"The Person and the Purpose"

Matthew 6:9-10

Summary:
1.  The first phrase of the prayer establishes the relationship in which the prayer can be meaningful.
2.  The second extended phrase establishes that the purpose of prayer is not to get my will done in heaven, but to get God's will done on earth, to bring the reality of His kingdom into my life, and into the lives of those I encounter.

Application:
1.  Seek to enhance your relationship with God.
2.  Protect God's Name!!
3.  Remember the importance of communal prayer.
4.  Understand that kingdom is a question about whom or what we worship.
5.  Always ask, "Is this God's will?"
6.  Notice the correlation of this initial part of the prayer to our vision.
7.  If we pray this way, we must live this way.
