Praying through the Lord's prayer. It is wonderful to think that the Lord gave us a model of how to pray and that we can use this as a way to guide our own thoughts and prayers. Sinclair Ferguson points on this reading for today that Martin Luther wrote a booklet for his barber when he inquired about how to pray. Luther told him he could turn each prayer into a praise and a petition.
May we today take time to pause and pray and perhaps journal this out, that we could come before the Lord both in praise and petition! We read in Philippians 4:6-8 this exact truth. " DO not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
Amen!
