This summer, we’ve challenged the church to take a significant spiritual step this summer to Be Prepared for Christ’s return. Prayer is essential for our preparation. So each month this summer, we’ll work through a biblical prayer from the Psalms that can serve as a guide and model for us. As the Lord prepares our hearts, our minds, and our hands—we’ll be ready to pursue His mission and bear great fruit for His kingdom.
In this episode, Dr. Ben Lovvorn shows how Psalm 86 can be a model prayer for us, laying out how we can ask God to prepare our hearts to pursue His purpose. Then Ben, Nate, and Andrew discuss practically how God’s Word can help our prayer life, how we can pray authentic prayers, and what it means to have a “united” heart. We hope it’s helpful for you as you pursue the Lord this summer!
If you haven’t worked through our Be Prepared discipleship booklet yet, you can access it or share it with others by going to firstdallas.org/prepare.
We would love for you to partner with us to support the mission of First Baptist Dallas, which includes creating biblical resources like Be Prepared, by giving online here: firstdallas.org/fbdgive.
Dr. Ben Lovvorn serves as our Senior Executive Pastor. Nate Curtis is our Associate Executive Pastor. Andrew Bobo is our Associate Executive Pastor, Practical Theology.
