RESPONSIBLE TO GOD 24

YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE TO PRAY

 

Mt 6:9-13 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. (10) Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. (11) Give us this day our daily bread. (12) And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. (13) And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

 

Many people feel that the proper way to pray is to repeat this prayer and that is all that is necessary. If you read correctly you will see that this is a model prayer, and example. We are to use this as an example not just recite it word for word.

 

We are to address God in a reverent manner, praising Him because He is Holy. We are to pray for His will to be done in our lives here on Earth. We are to pray for His provision on a daily basis and to trust Him for it. Many of us are not satisfied with our daily bread but we want a full pantry and freezer too.

 

We all need forgiveness but we also need to forgive others. I am amazed at how some people hold grudges and then ask for forgiveness for their own wrongdoings. God is aware of the temptations of the world and we need to ask His help in avoiding them.

 

Evil is everywhere and we certainly should ask for deliverance from it. We need to recognize that it is God's Kingdom and the glory belongs to Him.

Amen
