Friday night was our ladies meeting at our church. Our wonderful Pastor's wife Julie did an excellent job on teaching the ladies of our church to pray. I have always been blessed by the opportunity to be able to pray and I love to talk so it would make sense that talking to the Lord would come naturally to me. However praying the Biblical way is a whole different story. I was so blessed by the information Miss Jule presented I thought you might enjoy the information :
The Bible tells us to Pray in this order based on Matthew 6
1. Praise God for who he is.
2. Remind God of His will for others
3. Ask God to meet your daily needs
4. Yield Yourself to confess your sin
5. Express your willingness to forgive the offences of others
6. Remember that you need God's daily guidance and protection.
This has been such a help to me in my personal devotions I just had to share it with you.
Also, I have taught my son to pray this way. I came home Friday night and wrote it all out in third grade terms and my son said to me this morning. " Mom I feel like God is really hearing me and I feel closer to God" I realize that serving God is not about how you feel. But it touched my heart to know that Quin saw a difference in his prayer life. Thank you Miss Julie to care enough to teach us to pray and love us enough to take the time to make a difference in our spiritual lives. Paige is so cute. When she gets in trouble now days her famous line is "Sorry Jesus". I'm thankful that when she gets a little older I can teach her to pray Biblicaly as well.
