Dear One,

The doctor says — “3 weeks” — he’s too busy!  The phone company says — “Your wait time is 15 minutes.”  God never says  — “I’m busy, wait — I’ll be with you shortly.”   “I’ll pray about that for you.”  Or, “What is wrong with you?”  “Are you nuts!”  Never!  Beloved!  You have doubts about prayer?  Stop trying to go where you are!

Jesus spoke — immediately raising people from being sick, dead — stoned — possessed — crippled — blind — bleeding — crying, tormented, dying — much more!  He never spent 3 days attending a “How to Raise the Dead” conference?  He spoke, acted quick, short!  He said — “Lazarus, come out!”   “Disciples, get in the boat — go to the other side.”  “Come.”  “Eat.”  “Ask.”  “Done.” “Father, forgive them.”  “My Spirit is yours — in your spirit.”

How much jibber jabber honkin’, crying, woe-is-me praying, talkin’ can some people do?  Jesus’ followers asked — “LORD, teach us to pray.”  This extreme prayer request could have come from — Jesus’ short jaw-dropping promises in prayer?  Jesus said — “Ask (expect) — it will be given to you.” “Believe Me — it is done.”  “You are all Good God made you to be — in all His Goodness.”

When the disciples asked Jesus to teach them to pray He gave them a prayer alright.  Jesus gave them His Praise Prayer — “Father, I honor You.”  “Your will is done on earth as Your will is done in heaven.”  Yes Beloved!  Praise Pray!  Yes!  Use the same Praise Prayers as Jesus!  Joyfully say —“I cross the river — I go to the other side.”  Praise Pray His Goodness — Done!
