No, I don't have a clue who I am is a need to put the student driver side above the studio where glad you're with us and we are going to talk a little bit about prayer this week but before we do that Robby. We got a few events coming up the week until we have an entrenchment is that it's absolutely F REE freight as long as your fasting free another asking that you make a donation from Phobos free if you know obviously want to come. It's a weekend adventure. We haven't done that before. Starts out on a Friday evening and all day Saturday in Reidsville and again you go to mass concern about RJ. It starts on September 30. If I'm not mistaken in some October 1 and after that weekend before Thanksgiving. Jim was happening weekend before Thanksgiving, who believe that would be her boot camp. It would and that's the long version of the entrenchment you get four days to and it's only hundred $99 and worth oh I'm Tanya. It's a life-changing hundred $99 point absolutely the well we haven't had anybody to my knowledge it's ever asked for their money back. Probably thought about it on display at which you came back so I did go back there anyway if your receipts the topic this week is of the loving God, ladle my heart talk about prayer and more specifically the intimacy of prayer and and how that affects our hearts and and and how it adversely in an positively because our perception of who we are is, where of goal with this and so were going to jump right in and Samuel to set up your clip from the we never really did what so very much, but I thought this portion of this episode years ago directly as being very funny and very true a lot away but what happened to Doug and Carrie have been to church that morning and they learned about prayer and learning how to use or not use prayer that the areas been praying for Eric to sell the scrappy things but parallel at my price range. Self you know you can't pray for shoes because this was the pray for petty things well at church to pray for my that's what you are praying for you obviously have no idea what you doing here an extra hundred bucks weeks as I explain this to you. Let's pretend I'm God will G I'd love to end world hunger, but I'm too busy looking for cheap shoes for Gary. I believe that you can even pray for the important things in some important things got pretty bright guy that works pray I get kneeling by the bed like a five-year-old.

Pray what you want more on what is my problem is you using God as your own personal G you think that if you want to pair shoes.

What you do is pray for them in both their new shoes lets out the way it works okay. Once again, let's pretend I'm God the worst guy never heard you done done friends over for bed a few more things I want to pray for, but really, what is there a lipstick out there that you actually don't have this in the background. I will just use my prayers to cancel your ring and it going down correctly so through the way we go about like that when I think about relationship and I think about and when I'm talking to my friend on the phone we talked about the little thing. Time to talk about the big things but we also talked about the little thing I think it's okay to share your heart with God.

They do a very humorous side, but I think God cares about what your heart. About to get those things the way you think you are sure you are with God is never a bad thing, redefine the word prayer. You will look and if so do you good clip. I enjoyed them soon as I heard that clip thought of decades ago. This was in Charlotte when independence Boulevard have a lot of traffic lights.

We were driving down the road ride with my father. I said man you made every single lives a lot.

Pray for God, mimic what he said let's but that's a trivial thing to be praying for my father came back with some real wise words he said and I say that's a real small thing to take to God. He said for God. Everything is a small thing that solved it is very good on you while you got the mic there while we set up your clip.

Alrighty, this is a well this is for me the number one war movie because that's very different but it shows real bravery. It's about Desmond Dawes attacks all ridge and he is a conscientious objector. He's up with guys that are Tron.

The hold a plot of land that the Japanese are attacking viciously and at the end of the battle first battle here. He's the only one left up there. That is 100 and he is talking to God about it will kick it off their host is Bruce is the only medic left the entire battalion so to be casualties and sort of hard to hear in this clip, when he is asking God to speak to. It's a human voice that he hears somebody calling out for a medic and he is the only medic clear and ultimately through his prayers through his bravery and his dedication and his reliance on God and these prayers what she's doing constantly the Tommies up there. He saves probably at least 75 men from being killed by the Japanese spikes at overnight.

He was the only one up on the plateau that wasn't 100 and ultimately was but it is a amazing example of following God by being that close relationship in a very difficult situation and less you know, the heart of the topic Jim is that you is a great movie and that the intimacy that come into a middle child and not a bigger. I think I've of pray to the beggar.

