Preparing Our Hearts to Seek God: Insights from a Puritan Prayer

Centuries ago, when a Puritan named Robert Parker wrote this heartfelt prayer about approaching God, he gave us a glimpse into an amazing truth: God eagerly awaits our prayers. Yes, Parker acknowledges our need for God's help in prayer, but here's the wonderful news – God already knows this, and He loves providing that help! As Romans 8:26 reminds us, "The Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us."
