SUNDAY SCRIPTURE, August 28, 2011

Mount of the Beatitudes, Sea Of Galilee Israel 

The world is full of so-called prayer warriors who are prayer-ignorant. 
They are full of formulas and programs and advice, peddling techniques for getting what you want from God. Don't fall for that nonsense. This is your Father you are dealing with, and he know better than you what you need. With a God like this loving you, you can pray very simply. Like this:

Our Father in heaven,
Reveal who you are.
Set the world right,
Do what's best~
as above, as below.
Keep us alive with three square meals.
Keep us forgiven with you and forgiving others.
Keep us safe from ourselves and the Devil.
You are in charge!
You can do anything you want!
Your're ablaze with beauty.
Yes, Yes, Yes!
Matthew: 6: 7-13. The Message

  2. Thank you for reminding us! Reminds me that really walking/talking with God was/is never that hard really.

  3. I need this reminder. Often Rob and I read great books by great Christian authors and then tell ourselves that it is not God's Word. His Word is fresh and true with no formula needed! I need to remember this with my prayers, too! I posted my Sunday post after your visit! My youngest has strep throat, so we are home today. You know you are speaking right to my heart about 'no electronics!' What imaginations exist in those brains when nothing is blinking at them! Blessings on this Sunday and all week! Christie
