    God hears the prayers of those who live honestly, with lives free of deceit.

    David comes to God praying that God hears his prayer because he speaks truth. Speaking the truth is a “prayer formula” that even those who don’t serve God know. Everybody knows the mouth must not speak deceit, flatter, or lies if the mouth wants to speak to God. But this ...read more

    Prayer And The Lord's Prayer

    Contributed by David Mcnally on Feb 24, 2014
    based on 2 ratings
     | 7,310 views

    The Lord's Prayer is not a 'carved in stone' set of words that we must use, but is a good guide for how to talk to God, Who wants us to pour out of hearts to Him, but not to try to impress others by our long and fancy words and 'super-spirituality'.

    Matthew 6 verses 5 – 13 PRAYING and THE LORD'S PRAYER Jesus based his teachings, and advice, and especially his parables on things, events and situations, that would be instantly recognisable and understandable to the people He was addressing. So, when He said ‘When you pray, do not ...read more

    Jesus describes believers as those who have: faith, obedience, and knowledge; and in the garden He prays for two specific things: protection in the world and unity among ourselves. Will we follow His lead and pray for the same?
