Matthew 6:5-15

Posted in Unto the Lord

I grasp…               

Dawn breaking, another cloudy day.

Gray morning

Early

In bed, thoughts swirl – a feeling of revelation, and then, loss…

Thoughts flutter away. I try to grab them.

Thoughts swirl. Clouds break apart.

Verses resound in my mind…

“When you pray…”

Hypocrites

Synagogues

Standing in the street to be seen by men.

Confusion. A cloudy day.

How does this fit Lord?

Someone said, “Heart attitudes…” I think, “Attitudes of the heart.”

Wives. Women. Husbands. Families. Attitudes?

Prayer

More verses. “But when you pray, go into your room and close the door.”

Lord…? Matthew 6:6. Verses resound…But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

I grasp. A real closet? Praying on the streets?

Thoughts swirl and race away.

Clouds race across the sky. Gray morning. Dawn breaking.

Help my understanding!

Is my table enough? Is what I do enough? Is it wrong?

My family sees…now the world sees…am I standing on the street corner babbling?

Forgive…

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your Name…

Confusion. Clouds swirl. Thoughts flutter.

Pray in the secret…lifting him up to God…clouds breaking…

Don’t stand on the street corner…our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Pray for him but don’t babble to your friends.

Husbands, wives…love one another…verses resound…clouds race across the sky…gray morning…if you forgive your husband when he sins (is less than perfect) against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. Love.

Dawn breaking, another cloudy day, gray morning. Early. Revelation. Reflecting on Matthew 6.

God hears…help my understanding.

blessings,

dani

“For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.” (Matthew 6:14)
