BOTTOM LINE:

I have a perfect father I can trust.
I am not an only child.
He is the dad I never had.
His presence is his power.
He is unlike any other.
START TALKING

When have you felt the pressure to be perfect at something or not mess up? Or when have you felt the pressure for something to go perfectly? What happened that quickly proved you weren't going to be perfect or that it wasn't possible for it to go perfectly?

When have you unintentionally put the pressure on someone else or something else to be perfect? Why was there such pressure for it to be perfect?
START THINKING

Read Matthew 6:9. What is the significance of Jesus starting this model prayer by defining the relationship of who we are praying with?

What is the significance of him starting the prayer with "our" instead of "my"? What do you think are some of the many implications of this?

What are other verses that come to mind about God as Father? What do they teach you about the character and nature of God as Father? (Hint: look up "Father" in the concordance of your Bible or search online for "Bible verses about God as Father")
START SHARING

When do you feel like an "only child" when it comes to your relationship with God as Father? Why is it important to acknowledge that is not the case? How does this impact your relationship with God as Father?

Why is it hard for us to accept God as the perfect Father or the "dad I never had"? How is this different than the image of God that religion seems to depict?
START DOING

If you were to pray this week focusing on God as your Father, who is unlike any other, what might your prayers be? What will the focus on?

If you were to trust God this week as your perfect Father, what will you do differently? How will it impact the way you spend your time? The way you share your story with those who are far from Him?
START PRAYING

Pray for each other in the micro church to trust God as the perfect Father. Pray that each person will grow in their understanding of God as the dad that they never had. Pray that we will all take this message of the perfect Father out to those who are far from Him wherever we live, work, and play.
