Week 8 - The Journey Day 8
"Again, [amen,] I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything for which they are to pray, it shall be granted to them by my heavenly Father." Matthew 18:19
The power of prayer. "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." Matthew 18:20 What actions does Jesus show us in how He lives His faith. It wasn't hidden, He practiced what He preached and His actions spoke of His belief.
As I prayed with this verse today, God revealed the Truth in how we are to live. If we believe then we will share with others of our belief. We will show how God is active in our lives. Jesus as Son of Man, remember His Divine Nature, while still God was not the active part of His humanity. He is all man as we are all man, it is His Divine will that operates within us.
When we share of ourselves, confirm it with another, God will answer our prayer. Now some of us may question this but God answers all of our prayers. ""Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened." Matthew 7:7-8. Prayers are answered in many different ways and not as we would think.
What is God saying to me? In the quietness of your heart you hear the truth. I do not always reveal it right away, there are times we sit together and I look at you, My creation as you ponder. The truth is the journey and you are living it.
Dear Father, words can not describe my thoughts and feelings. I sit with You and ponder all that is being given. You have the paint brush in Your hand and are bringing all things together. In the journey I am learning more and more about You thru the life of Your Son, through Your Word and through my life. You hear my prayers, You hear our prayers and there is a comfort in knowing they are answered in the best possible outcome that will bring about Your Kingdom. You are God and You love me and all of Your creation. Prayers for a friend learning to live again knowing there is a day that he will meet You. Strengthen his heart and his faith to become Your disciple. I ask this in the name above every other name, Jesus Christ, Amen.
Mary, Queen of Heaven, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Most Strong, Pray for us.
