Lord, teach us to pray just as John also taught his disciples. He said to them, When you pray, say:
Father, hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.
Give us each day our daily bread.
And forgive us our sins,
For we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us [who has offended or wronged us].
And lead us not into temptation but rescue us from evil]. (Luke 11:1-4) We live our lives in the same way that we initially received in Christ Jesus; through faith and trust in Him. It's not just about a one-time decision but about a continuous, ongoing walk with Christ. Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in [union with] Him [reflecting His character in the things you do and say--living lives that lead others away from sin], having been deeply rooted [in Him] and now being continually built up in Him and [becoming increasingly more] established in your faith, just as you were taught, and overflowing in it with gratitude. (Colossians 2:6-7) Don't let anyone move you off the foundation [of your faith]. Always excel in the work you do for the Lord. You know that the hard work you do for the Lord is not pointless. (2 Corinthians 15:58) Dedicated and diligent in our ministry and service, whatever form that may take. A commitment that's rooted in the understanding that our labor for the Lord is not in vain.
By engaging in ministry, service, and good works, recognizing that every effort, no matter how small, contributes to God's kingdom. Do two walk together unless they have agreed to do so?
(Amos 3:3) How can two walk unless they agree? Unless mutual understanding and agreement for two individuals to effectively cooperate or collaborate. The ability to work together relies on aligning one's actions with another's. A desire to align our actions
and decisions with God's will;
honoring God's name and seeking the advancement of His kingdom. By inviting God to have the same authority over your life as He does over heaven.
Your kingdom come, Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. (Matthew 6:10) God's perspective, plans, and methods are beyond human comprehension and are often superior to our own understanding,
We cannot fully grasp God's understanding thoughts, or the reasons behind His actions.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” declares the LORD. (Isaiah 55:8)
