A "Second Look" at the Parthenon and Prayer

• Draw Close: this is really about secret prayer.
  • The secret to a powerful spiritual life is secret prayer.
  • Secret prayer is rewarded by a response from God.
  • Secret prayer is direct.
  • Secret prayer follows a specific pattern.
• Draw Close: this is even more about enjoying God.

Opening "Encounters" in This Prayer

• God as Father
  • This is the first time the disciples heard that intimate term.
• God as "in the heavens"
• God as my first concern

Matt 6:5-9
