“Daily Bread” Prayers Get Results! (Part 3 of 3)

Earlier this month in his keynote address at the National Prayer Breakfast President Biden reminisced about the final words of his older son, Beau Biden, on his deathbed in 2015: “Dad, promise me — promise me, Dad, you’re going to stay involved.”??

He incorporated his promise to Beau into his daily prayers. His hard work and answered prayers resulted in his election as the 46th U.S. President.

Biden’s actions were modeled after Jesus’ counsel to his disciples, “Give us this day our daily bread” Luke 11:3.?

Prayer became Biden’s daily bread.

Over the last two weeks, we discussed how prayer is not only needed but should be practiced as our “daily bread.” Prayer should be our “national breakfast.”?

Branded as the day’s most important meal breakfast breaks our overnight fast, restores energy levels, and jump-starts alertness for getting results.?

Prayer as our daily bread brings results. One of Christianity’s central historical figures gave us the best example of effective daily prayer.

Protestant reformer Martin Luther once said: “I have so much to do today that I'm going to need to spend at least three hours in prayer in order to be able to get it all done.”

Can you imagine if you and I like Martin Luther were to spend three hours each day in prayer - that is, approximately 11 and one-half minutes each hour of your 16-hour waking hours??

If and when we attempt it, then you and I would become unstoppable, emptied of self, and totally surrendered to God’s will and his ways for our lives.

In My Utmost for His Highest, Oswald Chambers wrote: “If you will give God your right to yourself, He will make a holy experiment out of you - and His experiments always succeed.”?

Game on, count me in! If you and I are serious about getting successful results, then let’s eat Martin Luther’s “daily bread.”
