Prayer debate troubling

When I read the articles and experiences of different people, it saddens me. What is the underlying cause of all this upset? Have we forgotten what the Lord’s Prayer is all about? Is it not about talking to the One who made each one of us, our loving God, who knows our every thought, word, and deed, and loves us more than we ever can imagine, even when we do not want to acknowledge that? Or when we hurt or ostracize people because they think different than we would like.

Those who are bullying or being nasty certainly are not representing Him. I know we all have the same rights, and we can get hot under the collar when they are not respected, but this is so much deeper than that.

It is about acknowledging and honouring the God of the universe or not. Let us think deeply on that before we act.
