Here is another prayer I put together for my prayer beads. I thought I thought I would share it.
My heart in this one is to be a living sacrifice to God and then doing the things like prayer, Bible reading and serving that help us to live it out.
Praying using Scripture helps us both to pray and meditate on God’s Word. Two things that definitely help us to be living sacrifices.
