PRAY WELL, LIVE WELL

Introduction

Each posting consists of 3 readings of the Bible, one passage from the Psalms, one from the 4 Gospels, and one from the letters.


Psalms (150 psalms) are for praying and singing songs. Jesus while on earth used the Psalms as his prayer book and also as his song book to sing to the Father.


4 Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) are about the life of

Jesus.


Letters are written by apostles (Apostle Paul wrote the most numbers of letters to the churches to help the Christians in their Christian walk). In this section, we included Acts (it is found after John’s gospel). Acts is the history of the early church and how the church grew. Revelation (it is found after the letter of Jude) is the last book of the Bible, and shows the end of the world. Revelation is the hardest to understand because it is written with a lot of symbols.


For prayer, we use the Lord’s Prayer found in Matthew 6:9-13


Matthew 6:9-13 (ESV)

9   Pray then like this:

     “Our Father in heaven,

      hallowed be your name.

10 Your kingdom come,

      your will be done,

      on earth as it is in heaven.

11 Give us this day our daily bread,

12 and forgive us our debts (sins)

      as we also have forgiven our debtors (or those who sinned against us).

13 And lead us not into temptation,

      but deliver us from evil.


The Lord's prayer shows the 6 principles for living well.


  1. Our Father - we are God’s children because we believe. He is a real father to us.
  2. Hallow (or make holy) His name. Praising His name is one way of hallowing His name.
  3. Invite His will and kingdom to come into our individual lives, and also in the world.
  4. Ask God for our daily bread - Ask for natural things (passing exams) or spiritual things (to grow as a Chrisitian).
  5. Ask for forgiveness and also forgive people who hurt us.
  6. Deliver us from evil - Jesus said that there is an enemy who wants to oppose God’s work in our lives. We are not to be afraid but we believe that the Christian by the blood of Jesus will be victorious in the end.
