The Dive is Back!!!
Matthew 6Be careful not to do your righteous acts before men...
how do you do that?
what could we do "in secret"?
...pray
...help the needy "under the radar", go find them and do it with out lights flashing and sirens blaring
prayer.. do in the quiet, secret place... but how? what does it look like?
...drive by prayer (copyright Tom Cottar, 2005); shake a hand, hear their heart,
pray silently right then for them
...don't use vain repetition; whats the difference between VAIN repetition
and repeating things we need to focus on? is there one?
...should there be guide lines? are there any? what about David in Psalm?
"give us this day our daily bread." if we pray that will it happen? if we don't pray it will it happen anyway?
if it is God's will for "THIS" to happen, would it make any difference what so ever
if we did or didn't pray for "THIS"?

We pray:
"Give us this day our daily bread."
We treat it as a provision for our individual needs directly from God. But is it really? Or are we praying together for ourselves and each other in God's church? And is God providing for us all through us all?
The question was asked, are there Christians who are hungry? I struggle with that as well, but I don't view it as an abrogation of the Father's promise, but as our failure. Has he not provided his church enough for the basic daily needs of its individual members? Is not the reason that some are hungry our fault --- my fault --- not the Father's?
