The Significance of African American Men Praying


10

The intimacy that I long for in my physical relationships should be the same way I feel about God

Closer than close God should be the first person that you turn

to in crisis Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean

not unto Psalms thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5

I CANNOT PRAY I can not say OUR if my religion has no room

for others and their needs I can not say Who ART IN HEAVEN if all my

interests and pursuits are in earthly things I can not say HALLOWED BE THY NAME if I,

who am called to bear His Name, am not holy

The Lord’s Prayer

I can not say THY KINGDOM COME if I am unwilling to give up my own sovereignty and accept the righteous reign of God

I can not say ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN unless I am truly ready to give myself to His service here and now.

I can not say GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD without expending honest effort for it, or by ignoring the genuine needs of others

The Lord’s Prayer


15

Breath Prayers


16

I can not say FORGIVE US OUR TRESPASSES AS WE FORGIVE THOSE WHO TRESPASS AGAINST US if I continue to harbor a grudge against someone

I can not say LEAD US INTO TEMPTATION if I deliberately choose to remain in a situation where I am likely to be tempted

I can not say DELIVER US FROM EVIL if I am not prepared to fight in the spiritual realm with the weapon of prayer.

The Lord’s Prayer


17

Except for God


18

I can not say THINE IS THE KINGDOM if I do not give the King the disciplined obedience of a loyal subject

I can not say THINE IS THE POWER if I fear what my neighbors and friends may say or do.

I can not say THINE IS THE GLORY if I am seeking my own glory first

I can not say FOREVER if I am too anxious about each day’s events

I can not say AMEN unless I honestly say “ Cost what it may, This is my prayer.”

The Lord’s Prayer
