1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,640 So I rode my bicycle for a year in 2010 from Canada to Columbia. 2 00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:10,520 And as part of that journey, I discovered that basically a billion people in 3 00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:13,240 the world didn't have access to clean drinking water. 4 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:17,960 So I began this journey and did some higher level education and 5 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,280 then on a series of trips with my friends in the last six years. 6 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:26,080 That's all led us to this spot now we've become very interested in 7 00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:30,520 small scale decentralized desalinization projects. 8 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:31,440 It's really the future. 9 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:46,200 Hi everyone, I'm stoked again that you could be with us for today's Meet Your Talk. 10 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:51,480 It's my passion to help you understand every word of God that's in the word of God. 11 00:00:51,480 --> 00:00:58,560 God has so many amazing things that he wants to teach us and encourage us with every single day. 12 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,920 I thank you for being with us today. 13 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:02,880 Now, our objective is simple. 14 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:07,400 It's disciples making disciples who plant churches that plant churches. 15 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:12,560 We want to see a grassroots revolution all over the world. 16 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:19,480 Matthew 6 verses 1 and 2 says that otherwise you have no reward from your father in heaven. 17 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,040 Talking about good deeds. 18 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:25,360 Now charitable deeds is actually the word righteousness. 19 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:32,600 Jesus tells us not to do righteous things for the sake of display or image, you know, to be seen by them. 20 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,040 Jesus has just clearly shown God's righteous standards. 21 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:41,040 Perhaps he anticipated the thought wouldn't everybody be impressed if I was like that. 22 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:46,040 So here Jesus addressed the danger of cultivating an image of righteousness. 23 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:54,040 It's almost impossible to do spiritual things in front of others without thinking what their opinion is of us as we do those things 24 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:59,640 and how they're thinking better or worse than what we're doing as we do it. 25 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:05,200 Now this does not contradict his previous command to let your light shine before men. 26 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,960 Matthew 5. So what's going on here? 27 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:15,400 Now although Christians are to be seen doing good works, they must not do good works simply to be seen. 28 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,120 It has to do with intention. 29 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,840 Otherwise you have no reward from your father in heaven. 30 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:29,000 The idea is when we do righteous deeds for the attention and applause of men or people, their attention and applause is our reward. 31 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,800 It's much better to receive our reward from God in heaven. 32 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,480 Now there are some who say all that's important is the doing of the good deed. 33 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,480 How is it much less than doing it? 34 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:44,360 Well it is true that in some cases it would be better to do the right thing in the wrong way 35 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:48,440 or out of the wrong motive than to do the wrong thing. 36 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,040 But Jesus's point is clear. 37 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:56,800 God cares about how we do our good works and with what motive we do them. 38 00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:01,880 Jesus begins to deal with three spiritual disciplines, giving, fasting and prayer. 39 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:06,080 Now in verses two and four it says, Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, 40 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:12,640 do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets 41 00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:17,800 that they may have glory for men, assuredly I say to you they have their reward. 42 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:22,960 And when you do a charitable deed, don't let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 43 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,800 that your charitable deed may be done in secret. 44 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:30,320 And your father who sees in secret will himself reward you openly. 45 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,760 Now when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet. 46 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:40,400 It was a custom for some in Jesus's day to draw attention to their giving so they would be known as generous. 47 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,240 Now today people don't sound a judgment when they give to a project, 48 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:48,320 but they still know how to call attention to their giving. 49 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,600 Now these aren't good examples. 50 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:56,720 There aren't good examples in ancient literature of people actually announcing their giving with the sound of a trumpet. 51 00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:01,400 It may be what Jesus had in mind was the gifts given during the feast times, 52 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,240 which were signaled by the blast of a trumpet. 53 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:11,960 Yet the idea of doing charitable giving was deeply established in that time. 54 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,760 Now such performers were rightly called hypocrites. 55 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:19,600 They were actors acting the part of a pious holy people when they're not. 56 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,240 It was not having a standard that makes someone a hypocrite. 57 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:29,920 It is falsely claiming to live by that standard when in fact you do not. 58 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:34,600 Or when you have a double standard that makes only one person a hypocrite. 59 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,240 D.A. Carson said about this in Older Greek, 60 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:46,240 hypocrites was an actor, but by the first century the term came to be used for those who played roles and they saw the world as their stage. 61 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:51,280 And others said these are religious actors still and they draw good houses. 