I found this on Twitter reposted by Beth Moore. The original author is someone’s named Chad Bird. That’s all I know about that.

But the prayer echoes an earlier prayer I posted called the 3-Open Prayer which goes along these lines: Lord, open the door. Lord, open his/her heart. Lord, open my mouth.

To ask God to open anything is to allow Him to enable us to do what we could not have done on our own. It’s to pray for God’s strength to follow God’s will in God’s time.

All 7 of these are good prayers to use, if you are inclined to liturgical prayer along with the spontaneous. I prefer both, depending on the mood and circumstances.

All these are basically saying to God, “Don’t let me be closed off to You or what You’re doing in me and around me. Let me always be open to Your voice so that I may always know the blessing that comes from obedience and surrender. Amen.
