Good, Good Father

Please Listen Carefully

When calling a doctor or another office, you’ve probably heard it; perhaps you’ve wondered why they’re still saying it

Want two things

A person who cares, who can understand your need and have compassion

A person who is able to handle your situation

A Model For Prayer

Last 2 weeks:

We can approach God

We respond to God, we respond better when we know God

The next several weeks we base our investigation of prayer on the most famous prayer: the Lord’s prayer

Our Father...

Jesus opens prayer in recognition of the One to whom we pray

Jesus helps us understand that God desires to have a relationship

Prayer should be a familiar meeting with a loving parent

…in Heaven

The Father is able to handle our prayers

With power

With wisdom

We have confidence in prayer because God is the loving father who is able to take care of us
