Re-Learning Prayer
Home | A Miracle Every Day | Miracles | Re-Learning Prayer
I am so glad to be with you for the next 7 days.
Sometimes we find the miraculous in the “new”. There is a new healing, a discovery, a new path, or a new beginning. Other times, we find the miraculous on a familiar path, or somewhere we have been before, but God opens our eyes to a new revelation. For the next seven days, I want to invite you onto a familiar path, knowing that God has a new miracle waiting for us in the familiar.
I want to start with a bold proclamation…if you have a perfect prayer life, you are excused for the next seven days: If you are someone whose prayer life is easy, your mind stays focused all of the time and never wanders, you can pray for an hour and wonder where the time has gone, if you have never had an issue with why a prayer went unanswered, or if your communication with God is perfected, then you do not need to be here. But, the truth is, no one’s prayer life is this perfect.
This seven-day journey is for those of us who have acknowledged that our prayer life is not perfect. If your mind wanders or has struggled with talking and listening to God, if your idea of prayer is an endless list of needs, if you have ever wondered why God did not answer your prayer request, if you have ever wondered if you are praying right, or if you have ever questioned if prayer even works. If this is what you have experienced in your prayer life, then this series is for you, and I am right there with you.
We have a lot of misunderstandings when it comes to talking and listening to God. If you look at some of the ways we pray or how we learned to pray, it can be confusing.
Have you ever thought about some of the bedtime prayers we teach children?
“Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep, If I should die before I wake, I pray that Lord my soul to take…”. No wonder the kid is terrified to close his eyes! Yet we still wonder why they struggle at bedtime. Parents, it is time to find another alternative prayer that doesn’t frighten the children!
Have you ever thought about saying “Grace” before a meal? We sit down in front of a plate filled with lard, butter, cream, fat, oil, and more butter, and then we ask God to bless the food for the nourishment of our bodies. We may as well pray, “Lord, bless the willful hardening of my arteries because that is what we are doing”. But we pray because that is what we do.
What about the most famously spoken prayer that we pray and almost immediately forget, “God, if you get me out of the mess that I created all my myself, I promise that I will never, ever do it again.”
If you have ever wanted to connect deeply with God, I want to invite you back to the basics. For the next seven days, we are going to pray the miraculous prayer of Jesus. It is found in Matthew 6:9-13, let’s pray it together:
“Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be they name. Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For this is the Kingdom, and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.” (Matthew 6:9-13, NIV)
You are a miracle!
Amen ????????

Good Morning Pastor Grant and Brothers & Sisters worldwide through A Miracle Everyday! Thank You! I pray our Father helps to Guide, Guard and Ground our thoughts and heal our hearts and bodies too in Jesus” precious name!
~+~ AMEN ~+~
I had to chuckle; this is on point. I am guilty of these points. I too have been confused as to how to pray, what to say, I have a laundry list of things I want to ask for, thank for, etc.,THE BASICS, is all I need! Side note, I developed a bit of fear in church/ God because of some of the prayers you noted. Not only do they scare children, I think many are affected by it…moreover, the basics is the direct connection with God. I am excited to join for the next seven days. Thank you!
Amen ✝️ I try to incorporate this (The Lord’s Prayer) in most or actually all my prayers. Because that is how Jesus instructed us to pray ???? Praise God ????
I love this, thank you. Sometimes I think God knows just when for me to get on email and read something that is so important. To pray, something I do for sure. Amen
My parents taught me a different version as a young child some 70+ years ago:
Now I lay me down to sleep
I ray the Lord my soul to keep
In the morning light I wake
Help
Me the path of right to take.
Amen
This did not show up in a very good form. Also
I meant pray not ray!!! ????
Thank you, Grant!! Im excited for the next 7 days of prayer. May God keep you and blessing you and your family.
Pastor I am interested to with you as usually pray every day. I appreciate you invitation and encouragement and ask God to listen to our prayers for next seven days. God bless you.
Thank you heavenly Father, thank you Lord Jesus and thank you Holy Spirit in Jesus name. Amen
