The Bible opens with God creating mankind to walk and talk with Him in a paradise called Eden.
The Bible closes with God bringing redeemed humans to the eternal paradise where they can see Him and commune with Him forever.
Between those opening and closing events, God came as a man. Jesus Christ is God in human flesh, and He expresses to us that very same desire of God for our fellowship and communion with Him. Jesus said that God has a way He wants us to come and talk to Him.
Jesus left us a pathway to follow, a pattern to be sure we trace, and markers to follow so that we get to the desired place of communion and fellowship with God. Today we need to be sure that we are praying the prayer that changes me.
Jesus never taught His disciples how to preach, He only taught them over and over how to pray.
God wants us to pray, He invites us to pray, and in Matthew 6 He even gave us a specific list of the type of words He wants to hear.
Praying What God Wants to be Heard
There is a question we need to ask ourselves: is God hearing what He seeks to hear from us as we pray?
The Lord’s Prayer has been one of the most powerful tools God has used throughout the centuries, to focus, encourage, and guide the daily lives of Christ’s Church.
