(upbeat music) - Hey Bible readers. In addition to our regular eight minute daily podcast of the Bible Recap, we also have a second daily podcast that follows our daily Bible reading. In the Bible Recap, we'll be recapping what we just read in scripture, and this podcast will be our prayer of response to God about what we just read. Since it's a podcast devoted to prayer, we're calling it the Bible kneecap, like kneeling in prayer. Each day's episode will post immediately after the Bible Recap, so you can listen to them back-to-back. So our suggested order will be read, recap, respond. Lots of listeners tell us the Bible kneecap prayers help them build out their understanding of what we've just read even more. In this podcast, we use a prayer method called pray. It's an acronym that stands for praise, repent, ask, yield. Each day we'll be changing up what we're praising God for. That's the P in the pray acronym. Our praise will usually connect to the God shop from that day's episode, since that's where we saw God's character or attributes on display. After that, we'll point into some ways to our repent, a, ask, and why yield, but those will obviously look different for each person from day to day, depending on what's happening in your heart and your life. Before we begin, one thing I want to point out is that following along with pre-written prayer is not meaningless or vain. Even Jesus himself gave us a prescribed prayer to pray when he gave his disciples the Lord's prayer. Old Testament Jews and the believers of the early church glorified God and took comfort in praying the prayers of the Psalms written by David and many others. Those prayers not only help us connect with God, but they help teach us his character as well. As you listen to my prayer each day, echo it back to God in your own heart and feel free to expound on it in your own words. We want this to serve not only as a teaching tool, but as a catalyst for your own extended conversations with God after I say amen. So without further ado, here's today's episode of our daily prayer podcast, the Bible kneecap, which corresponds to today's reading from the Bible recap. Father, we praise you for your great plan to redeem us. From before the world was formed, you plan to send your son to rescue the people you hadn't yet created. And in that plan, you use so many unlikely people as a part of the process and the prophecies. From a poor virgin girl to an unborn baby to an elderly woman, Jesus, we praise you for coming to restore the earth you created. What a far cry from heaven. You descended to us to take on human flesh and bridge the gap between us and the Father. Thank you for that. Your birth is the yes that surpasses all our prayers and the peace that surpasses all our fears. Spirit, we praise you for the divine revelation you gave to John the Baptist, even in the womb, for the way you revealed spiritual truths to him throughout his life. And for verifying the identity of Jesus as he began his ministry, you guide us into all truth. Have mercy on me, God, I'm a sinner. We repent of our sins and turn to you and we ask you to make our hearts clean. Today would you remind us that we already have all we need in you? You surpass all our wants and desires. We are loved by the God of the universe who adopted us into his family, who cares for us with such attention and detail. You never forget us. So by the power of your spirit in us, help us to remember you today. We surrender our lives to you, Lord. Every moment of our day, each decision we make, we yield our will and way to your perfect will and way. We love you too. Amen.
