THE ULTIMATE PRAYER

Something Wonderful To Look Forward To!

What is your concept of prayer? Here are some answers that you might give:

1. Talking to God as to a friend.

2. A petition to a higher power.

3. Saying grace at meals and ‘forgive me for my sins and bless everyone’, at bedtime.

4. Opening my heart to God and putting everything in His hands.

5. Praise and thanksgiving.

6. Constant communication every waking hour, and special seasons of talking to God on bended knee.

Do you remember what your last prayer was like? How often you pray, and what the main subject was about?  Many Christian women have experienced an active prayer life, a communication in thought or spoken word to God sometimes alone or with friends.

When describing this prayer life they tell of the comfort and strength and power that has come into their life. One dear woman shared with me that each morning when she goes outside to her patio to pray she feels the angels close to her. And I am sure she does, for her life reflects the love of Jesus.

Maybe you have had this kind of experience. Maybe you have some stories of how God has abundantly answered your prayers.

Can you imagine then the ultimate prayer? Someday Jesus will return and we will go to live with him for eternity. Think how it will be when you pray your first prayer, face to face with Jesus! OH GLORY! To meet our dear Friend whom we have often talked to in prayer, face to face! I can only image, think about it. Imagine how it will be.

1Corinthians 13:12

“For now we see through a glass,

darkly; but then face to face:

now I know in part;

but then shall I know

even as I am known”.

Revelation 22:4

“And they shall see his face;

and his name shall be

in their foreheads.”

Face To Face With Christ My Savior

1
Face to face with Christ my Savior,
Face to face, what will it be,
When with rapture I behold Him,
Jesus Christ, who died for me?

Refrain
Face to face shall I behold Him,
Far beyond the starry sky;
Face to face in all His glory
I shall see Him by and by!

2
Only faintly now I see Him,
With the darkening veil between,
But a blessed day is coming,
When His glory shall be seen.

3
What rejoicing in His presence,
When are banished grief and pain;
When the crooked ways are straightened,
And the dark things shall be plain!

4
Face to face! oh, blissful moment!
Face to face to see and know;
Face to face with my Redeemer,
Jesus Christ, who loves me so.