Lots of times in my life that an outsider looking Ian just open somebody's got my attention up there and but ultimately God is inviting us to his throne of grace and nieces come boldly as a child and that that changes my perspective old old. How I pray and when operating and ultimately that's I think that's the goal boldly as his child, as we are beloved sons and daughters of the creator of the universe and he wants nothing more than the spend time with this as I was looking at the topic this morning and then think the phrase came to me, is that instead of trying to earn his favor. I need to yearn for his presence so that's the kind of where we were trying to go here. I think you by got a thing that about a minute before the break. Well, one in for my wife Erica C. And I've now I forget who she was quoting which is more important prayer or Bible study and that was asked of somebody that was wise and their response was, which is more important. Breathing in her breathing out and that hit pretty hard to see well back after the break while you take a little break.

Go no masculine journey.org and register for the entrenchment and jigs out and you got five more seconds, say will seal the other side. One of the things it's been a true joy to me is having my sons are with hands and watching them get an understanding that I wish I would have in our area several years and I'm still probably learning a little bit as we go.

Watching them getting old and a man in understanding what is and how to stay away and receive one journey. One of my favorite things about boot camp. Well, the favorite thing about campus every time I know I'm not seeing anyone that has encounter God knows, generally speaking, it's nothing we expect the same register today. Masculine journey.OR bring me some praying me. That was Ricky Skaggs in somebodies. And in the soul been so much to me because my dear friend Jeff Burrow who lives down in Flint heal North Carolina. He used to sing that so just it just makes something in my heart.

And if you don't lie Ricky Skaggs, you probably need prayer. I'm just on not that I'm a fan at all but anyway the we are talking about prayer and were throwing some clips around in and throw in some ideas around and so I will set my clip. But while I've got the my course on post and set up got the mic regardless of what is not passing back and forth or simply Rodney and GM like a tennis match, but up. Anyway the cliff is from chosen and is a scene where Jesus is come back from the Roman soldiers to communities come back and he went to pray and evidently the disciples were little upset because he didn't check in with them first. You can you imagine you are a Jesus and you hear the good thing but only with a lead into is there inquiring about his prayer time at which praying to date the line that we all know so well of the Gospels, Lord, teach us to pray and he goes into that in the prayers are so what you doing out. John is a big event.

Therefore, my respect though the situate back first.

My Roman soldiers with weapons we would all worried sick I would be back planning on going regardless of what's happening good or bad things are only going to shut down when you're fearful you going to do when I normally, initially, still figuring this out and that I said the baptizer gave his followers at their. In addition to the daily traditional business. Perhaps you can do the same. Yes like to learn more about what you're saying when you're out. That'll now now you're behaving like students.

This is what I like to see getting the mind and the hot twice so just predicated when we pray we want to be sure the first on with launching out saying our father in heaven, your name got our own challenging and should check in with you. Was Jesus. Maybe think about a lot of different things, but maybe reminisce a little bit and think about had I ever had anybody personally teach me to pray and I don't know that I had think of this, learned in church and probably learned some stuff you probably didn't need to learn to be honest you know some people praying they say Lord 500 times and you know those kind of things but but but I wondered that you know about new us around a circle or really any given circle is in is a buy had somebody teach you to pray, I will say that I had anybody teach many private are some things I believe about the way we ought to pray, I like the kiss principle. Keep it simple stupid and part and in Matthew chapter 6 verse seven it says when you pray, do not babble repetitious lay like the Gentiles because they think that by their many words. They will be heard. You can talk yourself into a big mess and get lost and who do we think we are that were going to impress God, you know, okay oh are we going to say God listen to my vocabulary.

A study hard and I and I want you to be duly impressed with what I have to say that again may pass soon. All we need is a simple simple approach to God. Oftentimes, you know, to me it's like God. You know what I need. I don't need to try to tell you what I need and another thing that I was told by someone that I respect highly. They said you know, pray for God's best. Not for specific outcome outcomes because again he knows and he's the one that's going to make the difference.

Not me by Carol.

I'm glad he understand southern slaying because I use a lot of that he invented it he invented it and I think you know there's different little models that you know you of how to pray. You know, acts and other things that are little acronyms for wage my pray and sometimes it's very helpful for me to think through that to have a have a pattern that most the time for me as I just want to be relaxing really trying to find my own true need or somebody else's need are some because that's what's usually a lot easier for me when I know some else as a problem or trouble. I can pick that up and go to that but I Carol said keeping it simple.

I've seen some people that I just I just admire the way that they can say so much with so few words and then I've also been very very impressed by people that while it was a come along prayer but actually didn't seem long that all wireless and because it was just there's very intentional and things that are talking about are coming from their heart and I
