When Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, the heaven was opened,
When Sally in the PEANUTS comic strip was called on in Sunday School to lead her class in
prayer, she adapted the only prayer she knew: "Now I lay us down to sleep...." Maybe her prayer
was a commentary on her Sunday School class. It is more likely, however, that it is a commentary
on us.
Make prayer one of your top priorities.
(Luke 3:21
NRSV)
As we mover further into this new year, it would be good for us to deal with the subject of prayer.
It was entirely natural for Jesus, immediately following his baptism, to pray. Prayer played a
major
role in his entire ministry. Here he was the very manifestation of God on earth, and yet he felt the
need to be in continuous communication with God. Contrast his example with the practice of
many of us.
Dear Jesus, renew my desire to pray everyday. Amen.
