Ready for a Prayer Renaissance?

As the PrayMore team and I have transitioned to full-time work on our prayer app this year, I have discovered just how rich we are in tools and resources to help us pray. Here are three that really blessed me this week, to show you what I mean.

There’s a prayer by Puritan Thomas Lye in Tim Chester’s Into His Presence: Praying with the Puritans. His series of “Forgive us when we trust in” statements reach almost four hundred years forward to guide my heart to deeper repentance. His closing sentence reads, “But on this the arm of trust may safely lean: your almighty arm and power; and your infinite goodness, mercy, and bounty.” Wow. Can I get an amen?

But prayer doesn’t have to be so eloquent to have power. One Sentence Prayers is free to download from Lead with Prayer, and reminds us that, “A single sentence can reorient our mind, will, and emotions, pointing them back to Jesus.” Here’s one example that can change our day, right now. “You are holy, Lord, the only God, and your deeds are wonderful.”

Then, reaching right into the current AI revolution, I heard the Lord’s prayer today, from Matthew 6:9-13, put to music by The Living Word Collective using AI. And my savior’s prayer from two thousand years ago blessed me in a fresh way.

Renaissance means rebirth, revival, resurgence, revitalization, and renewal. This world needs a prayer renaissance. I’m so happy that we can add the PrayMore app to this list of resources trying to help. But we need the Lord to work if we are to have a prayer renaissance. So please pray with me this week that distraction, apathy, and pride will not keep people from coming to the Lord in prayer.
