HOW DO I TALK TO GOD?Matthew 6.5-14
BIG IDEA: Prayer aligns our hearts as creation with God’s as creator
Not only does Jesus make talking to God possible, but he also teaches us how to pray:
1. Praise God as creator (v9-10)
2. Recognize Yourself as creation (v11-12)
3. Walk with God through out your day (v13-14)

Perhaps if Jesus were saying it today, he would say something like this:
Our Father, who is always near us:
May your name be treasured and loved
May the way you intended the world to be, come to realization in every place it isn’t
May everything be done just the way you want it, everywhere we go
Give us the things we need for today
Feel sorry for us enough to let us at the table so we can bring others as well
And Let us rely on you in our present struggles, because we aren’t strong enough by ourselves
We now see that YOU are the one in charge
And all the glory is yours too – forever
Which is just the way we want it
Matthew 6:5-14 ESV
