My Quiet Time
MY VERY 1st POST! Will post on what I have learned from the quiet time I spend just now. (Luke 11:1-4)
One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”
He said to them, “When you pray, say:
“Father,
Hallowed be your name, Your kingdom come.
Give us each day our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us And lead us not into temptation."Notice the order in the prayer? 1stly, Jesus praise God, then He made His request and needs. I believe Jesus did that by praising God 1st is to put God in the right frame of mind to tell God about our needs. Often when we pray, we just usually straight away pray and get on our needs, more like a shopping list than conversations with God. So brothers/Sisters,
DO REMEMBER to praise God 1st!
"
Give us each day our daily bread" I believe this statement or prayer is said means God's provision is daily, not all at once. We cannot store it up for once and then cut off communication with God. If you are running low on strength, ask yourself this, "How long have I been away frm the God?" If we daily claim from God our bread, there will be no reasons why we will be tired and weary!
Lastly, Jesus taught his disciples to pray, He made forgiveness the cornerstone of their relationship with God. God has forgiven our sins, we must now too forgive those who have done wrong to us.
To remain unforgiving shows we have not understood that we ourselves are deeply need to be forgiven too! Family, think of some people who have wronged you. Have you forgiven them? How will God deal with you if he treats you as you treat others?
I pray that as you read this, renew ur prayer and always recall "
