Pray Like a Lion

I don’t remember exactly who and when, but years ago I learned about four faces of prayer–based on the four faces of the Revelation’s heavenly creatures.

Revelation 4:7 (ESV)
The first living creature like a lion, the second living creature like an ox, the third living creature with the face of a man, and the fourth living creature like an eagle in flight.

If you pray like a lion, you’re a watcher–that is, you keep an eye on what’s happening between us and the horizon. 

Deliver us from evil, Lord. Protect us, in Jesus’ name.
