Pray Like Jesus:
6 Weeks on the Lord’s Prayer
Where do we even start? The needs of our world, our city, our church, our own families, our own lives? Where do we even start to pray?
Jesus, can you teach us how to pray? Can you show us how to come into the Father’s presence -- not with some sort of formula, but with freedom? Can you show us how to trust you with the totality of our lives and the concerns of this world? Can you reorient us with a grace-filled, eyes-wide-open perspective of who you are and what you are up to in this world?
“Each petition of the Lord’s prayer is a window onto Jesus’ character and actions before it is instruction for us.”
