The Power of Unified Prayer
"So He said to them, 'When you pray, say: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven'" (Luke 11:2 nkjv).
If we were to write what is known as the Lord's Prayer, it probably would sound like this: "Our Father in Heaven, give us this day our daily bread. Let's just get down to business. Here's my list."
There is a place for petition. There's nothing wrong with asking the Father in Heaven for what you need.
However, let's notice that the template for prayer Jesus gave us begins this way: "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven" (Luke 11:2 nkjv).
In other words, first take time to contemplate the greatness of God. There are exceptions, of course. If you fall off a ladder and you're on your way down, a simple "God, help!" will do.
But when we begin our prayers by thinking about the awesomeness of God, it will cause us to see our problems, crises, and burdens in a different light. It will change our perspective as we recognize that God is bigger than our problems. |