62 00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:53,360 That still happens today. 63 00:04:53,360 --> 00:05:03,160 Jesus tells the one who gives so we can hear the applause of others that he should enjoy the applause because that will be all the reward that they receive. 64 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:09,720 There'll be no reward in heaven for the one who did it for the motive of an earthly reward. 65 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,320 Do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing. 66 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:18,760 Instead, our giving is to be, if it were possible, hidden from ourselves. 67 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:27,320 Though we can't really be ignorant about our own giving, we can deny ourselves and any self-indulgent congratulations. 68 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:35,920 Charles Spurgeon said, keep the things so secret that even you yourself are hardly aware that you are doing anything at all praiseworthy. 69 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:40,480 Let God be present and you'll have enough of an audience. 70 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,120 That your charitable deed may be in secret. 71 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:49,160 If someone finds out that we have given something, do we automatically lose our reward? 72 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,920 Well, the issue isn't really a matter of motive. 73 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:59,200 If we give our own glory, it doesn't matter if no one finds out and we will still have no reward from God. 74 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:08,720 But if we give it for God's glory, it doesn't matter who finds out because our reward will remain because we gave it for the right reason. 75 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,920 Now, our father who sees in secret will reward you openly. 76 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:16,960 Jesus pointed out the great value of doing good deeds for the glory of God. 77 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:25,920 It is much better to receive our return from God who rewards much more generously and much more openly than men do. 78 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:30,800 Adam Clark, a Bible commentator said, God does see in secret. 79 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:38,640 He should remember the eyes of the Lord upon us and that he not only sees the act, but also every motive that led to it. 80 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:44,200 Now, we should not miss the strength of the promise that these things done the right way will certainly be rewarded. 81 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,160 We can be sure of that even when it doesn't feel like it. 82 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:58,920 Now, verses five and six, But when you pray, you should not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues on the corners of the streets. 83 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:03,360 That they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. 84 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:14,360 But you, when you pray, go into your room and when you shut the door, pray to your father who's in the secret place and your father who sees in secret will reward you openly. 85 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,080 And when you pray, you should not be like the hypocrites. 86 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,840 Jesus assumed that his disciples would give. 87 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,040 So he told them the right way to give. 88 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,040 He also assumed that his disciples pray. 89 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:32,320 So we showed him the right way to pray that they shouldn't pray in the same manner as the hypocrites. 90 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:42,200 The religious leaders who did it in public for people's recognition and out on the street corners so everyone would see them and talk about how holy and awesome they are. 91 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:47,600 The motive was wrong. They were using prayer as a way to become popular. 92 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:58,240 That is so crazy. God wants us to do it in private so that he can reward not just our motive, but then answer our prayer. 93 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:04,760 Now, these hypocrites prayed not to be heard by God, but to be seen by men. 94 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,640 This is a common fault in public prayer. 95 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:17,200 When people pray to impress or teach others instead of genuinely pouring out their hearts before God, such prayers are actually an insult to God. 96 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:26,000 When we mouth towards God while really trying to impress other people, when we use God merely as a tool to impress others. 97 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:35,760 Now, they have their reward. Again, those praying to be seen of men have their reward, but they should enjoy it in full because that's all they're going to receive. 98 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:40,160 There's no reward in heaven for such prayers. 99 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:47,760 But you, when you pray, go into your room, rather meet with God in your room or your closet. 100 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:53,240 The idea is of a private place where we can impress no one except God. 101 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:58,960 I love to pray in my garage. I go back and forth and pace in that thing all the time. 102 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:06,200 That is, quote, my room that I go into and I talk about God, about my life and everything that I'm facing. 103 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,880 I encourage you to find a place that works for you. 104 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:16,640 Jesus certainly didn't prohibit public prayer, but our prayer should always be directed to God and not towards men. 105 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:24,960 Verses seven and eight. But when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do, for they think that they'll be heard by their many words. 106 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:32,760 Therefore, don't be like them, for your father knows the things that you need before you even ask. 107 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,840 Now, when you pray, don't use vain repetitions. 108 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:46,600 The right kind of prayer doesn't use vain repetitions, which is any and all prayer, which is mostly words and no meaning, all lips and no mind or heart. 109 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:52,200 A certain rabbi said, whoever is long in prayer is heard. 110 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:58,000 Another saying has it, whenever the righteous make their prayer long, their prayer is heard. 111 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,680 We can pray too long, but to the wrong God. 112 00:10:00,680 --> 00:10:05,120 Look at First Kings 18, the prophets of Baal cried out, oh, Baal, answer us. 113 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,560 They were praying to the wrong person. They weren't even praying to God. 114 00:10:08,560 --> 00:10:10,400 They were praying to a false God. 115 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:16,520 Or in Ephesians, great as the Artemis of the Ephesians, for two hours they were praying. 