0:00.0	There is no substitute for the preaching and teaching of God's Word. Each weekday on enjoying the journey, Scott Pauley leads us in a brief study of Scripture.
0:20.3	Today, on the weekend pulpit, we are happy to share a full-length Bible message given through Scott's pulpit ministry. These messages were recorded live in a local church or gospel event in recent days. It is our prayer that the message will be a help to you today. Let's open God's prayer book.
1:00.5	You know, some churches they have what they call the prayer book.
1:03.2	Look up here just saying, this is God's prayer book.
1:06.1	If you want to know how to pray, what to pray, get in the word, let the word get into you.
1:31.2	And I want you to open God's prayer book with me, if you will, to the gospel according to Matthew.

2:11.1	So it is not just that you don't pray in public.
2:14.8	That's not what I'm talking about.
2:15.9	It really is more the attitude of the heart towards God
2:19.2	that gets our eyes off of the people and back on the Lord.
2:23.6	What did the hymn writer write?
2:24.8	Turn your eyes upon Jesus.
2:27.2	Look full in his wonderful face,
2:28.5	and the things of this world will grow strangely dim in the light of his glory and grace.
2:32.2	So real prayer is getting Godward. It is
