Domingo 28 de agosto
Padre nuestro que estás en los cielos, santificado sea tu nombre. Venga tu reino. Efectúese tu voluntad, como en el cielo, también sobre la tierra (Mat. 6:9, 10).
Nuestras oraciones revelan cuáles son nuestros intereses, deseos y motivaciones. Jehová sabe qué clase de personas somos. Proverbios 17:3 dice: “El vaso de refinación es para la plata y el horno para el oro, pero Jehová es el examinador de los corazones”. Así es, él ve lo que hay en nuestro interior (1 Sam. 16:7). Sabe lo que realmente pensamos de los hermanos, las reuniones y la predicación. Y conoce lo que pensamos de los hermanos ungidos de Cristo (Mat. 25:40). Él sabe si de verdad queremos recibir lo que le estamos solicitando o si se lo pedimos solo por costumbre, repitiendo vez tras vez las mismas palabras. Jesús dijo: “Al orar, no digas las mismas cosas repetidas veces, así como la gente de las naciones, porque ellos se imaginan [equivocadamente] que por su uso de muchas palabras se harán oír” (Mat. 6:7).
Sunday, August 28
Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified. Let your kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also upon earth.—Matt. 6:9, 10.
Our prayers to God reveal our motives, interests, and desires. Jehovah knows what we are inside. Says Proverbs 17:3: “The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, but Jehovah is the examiner of hearts.” God sees what is in our heart. (1 Sam. 16:7) He knows how we feel about our meetings, our ministry, and our spiritual brothers and sisters. Jehovah is aware of what we think of Christ’s “brothers.” (Matt. 25:40) He knows whether we really desire what we pray for or we are merely repeating a set of words. “When praying,” said Jesus, “do not say the same things over and over again, just as the people of the nations do, for they [wrongly] imagine they will get a hearing for their use of many words.”—Matt. 6:7.
Examining the Bible Scriptures Daily, Such instructions gave Jesus ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ so that he would ‘know how to answer the tired one with a word.’ (Isa. 30:20; 50:4; Matt. 11:28-30) Being awakened to timely counsel from the Word of God each morning will not only help you to cope with your own problems but also equip you with ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ to help others.”
