How we are to pray

Thursday, June 21, 2018

Jesus told us, “When you pray, do not babble on the way the pagans do.” So let’s come up with a simple recipe for our prayers.

1. Put yourself in God’s presence. As Paul said, “He is not far from any of us for in him we live and move and have our being.”

2. We listen for what he has said applying to us.

3. We ask his help in bringing us to live up to the ideal he has set for us.

4. We return to resting in his presence.
