“How Should I Pray?”

By joe Schlosser
Tuesday, December 7th, 2010

Matthew 6:10

“Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”

There are many times we may know WHY we should pray, or for WHAT to pray, but then we are left with, “But HOW should I pray?”

I would like to offer to you one Bible verse I often use that I have found help when I struggle with the “HOW”.

“Your kingdom come”: I might pray something like, “Lord, I know that You desire to be King over every place and every one. When You are King, we can enjoy the blessings of both Your rule and Your active Presence. Please establish Your Presence and Kingship for ______________.”

“Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven”: I might pray something like, “Lord, I believe that Your Will for us on earth is meant to be wonderful, just like Your Will is wonderful and awesome in heaven. Please show me know some of the loving and wonderful things You wish to do now for ____________.”

I hope this might encourage you to feel more in confident in “HOW” you pray.

Sincerely Yours in Christ,
Pastor Denny

What some are saying …

Hi Denny:

I very much appreciated your column in the recent CPC newsletter; it gave me a new perspective on prayer. It made me realize that whenever we pray sincerely, Jesus is there with us, joining us in our prayer to God. In fact, maybe the reason the Lord’s prayer begins with “Our Father…” is that whenever we pray it, we are not praying alone, but rather that Jesus is there with us joining us in that prayer to God – so it’s only appropriate that, when we begin that prayer, we (Jesus and me) say “Our” - since there are two together praying to God.

Also, when we conclude our prayers by asking that God hear our prayer “In Jesus’ name…”, Jesus is there with us before God to verify that He agrees with our request and it is His too.

Thanks, Denny…

John
