God's Grace
In faith we pray and receive God' Grace. 

God's Grace, Gifts, and Generosity is
    far beyond what we deserve,
       worth far more than we could every repay,
           is far greater than what we could ever earn,
   and that is the way God wants it.
God does not want us to have anything to do with His grace but to be humble enough to accept it, realize how much He loves us and understand how much He wants us to know Him.

When we are humble enough to understand that then we will be most authentic in our prayers.

Prayer is an Act of Faith and Trust

One of the great humble acts of our faith is our trust to ask others to pray for us. And, in our prayers, the prayers we request for ourselves, the prayers we request for others, the prayers others have for us, and in the prayers we have for others, God builds our our faith and we build our Trust in Him.  In our humility we are the most receptive to His guidance and in that, God does His best work on us.
    Great is our God. Praise be to our Lord God.

Authentic Prayers

Authentic prayers are the ones 
when we feel most humble toward God, 
feeling the need and desire of His Guidance, and 
most of all, acceptance of His answers.  

In our humility 
we easier submit in obedience 
to our Salvation through Jesus 
and 
have a proven barrier shielding us 
        our selfish arrogant sinfulness.

As we pray for ourselves we should also in the same prayer pray to be in God's will.  It is so easy to have a need and pray for God to answer that need and He will, but it is also easy to slip into praying for our wants without realizing we are also slipping into selfishness.
  
In praying for too many of our wants 
we may very quickly 
be disappointed with HIS answers.

Praying for others is probably our most authentic prayers.  
We are not very likely to pray for their wants and
   but be most discerning and earnest 
         in our prayers for their needs.

Our Humility is found in our most authentic prayers. 

Prayers begin best on our knees and 
             ends authentically with 
                 "not my will but yours be done".

Please pray for me and my wife,
thanks be to God,
lonnie
