Ephesians 6:18

18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

I looked up the definition of supplication and found it means to ask humbly or earnestly, to beg or plead. When we pray earnestly and humbly, we are more prepared to receive answers to our prayers. A lot of times I find myself praying without really focusing or paying attention to what I'm saying. It's easy to get lax in our prayers and to go through the motions without having our hearts really in our words. When I am humble and earnest in my prayers, coming to the Lord with purpose and intent, I find that I am more receptive to the Spirit and can be touched to know what I should do.

When you pray today, really prepare and humble yourself before you start. Think about what prayer is--a conversation with your Father in Heaven. Earnestly seek Him and plead to Him for the answers and help that you need. He loves you and wants to help you.

Love,
Sister Jones
