OUR AMEN means the AMEN

"Amen" means "So be it--certainly." 

Revelation 7:12 - "Saying, Amen and Amen!!"
 It is the word constantly translated in the Gospels by "verily." It contains the consent of the heart and the response of the life. Amen means that you appropriate each word that is spoken, that your heart says Yes to it and stamps it with the seal of its consent. Let your life say "Amen" to God, "Amen" to Providence, "Amen" to Redemption, "Amen" to  Heaven.

"Our Father" or "Abba Father"

We are often tried and perplexed with the troubles and problems of our lives which make our brains dizzy and our heart sick. But, we must always consider "Our Father"  or "Our Abba Father" which from whom every ray of love in the universe has emanated; and we must rest assured that nothing can be permitted or devised by Him which is not consistent with the gentlest and truest dealings that an earthly father could share out to his child. So shall we be able to say: of course yes we can say  "Amen, Lord."

 Look Up To God for Answers

We must not dwell upon the dark and perplexing questions that flare and boil around us. We must look up to the blue sky of undimmed sunshine, our Father's heart. He must be Love, beyond our deepest, tenderest, highest conceptions of what love is. In His dealings with us, and with all men, love is the essence and law of His nature. In proportion as we humbly believe in the Father, we will be able to say "Yes Lord Yes" which is a true rendering of the Greek word in our version, translated "Even so" (Matthew 11:26 - Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do.)

Lord there are many things we frightfully faced, but we know that we are enclosed in Thee and this dark world  cannot touch us except by Thy  permission, and if Thou  permit things that seem evil to enter and challenge  our life, it must be well. Make us believe that all things are working together for good and all is possible in Christ who gives us the strength. Amen

Thank you Lord Jesus,

Before Amen: The Power of a Simple Prayer By Max Lucado In Before Amen, Max Lucado explores the very heart of Biblical prayer by offering distilled, hope-filled prayers that will help you turn your heart towards the One who longs to speak with you. Prayer is a lifeline, a beacon of hope that we can cling to in life's difficult moments...Lord, please protect my family...God, I need your help to make it through today...Jesus, thank you for your grace...It goes on and on. Prayer is the most necessary and most basic expression of our faith, yet we often struggle to do it. The daily duties of life crowd in, filling our days with activity and we don't communicate with our heavenly Father. Thankfully, we aren't the first followers of Jesus to struggle with prayer. The disciples did too. In response to their questions, Jesus gives them, and us, a simple, beautiful example to follow.
