TEXT:
Matthew 6:5-14
TOPIC:
THE PRACTICE OF PRAYER
Prayer, which is a
means of communicating with God, has been misunderstood by contemporary
Christians. It has become a means of showing off or arguing about the posture
and methods to be adopted during such an important encounter with God.
Jesus drew the
attention of His listeners to the fact that prayer is not a n exercise in
showing off but a communion with the Father.
He warned against
praying in such a way as to be seen by men but for our Father to feel our
hearts during that communion with Him.
He encouraged us to
approach our Father who knows our needs in a manner that will honour Him. He
went ahead to give a model through the Lord’s prayer.
We must begin to
practice prayer as God desires so as to get His blessings.
QUESTION:
What do you understand by prayer?
PRAYER:
Help me, dear Lord, to develop a proper perspective on prayer and grant me the
grace to encounter You mightily each time I come before You in prayers, in
Jesus name. Amen.
Remain
Blessed
