do we REALLY??????

by Karmen |

the sense of urgency came over me again tonight
as we concluded our study by Kay Arthur
Lord, Teach Me to Pray

do we REALLY hallow at His name??
recognizing that HIS name is not hollow.
He is:
AWESOME
Sovereign
Holy
Faithful
Loving
Worthy

we say
“your kingdom come”
but
do we REALLY pledge our allegiance to Him?
do we really want what He wants above all else?
does our heart break over the things that break His heart?

we have mastered this part haven’t we??:
“give us this day our daily bread”

but what about this part?:
“forgive us our debts/trespasses as we forgive our debtors or those who trespass against us”

are we REALLY willing to forgive those who trespass against us?

we make it an option
it’s not.

and how often do we pray?
“lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil”
not nearly enough

what tempts you? have you ever thought about it?

you know the little stuff matters.
the music
the books
the movies

think about it..

and finally back to where we started….
worshipping.
Him.

“For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.”

did you catch that?
FOREVER

wow.
 Amen
