Let's pray The Lord's Prayer

祈 祷
Our Father, which 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; forgive us our debt, as we forgive our debtors;
lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory forever,
Amen.

This is how Jesus taught us to pray.
But we do not just memorise this passage and just recite it plainly in prayer
and go, "Hey, today I prayed already/I did my part!"
与 万 王 之 王 沟 通
Each time we pray in Jesus' name, our prayer is heard by the Almighty King of kings from above Heaven. Though our mind maybe unfruitful while we pray, (or we don't concentrate) the Holy Spirit still intercedes for us through Tongues. But is that all we should do in our daily conversation with God?

I'd like to share what I heard from a sermon about the Lord's Prayer.
The Lord's Prayer is actually an indication to believers of what to pray,
and how to pray. Begin with "in Jesus' Name I pray, Hallelujah" (ofcourse)
then,...

"...Hallowed be Thy Name"
Praise the LorItalicd, with a pair of holy lips that are worthy to even say the praise.
Hence, we should first repent for the sins we made.
(John 9:31We know that God does not listen to sinners. He listens to the godly man who does his will.)
天 国
"May Thy Kingdom come ... as it is in Heaven"
Pray for matters concerning Heaven, matters concerning
those who belong there and those who don't.
We have many lost sheep and doubtful friends and relatives to pray for.
(Mat6:33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.)
自 我
"Give us this day... deliver us from evil"
Pray for oneself, for your own weaknesses and debts,
make your personal wishes known to God.
( 1Peter 5:7Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you)
This is a short and simple msg I'd like to share
in hope that you will be edified and improve our conversations with God together.
Let's pray together for one another always.

  2. yes it is.
    But it is unfortunate that few of us have done this homework well.
    often, we are just so lazy to even say a sentence to God, and some even say that, oh God already knows everything of me, there is nothing to say anymore lar. This is just an excuse given out of the flesh.

    I always encourage myself by saying, hey not everyone gets a chance to talk to the King, and while this immense grace is open to all of us in Jesus' name, we take it for granted, even though we are actually communicating with the King of kings(not just any ordinary king).

    Come on, cherish this, cherish the moments you get to pray to God, and do not take it for granted, because we never even deserved that.

    Get to your place and start talking to God, He is waiting to hear from you to talk to Him.
