And this too shall pass
rk12201960:
Something to think about. In Matthew 6:10 it reads your Kingdom come,Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven, When I looked up earth in strongs after the solid parts of the earth and such it also said material that which man was made or something to that matter, so if we read earth as a chunk of land are we missing out on the true meaning? Could earth relate to mankind? Your will be done on man as in spirit?
Could this be a parable? His will be done on(with) man as it is in the spirit realm?
I guess what I'm saying is that Gods will is being done right now back then and later on. Have faith that our Father knows us better than we know us and just give your attention to what is being shown to us and try to learn from that. No matter how much we will ask even beg, Gods will is the only sure thing about us that we can count on.
I'm not much in the way of looking things up but any help or comments would help me and others out very much.
Thanks
Randy

You all have said it well. And life is like a fine wine; with time it is aged to perfection. ;)

Mongoose and Randy,
Thank you for responding to this topic. It is helping. I am sorry that I cannot write much more but I get on the forum a whole lot less than I did. God bless you both and thanks for sharing some of your wisdom with me.
Sincerely,
Anne C. McGuire

The best prayer comes when you're meditating on the Word. Romans 8:26 says - Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
Remember, you are a spirit, that possesses a soul, and lives in a body. Jesus said in John 4:24 - God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. Prayer is a form of worship, and worship is a form of prayer. But it must be done in the spirit to count. Mark 12:38-40 - Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces, And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts: Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation becauseJohn 6:63 says - It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
Don't meditate on problems, faults, and/or shortcomings or trying to create an impressive prayer, but rather, memorize and meditate on THE WORD!!!
SINCERELY DEAR SISTER IN HIS LOVE,
Bradford

Hi Bradigans,
Your statement,
--- Quote ---Remember, you are a spirit, that possesses a soul, and lives in a body.
--- End quote ---
I don't think you can say we are a spirit, we are a living being made up of body and spirit to make a living soul.
The scripture you used, John 4:24, in most translations have "God is Spirit," leaving out the 'a.'
Here is an email of Ray that explains this point.

Dear John:
Yes, there is a spirit in man (AND ALL ANIMALS). Nothing can live without "spirit." Spirit IS life (Ecc. 8:8; Ecc. 12:7; Luke 23:46; I Cor. 2:11; etc.). There is no consciousness in our spirit alone. There is only consciousness (soul) when man's spirit is combined with a body. God retains our spirit until resurrection when He puts our spirit into a new body and we once again become conscious or receive back the quality of "soul." We are said to have new "spiritual" bodies, not that we are made "spirits."
God be with you,
Ray
