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, Yeild. Each day we'll be changing up what we're praising God for. That's the

P in 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 into some ways to our repent, a, ask, and why, 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 we 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

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 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 conversations with God after I say amen. So, without further
