NOW I LAY ME DOWN TO SLEEP.......YOU BETTER STOP IT!

Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your transgressions. 26 [But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven forgive your transgressions.”]  Mark 11:25-27


Am I the only one that remember this simplistic, juvenile prayer?  Where we went before God before we went to bed, simply to ask him to watch over us, protect those whom we love, and then if we were to slip into eternity to be the rescuer of our souls.

Jesus told His disciples that when you pray....if you have anything against ANYONE that you need to forgive them....so that God can forgive you of your transgressions.   REAL TALK, I'm pretty sure you transgressed GOD today.  

Think about it:  were you completely honest with HIM about your feelings about your boss?  How about did you follow through on all of the Spirit promptings today?  Did you give when He instructed you to?  Did you say what He told you to say to your children, your husband, etc?

Ok maybe you knocked those out of the park....howabout did you spend any REAL quiet time with Him?  If so you should have a journal with what He shared with you?  See I said STOP IT, because we can deceive ourselves in our pious prayers and wonder why GOD hasn't answered.  Or wondered why do I feel like He's not listening, or that they are bouncing off the walls or ceiling.   I simply submit to you.....did you forgive as well as ask forgiveness?

I pray the LORD my soul to keep, If I should die before I wake, I hope I've spent this prayer cleaning my slate of any hate....so that when I stand before to take my first eternal breath, I hear the LORD say now you can enter into my rest.   GOD BLESS...LGLP
