Talking

One of the things we need to talk to our Father about is spiritual protection. We have an enemy who is out to get us.

Living in real life means inevitable issues with people in our lives. When those issues arise, and they will, Jesus gives us specific instructions.

If there was ever a verse torn apart by being ripped out of context so often, today’s passage is it. A popular scriptural reference from the world of “Christian” pop psychology, this verse is to be memorized and written on your bathroom mirror with a permanent marker.

When Jesus taught us how to talk to the Father, he instructed us to pray, “your kingdom come.” Why did Jesus tell us to include this in our prayers? For an explanation, let’s consider 1 Corinthians 15:24-25.

God is impressed by the sincere cries of my heart.

Think before you speak. That simple exercise is going to keep you from a lot of sin and regret.

Our prayer focus today is simply this, “Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.”

Godly decisions require talking to God. Forgetting to pray is a formula for failure.

Remember, prayer is simply talking to God. Tell him about the battle you are in (temptation, doubt, fear, anxiety).
