Hindrances to Prayer, Part 33 (The Prayer Motivator Devotional #444)

Our prayer motivator verse for today is John 14:13-14 which reads, "And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it."

Our prayer motivator quote today is from Brother Lawrence. He said: "God does not ask much of us, merely a thought of Him from time to time, a little act of adoration, sometimes to ask for His grace, sometimes to offer Him your sufferings, at other times to thank Him for the graces, past and present, He has bestowed on you, in the midst of your troubles to take solace in Him as often as you can. Lift up your heart to Him during your meals and in company; the least little remembrance will always be the most pleasing to Him. One need not cry out very loudly; He is nearer to us than we think."

Our prayer motivator devotional today is part 33 of our series titled "HINDRANCES TO PRAYER" from Dr. John R. Rice.

If we want to be like Jesus, we must forgive. Dying on the cross, He prayed about the people who crucified Him, who mocked Him while He died, who gave Him vinegar mingled with gall when He was thirsty, who had spit in His face -- for these He prayed, "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do." 

And that attitude of mind and heart which Jesus had is to be ours, also.
