and for everyone who knocks, the door will be opened."
