Prayer - Keep it Simple
Prayer. God isn't waiting to hear your extravagant words, or multiple
adjectives. It’s all about
simple prayer and more words aren’t better – better words are better. I’ve learned
something as I’ve studied prayer and those who pray. We make it way too complex.
I’m a big fan of simple prayer. Unassuming
prayers can bring
powerful results. The
Master’s prayers were usually quit down-to-earth and ours should follow
the pattern He set. The complexity of the problem didn’t seem to alter
Jesus’ simplicity of manner and it doesn’t need to alter ours. As a matter of fact, Jesus downplayed
the importance of words in prayers. Look in the Gospel of
Matthew where the Christ
said: “…when you pray, do not be as hypocrites
who love to pray loudly at synagogue or on street corners…” Mt 6:5 Voice
“Lord, lead me to the ones I need.
And, to the ones who need me.”
