[Jesus teaching] “’Pray, then, in this way: ‘Our Father
who is in heaven, hallowed be Your name.’” Matthew 6:9
“To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified and
set apart, made holy in Christ Jesus, who are selected and called as saints,
God’s people, together with all those who in every place call on and honour the
name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and outs. Grace to you and peace – inner calm and
spiritual well-being – from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.” I
Corinthians 1:2-3
“In order to be sure that God
will hear us, we must take His Word as the guide. Too many people are saying prayers without
the faintest idea of what God says on the subject, and then are surprised and
disappointed when they do not receive their answer. -- We are commanded to pray
to God in Heaven.[1]”
When I was first saved, one of the first tracts (you remember the little brochures that you could share with others) I ever was given was one called: ‘Prayer is Conversing with God’ (Since it is no longer printed, I’m going to reproduce it for you on the Especially His site and will let you know when its available).
It taught me that prayer is also
listening because when you have a conversation it is two-way. The Navigator ministry taught this as ‘Spiritual
Breathing’. You read Scriptures (breathe
in) and you pray (breathe out). However
you approach it, prayer keeps us close to our heavenly Father and there is no
safer, wiser place to be.
“Therefore let us with privilege approach the throne of
grace that is the throne of God’s gracious favour with confidence and without
fear, so that we may receive mercy for our failures and find His amazing grace
to help in time of need an appropriate blessing, coming just at the right
moment.” Hebrews4:16
Take care with love, especially His, Darlene (who still
prays for you each day)
