prayer...

Matthew6:7-13

The world is full of so-called prayer warriors who are prayer-ignorant. They're full of formulas and programs and advice, peddling techniques for getting what you want from God. Don't fall for that nonsense. This is your Father you are dealing with, and he knows better than you what you need. With a God like this loving you, you can pray very simply. Like this:

Our Father in heaven,
Reveal who you are.
Set the world right;
Do what's best— as above, so below.
Keep us alive with three square meals.
Keep us forgiven with you and forgiving others.
Keep us safe from ourselves and the Devil.
You're in charge!
You can do anything you want!
You're ablaze in beauty!
Yes. Yes. Yes.

  2. You know the one thing I am actually learning and finally taking to heart is that "Seeking God first" is so vitally important. Then everything else that we "need" will be given to us. I am learning not to seek the thing I need. Because God knows what I need before I even do. But, to seek God First! Amen!
