Short articles of the, "Yes Jesus" Book on prayer. # 86

 

Repeat after Jesus

“Our Father who art in Heaven.”

 

“Give us this day our daily bread.”

From your hands to our needs, oh Lord, give us that which is already ours by virtue of being your children.

 

That which we already know is your loving provision for us in order to be strengthened in our heart, soul, and mind. This is so we can love you with all our heart, soul, strength and mind and our neighbors as ourselves.

 

In the separate and holy name of Jesus, we ask your Kingdom to come on us first and then through us to others. This is just as your will is done in us and through us in others.

 

All is done under the pattern of how it is done in heaven where any other will is absent and thankfully so.

 

Give us today the bread of life in Jesus and feed us today until we want no more.

 

We come before you not as mendicants (beggars) but as your children.

 

We come before you, oh Lord, not even to remind you; for you have already prepared every provision for every need before the foundation of the world. So, we come in holy dependence to remind ourselves to whom we belong and upon whom we depend as does a suckling child for the breast of his mother. Feed us with that which is our portion. Feed us with that which is OUR daily bread. We rightfully demand that which you have trained us “To ask, to seek, to knock.” “WE were young and now we are old, we have never seen righteous forsaken nor his children begging bread.”

 

We have a source of every blessings and that is:

 

“Our father who art in heaven.”

 

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