Today’s Thought “Bullying on Prayer Day” G. Ward
Matthew 6
10 Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
While prayer is encouraged, the words conveyed must embody Heaven’s mandate given by our Lord. The model prayer for every disciple begins with identifying the Almighty in greatest superiority, contemplating my convening with the Maker of Heaven and earth and whereas familiarity breeds contempt, I must consider my approach, for HE is the only One who gives life. Thereafter, our Savior unfolds the greater actuality unto man; we must forbid a desire to have what we say is best for others and ourselves. We’re limited in every scope of life. Therefore, our hearts trust in His objectives, so, we propose He have mastery over every sector of the world and those He made (our best is not His – Isa.55:8-9). How can we inform the All-Wise Savior of earthly realities (Matt.6:8)? Moreover, how can we instruct Him how to move in the lives of others, particularly when He’s loving the world and some propose merely having clean drinking water and morsels of food (*Phil.2:2-4) while we’re often famished because we’ve missed lunch? Do we trust that HE already knows all and will He require our prayers to minimize sufferings? Did He care about our predecessors – who were victims of sickness, poverty and institutions involving great disparities? HE’S great and yet greatly to be praised! It’s our National Day of Prayer, how might these actualities govern our prayers?
