How to Pray, Week Two: Our Father in Heaven
Category: Religion & Spirituality
Duration: 00:17:32

Description: We have a Father in Heaven and are invited into a relationship and purpose with him! Today we are diving into the first verse in the Lord’s Prayer – Matthew 6:9.

What does it say?

1. “our” father – we are immediately placed in community. This is not an individual prayer.
2. “father” – we all have emotional underpinning to this word. If I say the word father, what is the first word that comes to your mind? Check out Romans 8:15 and think about what it means that God is your Abba Father. We have a framework here for how we can approach our Father in Heaven – with freedom and confidence.
3. “hallowed be your name” – God is not only our intimate father, but also to be revered as set apart and holy. God wants to be intimately a part of your life, but not as a genie, but as God of all creation. Lord -help us to know you and set you apart the way you are meant to be known and set apart

***
Reflect:
1. Do we need to ask our Father in Heaven – “Lord, what does it mean that you are my Father?”
2. We have a shared Father in heaven, we want to know him and for him to be known as holy.

“God the Father is ours, and we are his.” - Dale Bruner
