A Suggested Prayer From Our Savior


Dear Friends of "Dial Daily Bread,"
When you are too tired to think, perplexed, you're in darkness, tempted to discouragement, you don't know what to say even if you try to pray, your Savior has a suggestion for you (this is a free rendition of Matthew 6:9-11):
"Pray a prayer like this:
"My Father in heaven, may Your name, Your reputation, be honored in and through me! Give me by Your grace the ability to think of what YOU need more than what I need! Save me from bringing disgrace upon You!
"May the hindrances to the coming of Your kingdom be overcome; in other words, let nothing further delay the second coming of Jesus! Teach me how I (unworthy as I am) can 'hasten,' not delay, that day (2 Peter 3:12).
"May the righteous purposes of God find fulfillment on this sin-cursed world, may His love become triumphant here, even as those purposes find fulfillment in heaven. Teach me how I can help, not hinder.
"Give me today a morsel of the bread of life that I can assimilate, some concept of 'the truth of the gospel' clearer today than I knew yesterday (Gal. 2:5, 14). Don't let my soul starve any longer.
"Take away my sin of 'enmity against [You]' (Rom. 8:7), save me from holding any grudge against You or any other human being.
"Deliver me from the entanglements of Satan. Amen."
