Jeremiah 33:3; Ephesians 2:11-21; Luke 18:9-14
What an example we're given by a "sinner" in Luke 18:9-14. This is the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector and their different approaches to praying. The Pharisee is...well what we'd expect to see from a Pharisee. Suffice it to say, he doesn't provide us with a good example. But then we get to the tax collector. Now we're talking! This is most certainly an example I want to follow.
So what did this parable show you about how to pray? What about the attitude you bring to pray? Was there anything from the tax collector's example that you want to put into practice? Tami W.
The tax collector demonstrated brokenness...That's something that we could all use more of. God can use brokenness, but someone going around acting like their perfect is of no use to Him!
