Praying Like Jesus Prayed - Matthew 6:9-13

OUR PRAYER BEGINS FROM A PLACE OF INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP

OUR PERSONAL GOD CANNOT BE MISTAKEN FOR ANYONE EXCEPT THE CREATOR OF THE COSMOS

OUR GOD IS HOLY AND SEPARATED

THY KINGDOM COME IS NOT A HOPEFUL EXPECTATION OF A FUTURE REALITY.  IT IS A PLEA TO BE THE AGENTS OF THE KINGDOM IN THE HERE AND NOW

WE ARE TO SEEK PRESENT NEED RATHER THAN FUTURE PREPARATION

CLEARLY THE FORGIVENESS OF OUR SINS IS CONNECTED TO OUR FORGIVING THE SINS OF OTHERS

OUR PRAYER SHOULD REMIND US OF BOTH OUR NEED FOR GUIDANCE AND PROTECTION

EVERYTHING IS GOD’S AND FOR GOD – ALWAYS HAS BEEN, ALWAYS WILL BE

IF WE PRAY AS JESUS TAUGHT, IT CAN REVOLUTIONIZE OUR PRAYER LIFE
