Title: When thou Prayest... Post by: Littleboy on October 27, 2007, 01:52:47 PM Matt.6:
5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. 7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. 8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, BEFORE ye ask him. 9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. I've always thought that THIS prayer should be said in the morning? Why: I thought it strange to ask God for my Daily bread and to keep me from Temptation & to Deliver me from Evil at the End of the Day.... P.S I Pray many times throughout the day & when needed... I don't mean to imply that it must be done in the morning by anyone, It's just MY OWN personal prefrence... Did you know? The beginning of the sermon on the mount starts at Matt. 5 & they don't come down until the 8th Chapter? Your Loving Brother Duane Title: Re: When thou Prayest...

when i awake at night right away i say our Father who art in heaven and so on, for those who can't , for those who are dying and no one to care for them and i fall asleep again and a couple of hours later when i wake up again i do the same our Father who art in heaven( and it is not in a matter of repetition it is a cry of mercy) it is a habit that I ask God to forgive me of because ,it is done with love and i know that he understand. love to pray this prayer in my semi sleep.thank you Jesus for giving us your words to whisper to Our Father with so much love For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever .Amen Love in Jesus .Def(';')byebye Littleboy Title: Re: When thou Prayest... Post by: Littleboy on October 27, 2007, 05:27:01 PM If its a habit Brother and you ask God to forgive you for doing it,
You must think it is wrong to do then? And your also saying God will understand because you mean well... And your right that will be for him to concider & judge(repetitive pray), Remember his ways are not our ways & his thoughts are not our thoughts & he's the same as he has always been... Have you ever had kids in the back seat that keep saying are we there yet, are we there yet? :D And How annoying that is, So I dare not to do that to my God(Father)... I'm not saying that your annoying God Brother, Like you said God knows your Heart... Godspeed Brother P.S If your own heart condemns you enough to ask God for forgiveness,you must stop it.. I say this out of Love... Your Loving Brother Duane Title: Re: When thou Prayest... Post by: Def on October 29, 2007, 02:05:01 PM If its a habit Brother and you ask God to forgive you for doing it, i believe that God understand this situation because as a human when i slightly am awake, if i don't put my mind on God right away i might be thinking of some human coporal thing seeing that I am very discipline and sober and abstinent for the long period of time and still very normal ( that is why I pray my God because I am all there) .Satan might use theses moments of lack of stenght to seduce me..so trying to controle my attention on God contenstly my thought toward My God right away is a good thing and Jesus showed me the words to say Incas of temptations" and i use them How about you....Love in Jesus my brother your sister Def(+¸+)Praise the Holy name of Jesus Christ my LordYou must think it is wrong to do then?

You keep doing whatever it takes to keep your mind on God... The world would be a better place if we all did that. Myself, I pray The Lords Prayer in the morning, Then I'll worship in the quietness of my spirit & in the stillness of my Heart, Glorifiying. Praising & give him Honor(amount of time flexuates)... I've been known to read my Bible from early in the morning to early in the morning the next day... I like to read a book at a time, not this verse then that one or this chapter then that one. So all that, and with my family and CU(ChristiansUnite),that keeps my mind on God pretty much all day.... I also try to imagine that the Lord is right next to me, and with that thought in my MIND it's kinda hard to do anything bad :) It takes time to get into the habit of doing it though...
