06_The Model Prayer

When I kneel in prayer, I come as one who reverences God, and as I am praying I pray in such a way as I reverence God, and when I get up and I leave my closet from prayer and I go back out into the world I live as if I am in the presence of God that's the point of prayer. I dedicate myself to accomplishing that. The idea of praying for something and then not doing anything about it is ridiculous. In this lesson we will learn that "give us this day our daily bread" does not mean we are to pray and do nothing but wait. Does what God says about working not apply? "Let him that stole still no longer but rather let him labor with his hands; a man will not work should he eat." Can I pray, "God give us this day our daily bread" and then I sit down, spread my arms, and open my mouth waiting for manna from heaven?
