When We Pray… By Kathy Thompson
In the Gospel of Saint Luke the 11 chapter, Jesus
answered the question of his disciple’s; “How should we pray? “ Jesus starts the answer with the famous
Lord’s Prayer “Our Father, in heaven, holy is your name. Your kingdom come and
your will be done on earth as it is always done in heaven. We pray, Father, for
food for this day. We ask for forgiveness for all sins and we ask for the grace
to forgive all that is in debited to us. “
He goes on to talk about the importune neighbor, as he is
called in some translations. |

"But seek first the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you" Matt. 6:33
"Jesus wept, Amen!" With no real reverence, hunger, or expectation, but rather a "There God, I prayed" kind of prayer. Many of us would never pray this kind of prayer intentionally. And yet, in the business of the day and the demands of life (High stress jobs, family demands, social functions, school, Church offices and events, household projects, relationships and the list goes on) We can easily find ourselves drifting into a state of praying out of obligation rather than admiration. |

Deu 30:19 "I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, [that] I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live;"
Our lives are a culmination of the choices we've made. When faced with a challenge, we can choose to speak life into them or to speak words of defeat (death). God empowered us with the ability that no other creature on earth has and that is the power of Choice! |

Rom 12:2 "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."
Today, we are a product of yesterdays thoughts. What we become tomorrow, is determined by how we think today. Imagine that you have the power to change your current situation by how you "think".
Look around you! Everything you see began with a thought: That chair, the picture, the table and yes, even the tree and the birds all began with a thought. |

Pro 18:21 Death and life [are] in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
Our words carry POWER! With every word we speak., we have the potential to manifest fruit of Life or of Death. Each originate from a place of faith or fear and our words have the power to produce the fruit of either.
Because we were created in our Daddy God's Image, he incorporated the God Gene of "Power" by the spoken word:
Gen 1:3 "And God said |

3Jo 1:2 "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth."
As the heartfelt words of one who knew all to well that prosperity is not simply the abundance of currency as some might think. However, that true prosperity is found in the quality of life itself and incorporates the total man: mind, body and soul. And that this particular life (Zoe) is found in Christ.
Jhn 10:10 "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have [it] more abundantly. |
