Genesis 18:20-32; Ps 138; Colossians 2:12-14; Luke 11:1-13

As it is in heaven

Finding the right words and mood for prayer can be a lumpy process, sometimes. The prayers won’t form and there’s no sense of beauty or excitement as you talk to God. A remedy for this can be meditating on the Lord’s Prayer – praying the way Jesus taught us. Maybe this is the way the angels and saints pray in heaven.

Dear God, even when I find it hard to connect with you, I still love you. May all creation praise your holy name, as it is in heaven.
