Prayer

How to pray? Before Jesus tells us how to pray - he tells us in His Word how not to pray. The last place you should look for how to pray is religious people.

What does it mean in the Lord's prayer when we say "Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven"? A couple of nuggets to pay attention to in the following video

• Pagan Prayer = Making God do something
• Those who pray Biblically = Change
• Do we really ever pray like this = your will be done

When we really pray that God's will would be done we take the focus of us and put our focus and trust in the Sovereign Almighty God. When it comes down to it, I believe we like control - and the tendency I believe is to think we can control God - and one of the ways we try to do that is through prayer. When we pray for God's will to be done vs. telling God what to do - we can be released from worry, anxiety, and doubt as God will carry out his good, pleasing, and perfect will.
