It's all there! Everything we need to know about communicating with God, in the prayer of Jesus. It is the perfect prayer. That being said, it is also tragic to think that, in some circles, the Lord's prayer has been reduced to vain repetition, while in others it has been all but forgotten. While the prayer of Jesus is not a prayer mantra, it is a prayer manner. As such, it has been eloquently described as the most majestic of all model prayers:


It is a model prayer and, as such, commends itself to the most superficial glance- approves itself at once to the conscience of man. It is beautiful and symmetrical, like the most finished work of art. The words are plain and unadorned, yet majestic; and so transparent and appropriate that, once fixed in the memory, no other expressions ever mix themselves up with them; the thought of substituting other words never enters the mind. Grave and solemn are the petitions, yet the serenity and tranquil confidence, the peace and joy which they breath, prove attractive to the heart. The prayer is short, that it may be quickly learned , easily remembered, and frequently used; but it contains all things pertaining to life and godliness ( Philip Ryken, When You Pray ,9).


Are you ready? Let's begin!


Our Father in Heaven

To the disciples, the opening words of the Prayer of Jesus must have been nothing short of scandalous. Of all the things they had ever learned about prayer, this was certainly not one of them. The name of God was so sacred to the Jewish people that they were not even permitted to say the name of God aloud, let alone refer to Him as "our Father." Yet that is precisely how Jesus taught His disciples to pray.

There was however, a catch. As John explains, only those who received Jesus and believed on His name had the right to refer to God as "our Father (Jn. 1:12). In fact, Jesus made it clear that there are only two kinds of people in the world: those who should refer to Satan as "our father" and those who may refer to God as "our Father" (Jn. 8:44-47). There are no other options.

In one sense, Jesus is the only one who could legitimately address God as Father, for He is the unique Son of God and has been so throughout eternity (Jn. 1:2). However, as Paul explains in Romans 8, those who are lead by the Spirit of God are no longer illegitimate children. Instead, they, too, are sons and daughters by adoption through faith in Jesus. Thus, they can legitimately refer to God as "our Father."

Jesus continues the pattern by teaching his disciples to qualify the phrase "our Father" with the words, in heaven." In doing so He is teaching us that God transcends time and space. We can address Him with intimacy but never with impudence. He is the sovereign Creator, and we are but sinful creatures. Addressing God as "our Father" makes us mindful of our place, in relationship to God. Thus, adding the phrase,"in heaven" reminds us of the reverence due to his name.


Hallowed be your Name


The initial request of the prayer of Jesus is that God's name be made holy. To pray "hallowed be your name" is to put the emphasis on God first, exactly where it belongs. In other words, our daily lives should radiate a far greater commitment to God's nature and holiness than to our needs. To pray "hallowed be your name" is to pray that God be given the unique reverence (respect) that His holiness demands. That God's Word be preached without corruption; that our churches be led by faithful pastors and preserved from false prophets, that we be kept from language that profanes God's name; that our lives remain holy; and that we cease from seeking honor for ourselves and seek instead that God's name be glorified.

And 'Most Everything's Been Done Very Poorly

Image address:

Its commonly perceived by almost all journalists that it (AAP) would further add to the erosion of the Congress and help the bjp.
But I hold that its not that way. My logic is simple. If one carefully analyse the situation, an entirely different picture emerges.
Actually congress has its effect in the rural areas where AAP has hardly any say. AAP has its appeal among the urban population.
And so it can be concluded that AAP would damage the prospects of bjp than that of the Congress.
Well, let's wait and watch.

I know... I am a disaster... But an ultra cute, one... Jajajajajajajaja...

Have you been in a solemn ceremony or circumstance and you just have this terrible urge to laugh?...

I have... And I swear, I start thinking of the most horrible and sad things, but most of the time, it just doesn´t work... Jajajajajajajajja...

My Mom was the kind of person that would be sitting with me and would say: "What if an orangutan just came here and sat on your lap?"... "What would you do?"...

Maybe I just inherited all that crazyness... Jajajajajajajaja...

If you and I were attending any kind of ceremony... Yes, those that are very boring and seem to last forever, chances are I would be the one making a terribly funny comment in a whisper or the one that just has the hardest time trying not to laugh...

Have this happened to you?... I sooo want to read what you have to say!...

Years ago I blogged about patenting a device that when pointed at a vehicle and pressing a button it would send a burst of energy knocking out the computer control of the vehicle.

My state of mind at the time was to fry the control making the car (truck, etc.) useless and the person would have buy a new computer chip.

Computer chips are very expensive and in most cases very difficult to replace when basically, all I want to achieve is a simple 'don't cut me off' approach... maybe a more sophisticated jamming device would be suited for this purpose.

When would I use it?
Lots of places. Tailgaters for example. No matter how fast you drive, which lane you use, there are some people who will actually change lanes to follow you and stay 2 car lengths at 70 miles per hour.

One click and Zaaaappp... the computer in their car resets causing the motor to shut off! Good bye tailgater...

I should be in the way to the patent attorney's office, instead I'm heading to work.

(NOTE: For those who don't understand humor in a blog... creating, owning or using such a device would probably be in trouble with the law)

People these days , often complaint , that there's not much room left for honesty..

But folks .. I think that's really not the case at all ...

I mean , I agree that , there are too many dishonesty everywhere , but , if you look wisely and carefully with positivity , you will surely find Honesty Within Dishonesty everywhere as well !!!

For example ...

There is a contract killer who commit murder in exchange of money ...
Yes... I know , He is a murderer ..
But...
When he received the money and agreed to the agreement to kill someone , have FAITH , he will Definitely fulfill the agreement !!!

Isn't that HONESTY !!!

There are some kidnappers who have kidnapped your kid ...
And they threatened you that , if you inform the police , they will cut the fingers of your kid..
So next day when they get to know that you have contacted the police , they immediately sent you the amputated fingers of your kid !!! They kept their PROMISE !!!

Isn't that HONESTY !!!!!!

A corrupted officer , asked a huge off the record donation in order to complete a task..
Well.. You have to pay of course ..
But..
He will complete the task at least !!!
You can mark his words that , he is the MAN OF HIS WORDS !!!!

Isn't that HONESTY !!!!!!!

So what's there to be so sad about after all guys !?!?!
CHEERS !!!! Let's just celebrate soooooooo much of HONESTY !!!

* * *

Important Note :

I was very confused about where to put this blog .. In Society or in Comedy section..

But then I thought , What's the difference at all !?
Our SOCIETY is NOTHING BUT A JOKE after all !!!
