1 | Looking for the verse on simple prayer! | Luke 18:13 | strider651 | 79469 | ||
Looking for the verse on simple prayer! I remember hearing of a story in the New Testament. Jesus -I'm not sure it was Jesus- was in the Temple, and a man got up in front and gave a long, flowery prayer obviously intended to show off. Then in the back a man -boy?- cried out something simple such as "God help me for I'm a sinner" or something like that. Jesus pointed at the man in back and stated God surely heard that man's prayer because it was sincere and sent directly to God. I've searched for a couple hours now and can't find the verse. Can anyone help me? TIA! Yours in Christ, Ken |

Greetings Ken! I think that you are looking for Luke 18:9-14: "9 To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everybody else, Jesus told this parable: 10 'Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee stood up and prayed about himself: 'God, I thank you that I am not like other men - robbers, evildoers, adulterers - or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.' 13 'But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, 'God, have mercy on me, a sinner.' 14 'I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.' " Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
