Thank you, AG, for your reminder of the perfection of the Lord’s Prayer. Your commentary on it is an excellent reflection: “I find that everything I need to lay before Him fits perfectly within that structure, in the proper priority - e.g. Thy will be done. Likewise, He is our daily bread (John 6:48, He is the bread of life and man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God - Matt 4:4).”

Since I’m talking a dimension about which I haven’t even the knowledge of a child, I would be cautious with my view that messengers of God are with us. But, it is clear: We “entertain angels...unaware...”

So, for my little grandson, who has an angel who sees the face of God, when I’m in his hospital room and I were to say, “If you’re here and listening at this moment, then please pray with me...”, I am only acting on what I believe is a spiritual reality due to what I read in the Bible. And I would consider it no different than asking you to pray with me. I do think the Lord hears my prayer, and that He is all I need. Nonetheless, I would ask YOU to pray with me, and I wouldn’t consider it to be a sign of lack of faith.

Thank you so very much for your encouragements, dear brother in Christ!

Well and truly said!

And I do join with you in your prayers, dear brother in Christ!

And that is according to God's will for us:

Pray without ceasing. - I Th 5:17

I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, - Phm 1:4

I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. - I Timothy 2:8

God's Name is I AM.
