In this week's article, God-Centered Prayer, Dr. Derek Thomas challenges us to take a thoughtful evaluation of our prayer life. Do our prayers reflect self-centeredness or are they inquiries into the nature and desires of our God? Do we have an eagerness to know what pleases and displeases Him? Do we consider the model of the psalmist by practicing adoration and praise, fulfilling our chief end, before we utter our confession, thanksgiving, or supplication? May your heart be encouraged by the practical suggestions that Dr. Thomas shares to help us pursue the Lord until we find Him, seek Him while He may be found, and call upon Him while He is near.
