“And after twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand; and they knelt down before Him and mocked Him, saying, ‘Hail, King of the Jews!’ They spat on Him, and took the reed and began to beat Him on the head. After they had mocked Him, they took the scarlet robe off Him and put His own garments back on Him, and led Him away to crucify Him.” (Matthew 27:29-31) ...
A prayer offered with joy and gratitude Turns into beautiful incense And comes up before God. God accepts such a fragrant prayer And fulfills that heart’s desire.
A person fully loaded with worries and anxieties Comes to feel discouraged, Fails to receive an answer to prayers, And loses the strength to pray. Evils harbored in heart: resentment and complaint Stop prayers from being answered.
God wants His beloved children To offer a prayer with good fragrance in heart. Even an incomplete person can receive A precious gift of answer from God When they try to live in the words of truth And offer the incense of joy and gratitude.
“If I regard wickedness in my heart, the LORD will not hear.” (Psalm 66:18)
