Do We Pray Correctly?

 

There are two famous and often repeated prayers from the Bible that many us as mantras.

 

“You therefore pray like this, ‘Our Father who is in Heaven, Holy is Your Name! Your Kingdom Come Your Will be done in the earth as it is in Heaven! Give us today what we need for life and forgive us our sin as we forgive those who sin against us! Do not let us be led into temptation but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is The Kingdom and The Power and The Glory forever. Amen!’” Matthew 6:9-13

 

“then, if My people, who are called by My Name will humble themselves, pray, seek My face and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from Heaven, forgive their sin and heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14

 

The problem is not the prayers it is our heart attitude when we pray them! We pray them for what we want rather than what GOD Will is, even when we are praying for GOD’s Will we have in mind what that is rather than just receiving. We most often quote and pray these verses out of context in relation to what we are praying for.

 

Reread Matthew 6:5-15 and 2 Chronicles 7:11-22, then pray them with an open mind and a willing heart to receive and obey.
