SEEK DAILY (NBC) Monday, December 29 Matthew 6:1-8 WHENEVER YOU PRAY When you pray, don’t babble on and on as people of other religions do. They think their prayers are answered only by repeating their words again and again. Matthew 6:7, NLT Prayer is a very important aspect of Christianity. It is the means by which we communicate with God. Jesus in today’s text gave instructions on prayer: (a) Do not pray that others may see and praise you. The only reward you will gain is the praise from people (verse 5). (b) Pray to God only, and not to others (verse 6). To pray in the secret means your prayer should be said where your concentration will be on God alone. (c) Your prayer must not be full of vain repetition (verse 7). We don’t know how we ought to pray or what to pray for. We must allow the Holy Spirit to inspire us in prayer so as to pray aright. (d) Be conscious of the fact that God knows your needs and He has ready-made provisions for them (verse 8). All you need to do is to ask, and you shall be given. • Birthday Blessing: “In that day the Lord God Almighty will be a glorious crown, a beautiful wreath for the remnant of his people” Isaiah 28:5 Read Bible Through Passage: Zechariah 11-13; Revelation 21:1-14. In prayer it is better to have a heart without words, than words without a heart…. The best prayers often have more groans than words. - John Bunyan *********************** Endeavour to rebroadcast this devotional message to others on your contact list. Have a happy night rest.
