For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Romans 10:13
Good Morning Lord
Lord, you have told me, "Whoever hears my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him" (John 14:21). Lord, you have given your Word and I want to obey. Give me a thirst to know more of you and spend more time in your Word. I love you. Please "show yourself to me " today. I praise you for who you are. In Jesus' name, amen. <><
Live Simply. Love Generously. Care Deeply. Speak Kindly. Leave the Rest to God.
" All who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God." Romans 8:14

“I Have Never Prayed”
In this manner, therefore, pray: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name…”
Matthew 6:9

Matthew 6:5-13
The late Methodist preacher, Charles A. Allen, once answered his doorbell to find a stranger on the stoop. “Something happened to me tonight that caused me to want to pray,” said the man. “But I have never prayed in my life and I do not know how. I don’t want you to pray for me—I want you to teach me how to pray for myself.”
What would we say to such a man?
Inviting the man in, Allan turned in the Bible to the Lord’s Prayer. He showed him how to kneel before an open Bible and to use this wonderful prayer as a pattern for telling God what was on his heart.
The Lord’s Prayer comprises just five verses and can be recited in less than a minute. Yet it contains all the essential elements of prevailing prayer: praise, priorities, provision, personal relationships, protection, and praise again. It begins with Our Father, ends with Amen, and touches every need in life. It can be committed to memory quickly, but it provides a lifetime of lessons for approaching the throne of grace.
The best way I know to learn to pray is to learn the Lord’s Prayer by heart.
