I thought I would do one more post on prayer today. I am working through all the elements found in this passage for the sermon on Sunday. One of the things that I think we can understand from Jesus’ words is that authentic prayer is just that – authentic. It must be real, it must be from your true self.
All of us carry baggage – we are complex beings with many layers that make up who we are. But when we strip away all the external layers and get at the heart of who we really are, that person that really only God knows, we have reached the true self, we have reached the point of being able to pray unhindered.
I encourage you today to get real with God – be yourself. God already knows you anyway!
Have a great weekend and as always, thanks for reading.
