Prayer & Fasting: Day 1 – FIX YOUR EYES ON THE KING OPEN IN PRAYER Pause with Jesus before jumping into today’s Scripture. Ask God to help you become aware of his Presence. As you come to today’s passage, ask the Holy Spirit to lead you to a deeper sense of God’s power, majesty and sovereignty. PASSAGE FOR PRAYER AND REFLECTION 1. Read Psalm 89:1-18: a. Read through the passage TWICE slowly with a prayerful awareness of God. Allow each truth to help you see more of God’s majesty and power. As you read through slowly, allow each truth to not only inform your understanding of God, but allow these truths time to settle into your heart. b. Now go through these verses for a third time. But this time, prayerfully reflect each truth back to God. For example, as you read: “The heavens praise your wonders, Lord”, turn that in prayer towards God saying, “Lord, I think of the sun and how it’s such a source of light and life to us; I think of the stars and how vast our universe is, wow! Their majesty only points towards you Lord” (etc). c. After you’ve been through these verses, pause in the Presence of the King before you go to your day. Choose to go into your day with this profound awareness of the majesty and power of God our King!
