KISS

KISS How do you PRAY to the Lord? Are your prayers complex Or are they SIMPLE? Years ago-there used to be An anagram called KISS- Which meant KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID Your prayers do NOT Have to be complex- In fact the SIMPLER they are And the MORE PURE that they are I think the BETTER- They are liked by the Lord Not that the Lord Can't handle ANY KIND of prayers “In PRAYING-do not babble Like the pagans Who think That they will be heard BECAUSE of their many words …..... Your Father KNOWS what you need BEFORE you ask him” Matthew 6:7, 8 KEEP IT SIMPLE The Lord knows Your needs- The Lord knows Your prayers SO the simpler prayers Are usually the BEST The Hail Mary-The Our Father- The Sign of the Cross- And GRACE before meals But anything IN YOUR OWN WORDS That is from your HEART Is just as good PRAYER is nothing more (or less)- Than OPENING our heart and soul To God KISS It only takes- A few words To COMMUNICATE Our prayers to God “The Lord Will GUIDE you always He will SATISFY Your needs In a sun-scorched land And will strengthen Your frame You will be Like a well-watered garden Like a spring WHOSE WATERS never fail” Isaiah 58:11 “And my God Will meet ALL your needs According to the riches Of his GLORY In Christ Jesus” Philippians 4:19 The point is: We don NOT need to “BABBLE” For our prayers to be effective With God He HEARS our prayers- The more simpler-the more concise- And the more PURE that they are I think The more OUR LORD- Likes them “WHEN they cry out To me I will HEAR- For I am COMPASSIONATE” Exodus 22:27 Kiss-KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID GOD HEARS ALL In Jesus' name- WE PRAY Robert P.
