Our Father who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy 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 trespasses
As we forgive them that trespass against us
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil;
Can we pray like this and feel like it's enough? I mean are your prayers really making a difference or is it just something that makes you feel better? Jesus made it sound so simple, and yet it seems that some churches complicate it so much. In fact, in James 4:3 we're reminded that if we do not receive it's because we don't ask or if you ask you, "fail to receive, because you ask with wrong purpose and evil, selfish motives. Your intention is [when you get what you desire] to spend it in sensual pleasures." So just remember that prayer is really simple and a means of communication both ways. it's not a text, or a sonnet, it's a conversation :)
