Does your prayer kind of sound like this: I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
No, it’s more like this: “Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.”
I was extolling the virtues of my CHURCH... not mySELF.
And sometimes my prayer sounds like this:
“Our father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name
thy kingdom come, thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven
give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those
who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.”
