Daily Prayer
If You Love God, Talk To Him And Listen To Him
All who call on God in true faith, earnestly from the heart, will certainly be heard, and will receive what they have asked and desired, although not in the hour or in the measure, or the very thing which they ask; yet they will obtain something greater and more glorious than they had dared to ask.
Martin Luther
It is clear that he does not pray, who, far from uplifting himself to God, requires that God shall lower Himself to him, and who resorts to prayer not to stir the man in us to will what God wills, but only to persuade God to will what the man in us wills.
Thomas Aquinas (1225 - 1274)
Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 5:15-19 - New American Standard Bible
Come Holy Spirit; Speak to my heart.
Dwell richly within me as this new day starts;
Help me to see through the eyes of my Lord,
So I can withstand all the sin in this world.
Teach me compassion for my fellow man,
And if I should stumble, help me to stand;
Help me to love when it’s so easy to hate,
When fear overcomes me, strengthen my faith.
When I lack understanding, speak wisdom to me,
If pride should creep in, throw me down on my knees;
When I need some direction, please point out the way,
And take full control of all that I say.
Come, Holy Spirit; Live Christ life through me,
Help me to honor His name faithfully;
I’ve made my choice; I have counted the cost,
Come guide me again, as I take up my cross.

Daily Wisdom
Often prayer takes on a life of its own seeking to direct the outcome rather than seeking the Creators plan. It is little wonder we complain that our prayers were not answered when in fact it was we who did not rightly seek His perfect will. The next time we pray let us do so with a heart committed to seeking the will of the Master, rather than telling Him how to do His job and defining the acceptable ways He can fulfill his promises to us.
Jim Haynes - 2008
Jesus Said; "Pray, then, in this way: 'Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name. 'Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. 'Give us this day our daily bread. 'And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 'And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil. [For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.'
Matthew 6:9-13
This prayer begins where all true prayer must commence, with the spirit of adoption, "Our Father.” There is no acceptable prayer until we can say, "I will arise, and go unto my Father.” This child-like spirit soon perceives the grandeur of the Father "in heaven”, and ascends to devout adoration, "Hallowed be Thy name.” The child lisping, "Abba, Father”, grows into the cherub crying”, Holy, Holy, Holy”. There is but a step from rapturous worship to the glowing missionary spirit, which is a sure outgrowth of filial love and reverent adoration--"Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” Next follows the heartfelt expression of dependence upon God--"Give us this day our daily bread.” Being further illuminated by the Spirit, he discovers that he is not only dependent, but sinful, hence he entreats for mercy, "Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors:" and being pardoned, having the righteousness of Christ imputed, and knowing his acceptance with God, he humbly supplicates for holy perseverance, "Lead us not into temptation.” The man, who is really forgiven, is anxious not to offend again; the possession of justification leads to an anxious desire for sanctification. "Forgive us our debts”, that is justification; "Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil," that is sanctification in its negative and positive forms. As the result of all this, there follows a triumphant ascription of praise, "Thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, for ever and ever, Amen.” We rejoice that our King reigns in providence and shall reign in grace, from the river even to the ends of the earth, and of His dominion there shall be no end. Thus from a sense of adoption, up to fellowship with our reigning Lord, this short model of prayer conducts the soul. Lord, teach us thus to pray.
