- A PRAYER FROM JESUS -

This prayer is from Jesus that we may here from Him, that He may meet our needs. It only consist of three simple steps.

1) We need to read one scripture. This will focus us in the word that brings everlasting life.

2) Since this prayer is from Jesus we need yo direct our prayer to Him personally. Too often Christian focus they’re prayer’s to G_D the father. Scripture proclaims that Jesus should be the focus of our prayer.

3) The simplest part of this Prayer is to ask Jesus one question. Please, all that is required for this question is to make it simple. Let Jesus Himself finish the question when He gives you that understanding through prayer.

The PRAYER

The scripture that is the focus of this prayer is “ACTS 2:38″. It’s not necessary to do any study into this scripture. Jesus Himself willl bestow the understanding that will resonate in your heart.

The most important part of this prayer is that we need to direct our prayer directly to Jesus. If you normally would say Father in your prayer, change your focus from the Father to Christ Jesus by lifting Jesus name up every time you would normally use Father in your prayer.

Maybe the hardest part of this prayer is the question that we need to ask Jesus. For man as we are, always try to understand the question and may add many additional quires. The simplest question is all that is required.

Simply ask Jesus ‘WHY’

Like John Mark, I didn’t read any Salinger until after I was out of the supposed “target audience” age. I found Catcher in the Rye a wonderful book. Thanks to this post, I think maybe now I can articulate why.

Unlike John Mark, I was a pretty moody teenager. Mostly because of the insensitive :-) rejection of my obvious wonderfulness by many young women! I loved Catcher in the Rye.

LOL, I got more out of this review than I did out of reading Catcher in the Rye many moons ago.
