Back to the saddle in matters of prayer. "Yes Jesus" #1

---

 

Jesus said: “This, then, is how you should pray”

“Our Father who art in Heaven”

 

It is said that the cry of an infant is a prayer to his parents.

 

A baby cries when he is hungry, and then he is fed. 

A baby cries when he is sleepy and he is put down for a nap.

A baby cries when he is wet and his diaper is changed. 

A baby cries when he has gases and he is made to burp. 

A baby cries when he is scared and his parents comfort him. 

 

The cry of a baby is designed for the parent’s ears only. 

The cry of a baby is not designed for stranger’s ears. 

The cry of a baby has power over his parents. 

The cry of a baby generates communion with a mother, 

The prayer of a believer generates communion with God.

 

The parents cannot ignore the cry of their baby. 

The privilege of a child is to have parents. 

The responsibility of the parents is to care for their child. 

Privilege and responsibility must meet together.

When they do meet sweet communion is lived to its fullness.

 

Jesus taught us to call God “Our Father in Heaven” 

 

Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—  children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.

 

This, then, is how you should pray: “Our Father who art in Heaven.”
