Prayer definition: A personal encounter with God
Luke 11:2-4 CSB
What we learn from Jesus’ prayer:
- God as “Father”
- “Your name be honored as holy, Your kingdom come”
We must rightly orient ourselves, we must assume the right and humble posture before the Lord, before we go before Him with our requests.
Then - PRAY BOLDLY
"God will either give us what we ask or give us what we would have asked if we knew everything He knows.” - Tim Keller
Luke 11:5-13 CSB
Because God is so much better than a friend who shares when you annoy him long enough… ask, seek, and knock. Go boldly and persistently before the throne.
Follow Jesus’ instructions in two ways:
- Pray the Lord’s Prayer
- Pray Jesus’ prayer in principle
Matthew 6:9-13 CSB
