Everybody seems to have answers . . .we analyze . . .we explain more than we know . . . but the fact is only One Person sees the whole picture, and He has given us a prayer which we know so well we sometimes pray it and don't hear what we are praying . . . or worse, we sing our ditties and pray our extemporaneous prayers and never come to grips with what Jesus told us:
PRAY THIS WAY!!!
OUR FATHER WHICH ART IN HEAVEN . . .
HALLOWED BE THY NAME!
THY KINGDOM COME !
THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN !
We need to pray this together ... in our churches . . . pray it in our homes . . . pray it from our hearts!
Then...it is all right to ask:
GIVE US TODAY WHAT WE NEED TO BE ALL YOU WANT US TO BE !
FORGIVE US OUR SINS AS WE FORGIVE THOSE WHO SIN AGAINST US !
LEAD US!
dELIVER US FROM EVIL!
What if we all did what Jesus said we shoudl do?
I hear the call to prayer from different, even surprising directions these days . . . before we rush off to save the world in our own puny strength . . . before our civilization slips into hell . . . can we join together and pray the prayer we know by heart until from our hearts we truly pray that prayer?
