When you look across the horizon of your life, what do you see? Don't look at your past, instead imagine your future. Can you see a future where your children and their children are healthy, wise, strong, and well-cared for? Do you see a legacy, your life's work, impacting a community you serve? In that future, are you ok? Do you have healthy relationships, safety, well-being, success, or financial security?
What we see when we look into the future matters to us and Jesus. What we hope for should be communicated to God, regularly, that he may guide us to our destination. I call these Horizon Prayers, as they are prayers that have the sole purpose of helping us to become all that God has created us to be.
There is a remarkable difference between a lifestyle of daily prayer (to pray without ceasing) and intentional horizon prayers (prayers tied to your purpose, destiny, and legacy). Horizon prayers require research, soul searching, and intimacy with God. My hope is to convey the critical components of those prayers as God reveals them to me, in order of importance.
