Pray Like This

In this exploration of the Lord's Prayer, we're invited to see prayer not as a formal ritual, but as an intimate family conversation with our Heavenly Father. The prayer Jesus taught isn't just about requests; it's about understanding our identity as God's children. We're challenged to reflect on how we address God - not as a distant deity, but as 'Abba', our loving Dad. This shift in perspective transforms how we approach prayer and our relationship with God. The prayer unfolds as a beautiful tapestry of family life - our family name, honor, mission, provision, likeness, and protection. Most importantly, we're reminded that the truest evidence of knowing God as Father is our willingness to forgive others as He has forgiven us. This message urges us to examine our hearts and ask: Are we truly living as forgiven children who forgive?
