Jesus Said........

Matthew 6;5-13 (KJV)

And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.


It is quite amazing that Jesus layed out the way we are to go to the Father in prayer and yet most of us will not even learn to recite these words. Prayer.... it is a game changer. In the sense that once a prayer is made, the tide can turn within an instance.

For these past few days, I have been praying concerning this next level that I am stepping into. What continues to keep me moving forward is the fact that I know I can access God thru prayer. It can be done at any hour of the day. Prayer (communicating with God) is wonderful!!!

Ever felt like you couldn't make it through the rest of your workday? Then you find your way to the bathroom, close the door to the stall, and just pray? Once you returned to your work area, didn't the rest of that workday seem to go so much more smoothly? I am asking these questions so that you all will be encouraged to remember during the next "difficult" workday. Likewise, when you don't pray about a matter, the situation could become rocky, and you end up exhibiting characteristics which could not be associated with being a child of God. I am currently dealing with a situation that is such. I entered into agreement with a friend, without praying about it, and my agreement wasn't for any other benefit other than the satisfaction of my flesh. Oh how I regret not seeking God on the matter!!!!!!

Please, my Brothers and Sisters, if you didn't quite read all of the above, please, pay close attention to this little bit. Pray about everything! Trust Yer Brova when I tell you. If I had taken one moment to seek God about this situation, I would have Peace, Joy, and Comfort. Now, it is not a disater in my life (God protects us from even ourselves), but I do have to get a taste of what the full weight could have been. All because I didn't pray.... Understand?

So, as you find yourself in whatever situation you may, do not hesitate to pray about it. If you are standing on the Mercedes Benz lot, looking at that new CLK. Pray about it. If you are walking through the mall and see a pair of Manolos. Yes! Pray about it. If you standing in front of the engagement ring counter at Robbins Bros. Please, pray about it. If he is on his knee with that two carat, emerald cut, invisible set engagement ring. Pray about it. Do not allow any situation to pass by, anymore, without prayer. And, if you are sitting their, saying to yourself, "I would not know what to say in all of those different situations". Well, Jesus told you what to say.


Holla,
