Growing Toward The Cross
Together we explore the words of the Lord's Prayer. What does this prayer say about God's call on our lives? How does the prayer draw us closer to God and one another? How do we live out challenges and live into the promises found in the prayer?
Conversations for the next few weeks
Feb 17 (Ash Weds) - Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Feb 21 - Thy kingdom come, thy will be done,
Feb 28 - On earth as it is in heaven.
Mar 7 - Give us this day our daily bread,
Mar 14 - And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those that trespass against us,
Mar 21 - And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil,
Mar 28 - for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

Powerful prayer, Chip. It says a lot with a few choice words. Well written.
ReplyDeleteI was punched in the stomach this morning. The discipline of having a spiritual life. It takes committment. Dedication. Training.
ReplyDeleteI train for marathons, 1/2 marathons, triathlons...I train about 10-15 hours per week. For what? Let me tell you, not for glory, not for fame, not for money. I don't get anywhere near the podium. It's just because I love to do it.
...and how much more do I say I love God? And yet, I have no discipline. No committment. No training. If I 'trained' half as much in my spiritual life as I do in this physical one, how much more peace would I discover?
