Friend of this blog and a dear sister in Christ, Susanne Schuberth, needs our prayers. She is not doing very well.

Please remember Susanne, and ask those around you to pray that the Lord will take care of her and give to her whatever it is that she needs.

Thank you.

Luther on ‘Prayer’ by David P. Scaer

 

 Luther’s view of prayer.Knock, Knock...... by Miguel & Vicky

 

 Luther-on-Prayer by David P. Scaer          

 Concordia-Theological-Seminary

I am finding this very helpful as it explains Luther’s view of prayer, in light of Holy Scripture, and the theology of the cross.

I hope you too will find something in it that is helpful to you in your prayer life.

Anfechtungen, or ‘the dark night of the soul’, is constantly referred to in the piece.

Anyone have some other ways to describe ‘Anfechtungen’?

 

‘Luther Speaks..again’

 ”We should pray with few words but with deep, meaningful thoughts. The fewer the words, the better the prayer. The more the words, the worse the prayer. Few words and deep meaning are Christian. Many words and little meaning are pagan.” 

                           -  Martin Luther
Oh Father, we just want to, and we just need to, and we just ought to, and we …, and we…., and we….just ought to remember you once in awhile. 
     
                    Shut up and pray.
