Do We Say the Right Prayers
12th June 2024
10th Week Ordinary Time
Wednesday
1 King 18:20-39
Meditation
The prophets of Baal prayed but their god did not heed them. Indeed, we often make wrong prayers to the wrong gods. We make
gods and pray for them; such gods will not be able to fulfil our needs. We have
to pray to true God and the right way. The example of praying to the true God and the
right prayer model we have in the prayer of Elijah.
Prayer of Elijah: “Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, let it be
known today that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and have
done all these things at your command. Answer me, Lord, answer me,
so these people will know that you, Lord, are God,
and that you are turning their hearts back again.”
Do we pray to the true God and say the right prayers?