116 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:20,520 God isn't impressed by how long you pray or by how loud you are. 117 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:29,200 He could care less. He cares about your intent and your motive and your sincerity and what you're asking for. 118 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:36,160 Instead, we should follow the Council of Ecclesiastes five, where it says God is in heaven and you're on earth. 119 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,520 Therefore, let your words be few. 120 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:47,840 Charles Spurgeon said, Christian prayers are measured by weight, not by length. 121 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:53,880 Many of the most prevailing prayers have been as short as they were strong. 122 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:55,880 Wow. 123 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,200 It literally means here to keep on babbling. 124 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:04,920 That may have been an accurate sense of ancient Greek word, battleo geo, which literally means babbling. 125 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,840 It has the sense of blah, blah, blah. 126 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:16,040 Your father knows the things that you need before you even ask, so you don't have to go blah, blah, blah to him. 127 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,680 We don't pray to tell God things he didn't know before we told him. 128 00:11:19,680 --> 00:11:25,800 We pray to commune with him and appeal to a loving God who wants to bring us every need, 129 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,760 wants us to bring our every need and worry before him. 130 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:35,480 Now, in the following verses, Jesus begins a memorable explanation of the right way to pray with the words, 131 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,560 in this manner, therefore pray. 132 00:11:37,560 --> 00:11:43,400 Jesus then gave his disciples a model for prayer, prayer marked by a close relationship, 133 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:48,480 reverence, submission, trust and dependence. 134 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:56,680 Now, Luke 11 has much of the same material, and it's reasonable to believe that this was not the only time 135 00:11:56,680 --> 00:12:02,120 that Jesus taught his disciples about praying, probably taught several different times. 136 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:07,560 D.A. Carson says, in contrast with loud ostentation prayer or thoughtless prayer, 137 00:12:07,560 --> 00:12:11,880 Jesus gave his disciples a model, but it's the only model. 138 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,640 This is not how or not what. 139 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,480 This is exactly how we're to pray. 140 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:17,560 Now, here's the model prayer. 141 00:12:17,560 --> 00:12:22,600 He says, Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be your name. 142 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:27,280 Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. 143 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:34,600 Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our debts as we forgive those who debt against us. 144 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:38,920 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. 145 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:44,320 For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. 146 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:45,160 Amen. 147 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:49,320 Now, the right kind of prayer comes to God as a father in heaven. 148 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:58,040 It rightly recognizes whom we pray to, coming with a privileged title that demonstrates a privileged relationship. 149 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:07,880 It was very unusual for the Jews of that day to call God father because it was considered too intimate, too close of a family name. 150 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:14,680 It is true that God is the mighty sovereign of the universe who created, governs and will judge all things. 151 00:13:14,680 --> 00:13:17,200 But he is also to us a father. 152 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,520 He is our father, but he is our father in heaven. 153 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:24,400 Now, when we say in heaven, we remember God's holiness and glory. 154 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,800 He is our father, but our father in heaven. 155 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,760 Now, this is a prayer focused on community. 156 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,120 Jesus said, Our Father and not my father. 157 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,280 The whole prayer is social. 158 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,240 The singular pronoun is absent. 159 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:44,520 We enter into the presence of the father and then pray as one in a great family. 160 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:51,560 Now, there's no evidence of anyone before Jesus using this term to address God. 161 00:13:51,560 --> 00:13:56,720 Hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. 162 00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:00,680 The right kind of prayer has a passion for God's glory. 163 00:14:00,680 --> 00:14:05,080 His name, His kingdom have the top priority. 164 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:10,240 Everyone wants to guard their name and their reputation and their followers. 165 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:16,240 But we must resist the tendency to protect and promote ourselves first and instead promote 166 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,960 God and His name and His kingdom. 167 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:23,080 Jesus wanted us to pray with the desire that the will of God be done on earth as it is 168 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:24,160 in heaven. 169 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,960 In heaven, there's no disobedience, no obstacles to God's will. 170 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:32,320 On earth, there is disobedience and at least apparent obstacles to His will. 171 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:38,160 The citizens of Jesus' kingdom will want to see His will be done on earth as freely as 172 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:39,160 it's done in heaven. 173 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:43,840 Now, a man could say, your will be done in different ways and moods. 174 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,360 He may say it with fatalism and resentment. 175 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,200 You do your will and there's nothing I can do about it anyway. 176 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,240 Your will wins, but I don't like it. 177 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,200 Or he might say it with a perfect heart of love and trust. 