"And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors," Matthew 6:12

"Can you imagine how freeing it would be to end your day by fully forgiving anyone who wronged you that day? To have a clean slate? To not carry today's wrongs into tomorrow? This is one of the many ways we get to practice the way of heaven here on earth. We offer others the forgiveness we ask for and receive from God."
Jarrett Stevens in Praying Through, p24

"Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven," Matthew 6:10

"The idea is that you and I bring God's perfect way to the often-imperfect ways of this world, that this physical realm becomes a place where we practice what is commonplace in heaven."
Praying Through by Jarrett Stevens, p23.

My will be FAITH. He put this word on my heart while listening to the story of Peter walking on the water with Him. What is your "word" for the year? Maybe it's a phrase or a vision God has given you. I would love to hear all about it!!

"Once Jesus was in a certain place praying. As He finished, one of His disciples came to Him and said, 'Lord, teach us to pray...'" Luke 11:1

"No Christian rises any higher than his or her praying. Everything we are and everything we do for the Lord depends on prayer. Without prayer our work is useless. If we had the privilege of asking the Lord for one specific blessing, 'teach me to pray' would be the wisest request because every other blessing in the Christian life depends in one way or another on our ability to pray."

"Lord, help me; the shortening of private devotions starves the soul; it grows lean and faint. This must not be. I must redeem more time. I see how lean in spirit I become without full allowance of time for private devotions; I must be careful to be watching unto prayer."
~William Wilberforce as quoted by E.M. Bounds in Purpose in Prayer, p86.

"One day Jesus told his disciples a story to show that they should always pray and never give up." Luke 18:1

"Always does not mean that we are to neglect the ordinary duties of life; what it means is that the soul that has come into intimate contact with God in the silence of the prayer chamber is never out of concious touch with the Father; that the heart is always going out to Him in loving communion; and that the moment the mind is released from the task upon which it is engaged, it returns as naturally to God as the bird to its nest."
~E.M. Bounds in The Purpose in Prayer, p 73-74
