In a word of prayer

The other day as my son and I had morning prayer time in the F150 pickup truck, he really surprised me. Since we pray daily, there's some things that are repeated on a daily basis. But this day he added an extra line for his parents. Well, we were going off for the weekend for my wife's birthday and my son wanted to pray for our safe trip and have a good time.  So, he included it in his morning prayer to God.  I was certainly surprised that he had prayed did this and he did it without any coaching.  :-)

The bible says Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. We have definitely taught the value of prayer as it was a blessing to hear our son call us (his parents) out in a word of prayer. :-)

Perhaps this could be your ministry.  The bible says in the book of James that the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. My prayer mentor, (Dr. RC Henry)   prayed around the world. Actually for missionaries and many other things. But He prayed and we need to pray too.  The disciples (the twelve) saw our Lord Jesus pray and have prayer time.  It moved them so much that they said "Lord teach us to pray" and He did.  :-)

It would be Dr. Luke, who would give us this insight, see Luke 11:1

And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.

Matthew the recorder keeper, John the Beloved and Missionary John-MARK did not make a reference to this particular event, although Matthew 6 is a great chapter on prayer. John wrote about Jesus' prayer before the cross and Mark was more interested in telling us about Jesus' busy activities. :-)

It's a Divine Service that you can and may do. You don't have to be a ordained, but you do need to be saved, born again, born from above. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, but that which is born of the spirit is spirit, marvel not, do not wonder, that you must be born again.

For whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord, shall be saved !!

 God bless you friend, go to the Lord in a word of prayer. :-)
