Prayer-How to pray by JESUS

Good morning everyone!!!! I hope you have a wonderful day in the Lord Jesus Christ!! Yesterday was a great day to be alive in Jesus. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.

Our pastor, Bro Lou talked about prayer. Last week he gave us four beginning guidelines: 1. find a secret place; 2. have a BIBLE; 3; pray for HIS will to be done; & 4. let HIM decide.

Now in Luke 11 a disciple asked Jesus to teach them to pray, Just as John had his disciples. Read chapter 11 or open you Bible and look at it. Vs 2 “Jesus said, “this is how your should pray. Father, may your name be kept holy” Jesus praised God first before he made his requests. Praising God first puts us in the correct mindstate to tell our HEAVENLY FATHER about our needs.

Vs 3 “Give us each day the food we need,” God’s provision is daily, not all at once. We cannot store it up, fill our storehouse, then not communicate with God until the storehouse runs low. We are not self satisfying, we cannot fulfill our needs—God can.

Vs 4 “and forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us. And don’t let us yield to temptation.” When Jesus taught His disciples to pray, He made forgiveness the cornerstone of their relationship with God. God has forgiven our sins, we must now forgive those who have wronged us. To remain unforgiving shows we do not understand that we ourselves need to be forgiven.

Okay, so what is being said? First, praise your heavenly Father; second- go to God daily – we need to be filled each day; and third – forgive others- do not let unforgiveness sit in your body to fester; and fourth ask for strength so that we do not fall to temptation or the worldly ways.

Thank you for reading today. Lately I have been having trouble getting to my internet provider so I will post when I can. Love you all.

In Christ’s Love and Grace
