Short articles of the, "Yes Jesus" Book on prayer. # 53

 

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

“Our Father who art in Heaven”

 

If prayer can be accomplished in us, what these four words are meant to communicate to our hearts and minds would change us so much; we would be so different that nothing would be impossible. 

 

While we are in this world there is still a gap between what we say we believe and what we really believe. 

 

When the words, “Our Father who art in Heaven” becomes a total reality in our lives, that moment our souls will experience such a great transfiguration that it will be hard for us even to recognize ourselves. Then God will not find it difficult to say of each of us, “This is my son whom I love; in him I am well pleased.”

 

Individually we intermittently experience the beauty of prayer with “Our Father in Heaven”. It becomes a floodlight when two or three agree and with the mind of Christ pray, “Our Father who art in Heaven.” Then, things will be a prayer away.

 

Our Lord encourages us to pray, not only by teaching us to pray, but also by promising beforehand the outcome of any prayer, as long as it is presented in agreement with one another and according to His will.

 

God, Our Father who art in Heaven, answers prayer according to His will. There is only one will that rules Heaven and the same will should rule on earth, His footstool. # 53. 

 

This is the teaching elder on duty in matters of Prayer.
