Hey Bible readers. In addition to our regular 8-minute daily podcast of the Bible Recap,

we also have a second daily podcast that follows our daily Bible reading. In the Bible recap,

we'll be recapping what we just read in scripture, and this podcast will be our prayer

of response to God about what we just read. Since it's a podcast devoted to prayer, we're calling

it the Bible kneecap, like kneeling in

prayer. Each day's episode will post immediately after the Bible recap, so you can listen to them

back to back. So our suggested order will be read, recap, respond. Lots of listeners tell us the Bible

kneecap prayers help them build out their understanding

of what we've just read even more. In this podcast, we use a prayer method called pray. It's an

acronym that stands for praise, repent, ask, yield. Each day we'll be changing up what we're

praising God for. That's the P and the pray acronym. Our praise will usually connect to the

God shot from that day's episode since that's where we saw God's character or attributes on display.

After that, we'll point you to some ways to R, repent, A, ask, and Y yield. But those will obviously

look different for each person from day to day depending on what's happening in your heart and your

life. Before you begin, one thing I want to point out is that following along with pre-written

prayer is not meaningless or vain. Even Jesus himself gave us a prescribed prayer to pray when he gave

his disciples the Lord's prayer. Old Testament Jews and the believers of the early church glorified God

and took comfort in praying the prayers of the early church glorified God and took comfort in praying

the prayers of the Psalms written by David and many others. Those prayers not only help us connect with

God, but they help teach us his character as well. As you listen to my prayer each day, echo it back

to God in your own heart and feel free to expound on it in your own words.

We want this to serve not only as a teaching tool, but as a catalyst for your own extended
