Share in his suffering, what lies ahead 

The Lord's prayer, Matt. 6:9-13

Moody Pastor Phillip Miller, January 12

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. 

     "Life is a series of tests. How do we overcome fiery trials? Take up your cross. Self-denial. Pray for deliverance."

Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.

     "Define the enemy in the test. Trouble may come before winning. The real danger is evil, our enemy."

     "Run to our Father; don't face it alone. We are tested by hard things, not to harm us but to transform us. He provides the way. Testing of our faith involves trust and dependance on eternal good. Jesus said, 'Take up your cross and follow me.'"

Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory. 

     "Led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted, Jesus prevailed over the devil. Later, in the Garden of Gethsemane, he said, 'Not my will...' Faced with trials and temptations, he takes us through the cross to glory. We follow him, running with endurance. Don't grow weary. Fix your eyes on the end." 

Wednesday: Pray for our president???
