When I was a new Christian my pastor used to call us younger guys on Sunday nights to collect the offering ( it’s an old story lol). I would be naval gazing. because I was scared he would call on me. That night he called on the guy next to me , I thought he gave a good prayer. My Pastor looked up and said “Boy when I call on you to pray , you pray for me so I can preach God’s word , y’all got that.” This was followed by 6 yes sirs in unison.
As I was passing the plate it struck me that was good info ! If I was called on I would know what to pray for.
Jesus was asked “Lord teach us to pray”
“Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name.
10Your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
11Give us this day our daily bread,
12and forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Can a prayer given to us by Jesus be out of his will ? Of course not !
When I’m stuck I use this prayer. I personalize it
Our Father in heaven Holy be your name now and forever
Your kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven
Give me this days needs
Forgive me my sins
As I forgive those who have wrong me
Don’t lead me in a time of testing
Deliver me from the evil one
In Jesus name Amen
I then continue with prayers for family, friends, etc.
How about you do you use this prayer ?
