Prayer (175)
  1. If we want to see evidence of our Father’s answer to the fifth petition, we need only to look at the cross and the empty tomb.
  2. Even though the horn of plenty on our table is there as the fruit of our labor, that is also a gift of God’s grace
  3. The place where it is most difficult for us to accept God’s will is when suffering, calamities, and finally, death itself.
  4. Caleb, Scott, and Rod read and discuss Luther’s daily prayers out of the Small Catechism.
  5. Get behind me bourgie theology! Pick up your cross and turn on your radio to Ringside Preachers. Talking about Rush Limbaugh’s legacy, shaking hands like a man and not a fish, and you-know-who: Jesus.
  6. The kingdom of God has a proper name, and his name is Jesus, Son of God, Son of Man.
  7. Our prayer confesses that God’s abode is beyond us, yet ever so near for the prayer presupposes that we are being heard, even in our sighs and whispers.
  8. So, what do we pray? What do we say? In times of fear, in times of chaos, in unprecedented times, we pray and say the words that have been written on our hearts.
  9. As a parent listens for the cry of a hurting child, our heavenly Father waits for our cry of weal and woe.
  10. Scott, Caleb, and Rod read and discuss the petitions of the Lord’s Prayer and Luther’s explanations.
  11. Jesus is our sympathizer, our propitiation, and our advocate. We will be tempted but God will provide the way out, the way out is Jesus, the one who died for our sins.
  12. God has forgiven us our trespasses in Christ Jesus and it is his grace that begins the transformation process making us into little forgivers.
