ATTITUDE IN PRAYER
CAUTION MUST BE TAKEN REGARDING ONE'S ATTITUDE IN
PRAYER!!!
And he spake this parable unto certain which
trusted in themselves that they were righteous,
and despised othersTwo men went up into the
temple to pray the one a Pharisee, and the other
a publican.The Pharisee stood and prayed thus
with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as
other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers,
or even as this publican. I fast twice in the
week, I give tithes of all that I possess.And the
publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so
much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his
breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.I
tell you, this man went down to his house
justified rather than the other for every one
that exalteth himself shall be abased and he
that humbleth himself shall be exalted. Luke
189-14
