Thoughts on prayer: anything we get from God beyond the cross is gravy.
Sometimes, I don't pray the right way:
- According to God's will.
- Based on True Need.
- Centered on God's Focus.
When I see the blue dot I will pray for:
People closest to me.
Requests from others.
Away from God (the lost, or drifting).
Your enemies.
I will admit, I got stuck on the details of "Your enemies." When you pray for your enemies, one of two things will happen. Either a) you'll stop praying or b) they'll stop being your enemy. You may not stop being theirs, but they won't be able to be yours any longer. I like b.
I really like this idea. I like the concept of P.R.A.Y., and there's now doubt I'll be stealing it. I think that praying for you enemies is one of the most revolutionary of Jesus' ideas and is central to changed hearts in the Kingdom. When we begin to think about the Kingdom above all else, that's when God is able to change our hearts.
