20: The Lords Prayer : Part 2

Dearest Daughter,

You know it's a lovely morning, when you rise to pray and spend time with your creator. 

As a very young little girl, you are a champ at your prayers, but I also want to teach you to pray, in the same way that Jesus taught his disciples to pray.

Luke 11:1-3  - Please take the time to read it.

A disciple asks Jesus to teach them how to pray, and Jesus responds, "Pray Like:
"Father, may your name to honored, May Your kingdom come soon.  Give us our food, day by day, and forgive us our sins, just as we forgive those who have sinned against us.  And do not let us yield to temptation."

Let me begin to teach you, in the same way as I was taught by my mother, following the pattern Jesus gave his disciples that day he spoke those words.

"Father, may your name be honored."

The first thing Jesus does, is HONOR THE FATHER. He comes, not with requests and complaints, He comes and first focuses on the greatness of God.  Come into prayer with this same attitude, taking time to realize you are talking to God Almighty.  Honor Him, tell Him you Love Him, acknowledge His Holiness.


"May Your Kingdom Come Soon."

Take time to acknowledge His return, and remember that this world and all it's issues, (and yours) will soon pass. 

"May Your will be done here on earth, just as it is in Heaven."

Pray to God that His Will be done.  This is a prayer of  the heart, confessing that yes, you may have plans of your own, but ultimately, you desire for God's will to be done, because you know it is best for you and all the Kingdom.  God's will is done in Heaven, and it's a wonderful place, if we all followed God's will, Earth would be just as wonderful as we could imagine... so pray to God, that HIS will be done in your life, and do not be upset when it comes to pass!
