Today, prepare for prayer by remembering the gospel of Jesus, the one who by his cross and resurrection has given you life. Dwell on this question: What is the gospel to you?  

After doing that for a moment or two, allow your prayer to grow out of this reflection on the gospel.

We come boldly into prayer because of the gospel of Jesus! By it we are led to gratitude, wonder, and adoration, and we are met in prayer by the embrace of love. The one to whom we pray has rescued us and opened up a way of salvation, because of his great love!
