The Lesson of Prayer

Adrian Rogers

JUNE 4

“Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.” – Matthew 6:10

Some time ago I was invited to preach in another state, but my schedule was such that I couldn’t arrange it. When they offered to send a private plane, I could do it.

As we flew over Arkansas, the pilot asked me if I wanted to try my hand at flying the plane, and I said, “Yes!”

Of course, he was sitting right next to me. He could fly the plane without me, but I couldn’t fly it without him. He had his hands on his controls all the while, and he allowed me to participate with him.

That’s the way prayer is. God can do it without you, but God enables you to have fellowship with Him and teaches you a dependency upon Him through prayer.

Kneel before Him today. Meditate on 1 Chronicles 16:23-36. Glory in His presence:

23Sing to the LORD, all the earth; Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day. 24 Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples. 25 For the LORD is great and greatly to be praised; He is also to be feared above all gods.  26 For all the gods of the peoples are idols, But the LORD made the heavens.

  1. Oh that’s cool! I can relate to that one. In my flight attendant days I got to fly a DC9. No passengers of course. I love that Pastor Rogers used that illustration. Brings back good memories and it’s so true.

Luke 21:36 "Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man."
