    Hello Marion, Thank you very much for your question. This is indeed a personal matter. My reference was to the instructions to the disciples of our Lord Jesus Christ. He is bringing the Kingdom of His Father when He (Christ) returns. God is building a Family. Christ was answering His disciples in that context ...a united Family in God's Kingdom of Peace forever.

    Hello Marion, Thank you very much for your question. It's a good one. When the disciples asked our Lord Jesus Christ how to pray, His answer included referencing OUR Father. He is the firstborn among many brethren, so clearly He referenced that relationship, and instructed us to do the same. When Christ is recorded as praying without referencing our Father, He has His reasons. His instructions in answer to the disciples is clear however. We do have a personal Savior, and are collectively blessed to come before our Father in individual recognition of God's Plan for His Family growth through His kingdom by Jesus Christ. If you would like more on this subject, please look into our no-cost to literature.

    Hello Jen, An interesting thought for sure. Of course God also appreciates the concept of the symbolism of the prayers He listens to and re-listens to - being "beaten small" as the incense wafting up from inside the temple - (Leviticus 16:12 (NKJV) Then he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from the altar before the LORD, with his hands full of sweet incense beaten fine, and bring it inside the veil.) That incense is the symbol of the prayers of the saints (Revelation 8:3,4). So, considering that we may not know the future lives of our descendents and their very specific needs, it would be difficult if not impossible to beat prayers "small" (meaning fine detail) about them. We may want to consider that God is interested in what we DO know in fine detail that we talk to Him about regularly with HIS attitude concerning His Plan and Way of Life. In other words, what are we involved in that we may cooperate with God in affecting while in this life? That kind of prayer communication is what the Heavenly Host certainly consider worthy of replay.
