  Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of Reflection on the Word with
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Richard K. I'm Chuck Christie, and today we are asking
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: you to spend a few moments of your time with
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: us each day as Richard shares from God's work with notes, quotes,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: and stores, along with some of his own personal experiences,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: to confirm for you God's great love for us, that
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: his compassion for us never fails, and that He has
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: a great faithfulness toward us in every regard. In Lamentations
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Chapter three, verses twenty two and twenty three, we read,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: because of the Lord's great love, we are not consumed,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Great is your faithfulness. Now, if you miss a portion
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: of today's broadcast or would like to recommend it to
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: a friend, you can hear this program anytime online at
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Talknetwork Radio dot com. Well, now here's Richard with today's reflection.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: He was praying in a certain place, and when he
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: was asked by his disciples, Lord teach us to pray,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: just as John has taught his disciples to pray. We'd
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: like to be able to talk about prayer, titling the
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: message simply from the scripture. Lord teach us how to pray.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: We are admonished to pray for those who are in
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: a parity. That means the President, the Vice president, the
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: cabinet members, Joint chiefs of staff, Armed forces commands, admirals,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: generals and other military officers, Senators and House of Representatives, delegates, governors,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: attorney generals, Supreme Court justices and all judicial officials, federal,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: state and local law enforcement, school board administrations and teachers,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: county and city government officials, fire chiefs, environments, rescue workers,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: emergency teams, disaster relief charitable and religious organizations, Red Cross,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Salvation Army, churches, temples, moss and synagogues, pastors, priests and raptis,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: parents and elders. Perhaps if we devoted more time to praying,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: we would have better leaders, let's to argue about, and
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: more agreement. The list above can certainly be expanded to
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: include the CEOs of companies, employers, bosses, and supervisors. Since
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: we have so many to pray for and so much
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: to be thankful for, there should be no way to
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: forget the service of those in authority. We are further
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: admonished to pray for our nation, neighbors, friends, and even
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: our enemies. Those people of faith believe that in all knowing,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: all loving, ever present, God hears and answers prayer. It
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: has been said that prayer changes things. In many cases,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: God changes people who pray, who then change the things
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: for which they Prayer is not only a dialogue that
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: states our wants, needs, desires, and ambitions, but rather, prayer
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: is recognizing that God is in total control and knows
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: what is best for us. Prayers seeking the will of
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: God in and through every circumstance. Prayers sacrificing our wants
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: and needs to help meet the needs of others. Prayer
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: is God's heart and mind transfused into our human spirit.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Prayer supersedes intellect and transcends logic. Prayer believes the miraculous,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: achieves the impossible, and reveals the eternal. Prayer is preparation
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: for righteousness, the pathway of holiness and humility. Prayers communion
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: and fellowship with the Creator God. Prayer brings heaven to earth.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Prayer comforts us us and our losses, and unites us
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: in times of compassion. Prayer heals us of disease and affliction,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: forgives us for our transgressions and faults. Prayer puts faith
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: in motion and fear to flight. Prayer communicates the authority
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: of God and the confidence in acknowledging that authority. Prayer
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: is the demonstration of faith in action. Prayer is the
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: expression of gratitude and the confession of attitude. Truly, prayer
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: is the supreme language of all races, creeds, and cultures.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Richard will be right back in a moment to wrap up.
• 5:45

  Speaker 1: and printed by Discovery House Publishers. Again, here is Richard
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: to wrap up today's message.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Jesus was not asked how to yield, deliver, or set
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: free those in bondage. Although he did teach and demonstrated
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: all of those things, but he was asked by his
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: followers to teach them how to pray. Examine your prayer life,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: and you will find joy in serving him. Joy is
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: an acronym. It stands for Jesus verse others. Next yourself,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: lead us, Lord, teach us how to pray. And that
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: is today's Reflection on the Word.
• 7:18
