For example, there was one prayer I learned to treasure. It was called \u201cthe Mizpah Benediction.\u201d Ever heard of it?<\/p>\n<p>My Sunday school class and children\u2019s church would often conclude with words imported from Genesis 31:49: \u201cThe Lord watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another\u201d (KJV). Sweet, right?<\/p>\n<p>Only much later did I learn that those words were first spoken in a much different context than a gathering of friends and fellow worshipers. In fact, the words were spoken by Laban to Jacob; neither of them trusted the other, so the original context was that of one man saying to another, \u201cGod will get you if you betray me.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>That certainly changes things. Or does it?<\/p>\n<p>As Jesus hung on the cross, dying an excruciating death, he called out, \u201cMy God, my God, why have you forsaken me?\u201d (Matthew 27:46, NIV). The words are famous today as one of <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/how-to-pray\/pray-the-seven-words-of-jesus-from-the-cross\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the \u201cseven words\u201d<\/a> or sayings Jesus uttered on the cross, but they were originally the opening lines of a song (or psalm) written by David, giant-killer who became the shepherd king of Israel. We don\u2019t know in what circumstances David wrote that line, but we can be sure they weren\u2019t his dying utterance. We might say that Jesus \u201crepurposed\u201d David\u2019s prayer, quoting it and applying it to His own agony on the cross.<\/p>\n<p>Jesus did the same with another line from one of David\u2019s songs, Psalm 31:5: \u201cInto your hands I commit my spirit\u201d (NIV). Luke 23:46 records, \u201cThen Jesus called out in a loud voice, \u2018Father, into Your hands I commit My Spirit.\u2019 And when He had said this, He breathed His last\u201d (NIV). It was another prayer Jesus repurposed, so to speak, and may even have done so believing that those who heard His words would recognize them and see His sufferings as having been foreshadowed in scripture.<\/p>\n<p>So, when recently I stood at the bedside of my wife\u2019s mother, whose health was failing fast, and recited with her and other family members the familiar \u201cMizpah Benediction,\u201d I didn\u2019t mind at all that the others probably gave no thought to the original context of those words. They were a comfort, and a blessing <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/daily-devotions\/devotions-for-faith-prayer\/adding-your-words-to-gods-word\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">from God\u2019s Word<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>So I would suggest that we don\u2019t have to feel obligated to carefully duplicate the context of every prayer we pray, even when the prayer comes from the Bible. Jesus didn\u2019t. In fact, I think His life was probably so saturated with the words of scripture that the words arose almost constantly into His mind and heart as prayer. May it be increasingly so with us, even when the prayer is \u201crepurposed.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Growing up, I attended Sunday school every week, and some of my earliest prayers were learned there.
