In this episode, Arnie and Fred begin by discussing praying for protection from evil. We look at a couple of passages where Jesus discusses this subject. Associated with that is being delivered from our enemies. We look at what David and Paul had to say on this. A request for peace should always be a part of our prayers to God. John and Paul address this subject. We note what they have to say. A petition for God's mercy is mentioned by both the Hebrew writer and one of the examples Jesus gave for prayer. We looked at both of those instances. One of the things that Jesus promised was eternal life for His faithful disciples. We note the importance of this in our prayers to our Father in heaven. Another aspect of good prayers is to remember the needs of others and to include them in our petitions. Good leaders are a necessity both in the church and in our civil government and prayers for the same are always justified. We close out this episode by looking at the prayer Abraham's servant offered when looking for a wife for Isaac. God's providence was evident in that situation. A lesson to be learned by us from that. Praying for our children is always an important consideration as well. Take about 30-minutes to listen in on our discussion. Have your Bible handy so you can verify what we are saying.
