Prayer 785

The prayer series

Jesus,

The story you teach us is strange –
“the parable of the workers in the vineyard.” (Matthew 20:1-16).

A person working 9 hours and a person working 1 hour are paid the same.
A person bearing the burden of the work and the heat of the day
and a person working only one cool hour about five in the afternoon
are paid the same.

Why?
Why is the kingdom of heaven like that?
Is God fair to everyone? Continue reading Prayer 785

Prayer 784

The prayer series

Jesus,

You say,
“You have heard that it was said to the people long ago,
‘You shall not murder,
and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’
But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister will be subject to judgment.
Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, ‘Raca,’ is answerable to the court.
And anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell. Continue reading Prayer 784

Prayer 782

The prayer series

Jesus,

Working with the young person of generation Z is difficult
because his mind easily wanders
and he often thinks about himself as the best,
a person can do big things well,
but truly even small things, he doesn’t do well.

So I need to talk with him simply and clearly,
depending on his ability to receive information,
at his right time,
so that he can understand and do exactly what I want. Continue reading Prayer 782

Prayer 781

The prayer series

Jesus,

Every time I hear the voice of the mother next door teaching her daughter to spell,
I feel a little discomfort.

The daughter is about 7 years old.
Her mom teaches her how to spell.
Most of the time, the mother is annoyed because her daughter can’t remember how to spell.
I think the little girl is a dyslexic,
a person who has dyslexia, a mental issue causing difficulties in learning. Continue reading Prayer 781

Prayer 779

The prayer series

Jesus,

Our 3m2 garden looks like a small forest.
There are royal poinciana, tamarind, jackfruit…
Big plants and tiny plants,
fruit plants and flowering plants,
bees, butterflies and other small animals.

When it is rain, our plants shout with joy,
and I use pots to catch rainwater.
Raindrops plays with my face, hands and feet.
My mouth drinks both hot tea and cool and fresh raindrops.
The rain makes glad all of us. Continue reading Prayer 779

Prayer 775

The prayer series

Jesus,

I think I need a few more dresses
but I don’t know what styles of dresses I should choose and where to buy them.
However, you know me
and you know the right paths for me.
So you gift me many dresses, shirts and skirts.
They are elegant and fit my personality.

Jesus,
I am fully satisfied with the richest of your foods.
Your right hand upholds me (Psalm 63), I lack nothing (Psalm 23).
You are my God.

Amen.

PTH
