Lord Teach us to Pray.     Luke 11 v 1.

Do you pray in the comfort zone or the combat zone?

Do your requests focus mainly on relief from trials, healing of sicknesses and safe journeys, etc?  Or are you concerned that God's Name be hallowed, His will accomplished and His Kingdom advanced in and through those for whom you pray?

That is the combat zone.   Relief, healing and safety are not ends in themselves.   And they are only good for us when their fulfillment contributes to His will being done and His Name being glorified.   At the point we start to "wrestle against the rulers of the darkness of this world", our prayers become strategic.   Lord teach us to pray.                            C.F.
