ANGLICAN COMMUNION DEVOTIONAL OUTLINE FOR 13TH SEPTEMBER 2026.
Our reading today shows a situation where prayers seemingly go unanswered as shown in two contrasting lives – one marked by wealth and indifference (the rich man), and another by suffering and the yearning for relief (Lazarus). While Lazarus made his prayers on earth while alive, the rich man made his only when he was dead. Lazarus’ prayer (desire) was in line with the pattern taught by Christ.
His desire was that the Lord would provide him his daily bread (Matt. 6:9-13). It appeared Lazarus’ prayer was not answered but at the end, he saw that God was working out his purposes for him. In contrast, the rich man apparently made no prayers while on earth because he lacked nothing except that he had no connection with God. His only prayers were after death, and the timing and content of his prayers were wrong.
He was praying about salvation and relief from hell in eternity, a matter he should have settled earlier. He received an instant response, yet it was an unfavourable answer. Beloved, we must remember that effective prayer is built first on our relationship with God, as “our Father.” Second, it is only in time (our earthly life) that we need to pray and settle the issues of salvation and eternity. The best liturgical prayers at a funeral, cannot change the destiny of the deceased. All prayers after death are like the prayers of the rich man. They fail in content and in time.
PRAYER POINT: Lord, while I yet live, help me to pray; and may I pray according to your will.
