Daily Prayer
March 15, 2026
Prayer: Our God in heaven, we are thankful to you for your many mercies and your work of salvation given to us according to your grace and wisdom. We thank you for not treating us as we deserve, because we know that if you were to mark iniquities, who could stand? We praise your name for the hope the Lord’ sDay brings to your redeemed people.

The Westminster Confession of Faith 21.6
VI. Neither prayer, nor any other part of religious worship, is now, under the gospel, either tied unto, or made more acceptable by any place in which it is performed, or towards which it is directed:a but God is to be worshipped everywhereb in spirit and truth;c as in private familiesd daily,e and in secret each one by himself,f so more solemnly in the public assemblies, which are not carelessly or willfully to be neglected or forsaken, when God, by his Word or providence, calleth thereunto.g

Second, the Lord teaches his disciples to pray. Again, the emphasis on prayer in the life of Christ is significant. It should be for us as well. If Jesus prayed, how much more should we pray? Third, and closely related, is the subject of fasting. Fasting does not receive much attention in the church today.
