<\/strong>Prayer: The Best Way to Communicate with God
\nLuke 13: 31-35 <\/strong> <\/p>\n

Grace and Peace to you in the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen. <\/p>\n

When I was in the second year of my seminary education, there was one of the three important interviews to proceed with the steps to become an ordained pastor. This interview was especially important because unless a seminarian passes this interview, he or she is not given an internship opportunity. <\/p>\n

A senior seminarian and I were sitting together on the day before the interview. He gave me good suggestions to prepare for the interview and just before we departed, he said to me, \u201cI will pray for you that all goes well for your interview tomorrow.\u201d <\/p>\n

The next day, the interview went really well. Right after the interview, I happened to meet with the senior student. I said to him, \u201cThank you very much for your prayers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Right after I thanked him, I noticed that his face changed completely…the color of his face became quite pale, and he started apologizing, saying \u201cI am very sorry. Although I said I would pray, I forgot to pray.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since the outcome of the interview was good, I thought that he did not have to apologize at all. Even though I thought there was no need to apologize to me, I think I learned a very important thing by watching him apologize \u2013 the importance of prayer. Although we often use the word \u201cpray\u201d, I do not think many of us truly understand the importance of prayer. <\/p>\n

We sometimes say, \u201cWe give this small prayer to the Lord.\u201d I understand that people use this phrase since people want to pray humbly. But, think about it, is there really any small prayer? Some people might perceive that a prayer by the leader of United States is more important than a small child\u2019s prayer. Remember what Christ said about children. “Let the little children come to me, and do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs.\u201d God created each one of us, whether they are a President or small child, they are equally important to and beloved by God. <\/p>\n

We also say \u201cwe can only pray.\u201d I understand that we sometimes experience that we cannot do anything other than praying. However, sometimes we use this phrase because we think there are other more worthwhile things than just praying…is praying less worthy than doing other things?<\/p>\n

Think about how important \u201cprayer\u201d is for Jesus… Do you know how often Jesus Christ prayed in his ministry? How many times does the word \u201cpray\u201d or \u201cprayer\u201d appear in the four books of the Gospels (i.e. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John)? Actually I counted using the computer…68 times. Do you know who is praying the most? Out of 68 times, in 38 sentences, the subject is Jesus. 21 times the disciples are mentioned. Of those sentences that mention the disciples, some sentences are more imperative rather than indicative, which means, Jesus is urging His disciples to pray. Jesus prays by himself and also recommends followers to pray. <\/p>\n

Also, even though we may not necessary see the word \u201cpray\u201d or \u201cprayer\u201d, we understand that Jesus is praying from the context in the Bible. In the Gospel of John, \u201cpray\u201d appears only twice. However, the entirety of chapter 17 of the Gospel of John is about Jesus\u2019 prayers. <\/p>\n

Not only does Jesus pray alone but he also urges His disciples and all the people in the world to pray. In the Gospel text today, we understand that Jesus wants people in the world to pray. That despite His crucifixion at people\u2019s hands, “Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord.”<\/p>\n

Jesus communicates with His Father, God, so often by praying, because prayer is the best way and the only way to communicate with God. Therefore, Jesus truly hopes that people pray and communicate with God in the way Jesus, himself, frequently does. <\/p>\n

Jesus taught us that His House should be a house of prayer. Yes, the sanctuary is a house of prayer. It is wonderful to pray to God in this sanctuary as well as to read and listen to the Word of God in the Bible. <\/p>\n

However, we can pray not only in the sanctuary, but also pray wherever we are. Likewise, we can read the Bible not only in churches but read it wherever we are. Because God is among us and within us, and our body can be a sanctuary where God can exist according to what St. Paul wrote. <\/p>\n

Furthermore, we may pray to God without using telephones, computers, or any other modern means. While we are doing something else, we are able to take a moment and pray. Even when we are driving, we can pray and talk to God, right? (However, I would warn you, please do not close your eyes if you pray while driving.) <\/p>\n

We can say \u201cOh Lord, thank you for all you\u2019ve given but, please, help during these difficult times,\u201d even while we are in the midst of doing something else, like washing dishes. Although I understand that sometimes we should stop doing something in order to pray more mindfully.<\/p>\n

In the beginning of my message, I mentioned about the senior seminarian who forgot to pray for me on the day of my interview. I believed that, instead of his prayer, Jesus was praying for me. This does not mean that it is OK for us to say \u201cI will pray\u201d and \u201cforget later.\u201d However, even though there are times we forget to pray, Jesus is praying for each one of us. \u3000<\/p>\n

My prayer today is that each one of us may become a person who communicates with our Lord even more by practicing prayer since Jesus, himself, prayed very frequently. <\/p>\n
