Today’s Verse:
"You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name." - John 15:16

Prayer for Today :

Heavenly Father,

Teach us how to pray! We want to learn how to pray to You, how to be effective, how to get Your attention and how to get responses from You - FAST!

Maybe we should pray to You using the technique used in the kindergardens. Father, they teach these kids how to pray to You in this form of ‘arrow’ prayers. It is simply a quick prayer to You, like an arrow shooting up to heaven!

Is this not a good way of praying? Nowadays, we are always in the middle of busy situations and hence, we are finding these long wordy prayers somewhat difficult. Of course if only God will listen to these "short bursts" of prayers, then "arrow prayers" is actually a good way to pray to God Almighty.

Father, remind us that You're only a prayer away from us and if we never fire these "arrows" out, how can we ever receive any answers?

Help us to put these arrows into practice, Father.
"Father! I'm feeling depressed!"
"Father! I'm loosing air and I'm feeling meaningless."
"Father, make haste to help me !"

In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
