We're in a series right now called One Prayer.

And this is what we did. In essence, we have these speakers coming in like Rick Bousette and

Chris Hodges and people like that. And we said, if you had one prayer that only one prayer you could get answered

what would it be? So that's what I want to talk to you about today all right?

Now let me say this I understand that we could over-spiritualize this.

I understand that we could all say, well, my one prayer would be that everyone gets saved.

And obviously as believers, that would be our one prayer.

But the reason we chose this is because we wanted every person

that came to the pulpit during this season

to be able to kind of share his life message. Well, if you had one prayer, I mean, yes, we want everyone to say.

For instance, Steve Doolin shared about, I would like everyone to know God's ways work.

God's ways work. way's work.

And that's something that he's lived 20 years owning his own company, and he wants every person to

understand, God's ways work.

God's ways work.

So if I had one prayer, it probably won't surprise you when I say this, my one

prayer would be that everyone would live a blessed life. That's my one prayer. And it's really important to me that people understand this.

Now I've preached on the blessed life here at the church before, twice now actually.

I wrote the book on it. Many people read the book but here's the point I'm

going to share something with you today never shared before never shared this

before and I'm going to actually summarize what it means to live a blessed life.

So I want you to turn to Matthew chapter 25.
