It's 2:05 a.m. and I just heard the GoDaddy spot that Podshow tagged at the beginning of my show. I've told them that the language is not suitable for the show, and that I want it removed.

If you received a copy of the podcast that did not have the opening and ending tags on the show, it's because I uploaded a copy to my servers after hearing the one from podshow. Until I get approval on the tags, this is where the show will come from.

If you got the podshow version, please know that I did not know that these were going to be added, and please accept my apologies.

Now, for the show notes...

Scriptures

Luke 22:39 through Luke 22:40 (NIV)

39Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and his disciples followed him. 40On reaching the place, he said to them, ?Pray that you will not fall into temptation.?

Luke 22:45 through Luke 22:46 (NIV)

45When he rose from prayer and went back to the disciples, he found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow. 46?Why are you sleeping?? he asked them. ?Get up and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.?

Luke 11:5 through Luke 11:9 (TMNT)

Then he said, ?Imagine what would happen if you went to a friend in the middle of the night and said, ?Friend, lend me three loaves of bread. An old friend traveling through just showed up, and I don?t have a thing on hand.?

?The friend answers from his bed, ?Don?t bother me. The door?s locked; my children are all down for the night; I can?t get up to give you anything.? ?But let me tell you, even if he won?t get up because he?s a friend, if you stand your ground, knocking and waking all the neighbors, he?ll finally get up and get you whatever you need. ?Here?s what I?m saying: Ask and you?ll get; Seek and you?ll find; Knock and the door will open.

Luke 22:42 (NIV)

42?Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.?

Luke 22:44 through Luke 22:45 (NIV)

44And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.

45When he rose from prayer and went back to the disciples, he found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow.

Host Steve Webb continues the discussion of prayer. Bottom line: God really wants a loving line of communication with you! Listen for ideas on how that can take place.

Music

Matthew Ebel sings "Rain" This song is available for sale at the Podsafe Music Network

Jerimae Yoder sang his brand new song "I Need You" from his upcoming CD.

Background music is from Brian Turner with "Change of Autumn"

Scriptures

Matt. 6:6 - 14 (TMNT)

"Here's what I want you to do: Find a quiet, secluded place so you won't be tempted to role-play before God. Just be there as simply and honestly as you can manage. The focus will shift from you to God, and you will begin to sense his grace.

"The world is full of so-called prayer warriors who are prayer-ignorant. They're full of formulas and programs and advice, peddling techniques for getting what you want from God. Don't fall for that nonsense. This is your Father you are dealing with, and he knows better than you what you need. With a God like this loving you, you can pray very simply. Like this:

'Our Father in heaven,

Reveal who you are.

Set the world right;

Do what's best?

as above, so below.

Keep us alive with three square meals.

Keep us forgiven with you and forgiving others.

Keep us safe from ourselves and the Devil.

You're in charge!

You can do anything you want!

You're ablaze in beauty!

Yes. Yes. Yes.'

"In prayer there is a connection between what God does and what you do. You can't get forgiveness from God, for instance, without also forgiving others. If you refuse to do your part, you cut yourself off from God's part.

Philipians 4:6 - 4:7 (NIV)

6Do not be anxious about anything, (so much for having fear about approaching God.)(Or, in other words, be confident.) but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Scriptures

Rom. 5:1-10 (NIV)

1Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. 3Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.

6You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. 7Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. 8But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

9Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God?s wrath through him! 10For if, when we were God?s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!
