"The Lord's Prayer: An Introduction"
A Model For Our Lives
(Matthew 6:5-8)
- When "acts of righteousness" are done, we must have the right motive and the right audience. (Why and who are we praying to?)
- Our "acts of righteousness" are to come as a response from within our relationship with God.
(Close the door of distraction.) - Follow the example of early 2nd century Christians - recite the Lord's Prayer three times a day.
(Say it out loud.) - But, don't neglect the power of spontaneous prayer.
(Neh. 2:1-5) - Understand that prayer, especially the Lord's Prayer, is not for getting what we want but rather accepting what God wants.
