Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to Matthew 6:9

Life with Jesus involves an awakening of our passions and a focus of our time, attention, and resources. We can tend to be apathetic about brokenness in the world when we are unexposed or engaged in other activities. Rather Jesus calls us to engage, to respond, and to allow our hearts to be broken as we pursue a path toward biblical engagement and advocacy.

This Presence plan is a collection of days designed to create space: a restful, mindful experience leading us in reflection & prayer. Music, film, and poetry inspired by the Lord’s Prayer weave a journey that allows us time out, a sense of peace, and an opportunity to experience God’s presence.

As you read each devotion, you may think of some of the paradoxes of God. They may start out as questions, but you’ll discover they can also become deeper attributes of the character of our God and can add a greater dimension to your relationship with Him.

God is the great creator and yearns for a healthy relationship with us. As Laura says, this plan: God ‘doesn’t need us to get the words right for the exchange to be worthwhile.’ It’s a relationship – just you and God in a free and loving exchange.

A FIRE THAT KEEPS ON BURNING That is the way God chose to reveal Himself to Moses. God loves to involve people in what He is doing. He reached out to Moses who, like me and you, blew a previous opportunity. God fills people with His Spirit, who works in them a hunger, which is best expressed through prayer; the Infinite One touching and empowering the finite ones.

Prayer and fasting involve voluntarily refraining from food to focus on prayer and deepen one's connection with God. While they can occur separately, their combination enhances effectiveness. Setting aside time for prayer and fasting is not about manipulating God for personal desires; it’s a deliberate choice to center oneself and depend on Him for strength, provision, and wisdom in the humility of heart. Together, they cultivate spiritual growth and deepen faith.

Jesus calls us to live in a way that is different than the world teaches. What did Jesus teach us when he gave up everything on the Cross and what does it mean to follow him? In this 6-day devotional, we will unpack the beautiful life God has for us and how we can yes to embracing what he has for us.
