40 Days of Hope - Day 25

In order to pray with boldness and hope, you need to know who you’re praying to.

When you pray what’s in your minds eye? Who are you talking to?

Matthew 6:9–13

[9] Pray then like this:

“Our Father in heaven,

hallowed be your name.

[10] Your kingdom come,

your will be done,

on earth as it is in heaven.

[11] Give us this day our daily bread,

[12] and forgive us our debts,

as we also have forgiven our debtors.

[13] And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil. (ESV)

Jesus tells us who we’re praying to in the first verse of the Lord’s prayer. You’re talking to a good father who knows your needs and loves to listen to you. This is who we talk to when we pray.

Prayer Focus:
ADORE God for being a good father, having all the qualities of the best kind of fathers
CONFESS your sins and those things in your life that keep you from a good relationship with your good father
THANK God for making a way to have a relationship with Him through Jesus
SUPPLICATE (Beg) God for a deeper, clearer, stronger relationship with Him
SILENTLY Reflect on Matthew 6.9-13