178 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,320 Do your will because I know it's the best. 179 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:02,360 Change me where I don't understand or accept your will. 180 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:06,760 One might rightly wonder why God wants us to pray that His will would be done as if 181 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:10,120 we were not able to, as if He were not able to accomplish it Himself. 182 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:15,120 Well, God's more than able to do His will without our prayer or cooperation, yet He 183 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:22,840 invites us to participate our prayers, our heart, our actions on seeing His will done 184 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:23,840 on earth. 185 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,440 God gets the glory and we get the joy. 186 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:31,800 Now, give us to stay our daily bread and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors and 187 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:36,640 do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. 188 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:40,960 The right kind of prayer will freely bring its own needs to God. 189 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:48,360 Now, this will include needs for daily provision, forgiveness, strength in the face of temptation. 190 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:55,240 Now, when Jesus spoke of bread, He meant real bread as in the sense of daily provisions, 191 00:15:55,240 --> 00:16:00,840 like God provide food for my family and for me to eat and live like food and water and 192 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:05,320 housing, the basic essential needs of man. 193 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:10,160 Well, some people thought that bread referred to communion or the Lord's Supper. 194 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:15,160 Some have thought it referred to Jesus Himself as the bread of life. 195 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:20,360 Others have thought it speaks of the Word of God as our daily bread. 196 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:26,080 Calvin rightly said of these interpretations that they fail to see God's interest in everyday 197 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:27,080 things. 198 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,240 He said, this is absurd. 199 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:34,840 God does care about everyday things and we should pray about it. 200 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:40,000 So sin is represented here under the notion of a debt as our sins are many. 201 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:41,960 They are called here debts. 202 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:46,720 God made that He might live to His glory and gave Him a law to walk by. 203 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:53,120 And if He does any, God contracts a debt with divine justice. 204 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:58,680 You see, temptation literally means a test, not always a solicitation to do evil. 205 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:03,840 God has promised to keep us from all testing that is greater than what we can handle, according 206 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,200 to Corinthians 10. 207 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:11,480 Now while God doesn't tempt men to do evil, He does allow His children to pass through 208 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,040 periods of testing. 209 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:19,200 But disciples are aware of their weaknesses and we shouldn't desire not to be tested. 210 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:27,240 We should pray to be spared the exposure to situations where we're vulnerable to temptation. 211 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:33,320 Now if we truly pray, lead us not into temptation, it will be lived out in several ways. 212 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:37,120 That will mean that we never boast in our own strength. 213 00:17:37,120 --> 00:17:41,280 It will mean that we never desire trials. 214 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,360 It would mean that we never go into temptation. 215 00:17:44,360 --> 00:17:48,880 It would mean that we never lead others into temptation. 216 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:54,080 For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. 217 00:17:54,080 --> 00:18:01,600 The right kind of prayer praises God and credits to Him the kingdom and the power and the glory. 218 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:09,000 Now there is some dispute as to whether this doxology or the end of this is for us today 219 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,480 and of course it is. 220 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:19,680 God wants us to pray, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. 221 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:25,160 I want to encourage you to pray this in your life and make it a part of you pray. 222 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:31,200 There's not a week that goes by that I don't pray the Lord's prayer in my life. 223 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:38,880 It's that powerful and it's that effective and it brings that much clarity into our hearts 224 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,360 and into our minds and into our souls. 225 00:18:42,360 --> 00:18:47,840 Now this wraps up our time together looking at the first part of Matthew chapter 6. 226 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,920 Now tomorrow we're going to look at the second part and every time I finish one of my talks 227 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,000 I love to have a chance to pray with you. 228 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:56,800 Maybe you've never prayed before. 229 00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,960 Prayer is just talking to God, it's asking for His help. 230 00:18:59,960 --> 00:19:03,680 Sometimes we have things we need to change, sometimes we have things we need to do differently 231 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,800 because God's word will speak to us. 232 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:07,760 Why don't we just pray together right now? 233 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:11,800 Why don't we just say, hey God, would you help me today? 234 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:13,520 Would you help me to follow you? 235 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,600 Would you help me to live for you? 236 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,720 Would you help me to quit doing those things that I need to? 237 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,520 Would you help me to be full of your Holy Spirit? 238 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,440 I ask you for these things. 239 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,440 Have a beautiful day. 240 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:26,680 Thank you for your time. 241 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,120 We would love to partner with you. 242 00:19:29,120 --> 00:19:32,840 Prayer is a global problem, it's going to take as many partners as we can to help solve 243 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:33,840 this problem. 244 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:34,840 We'd love for you to partner with us. 245 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:39,840
