Praying from the Father

Text: Matt 6:11-13

Matthew 6:11–13 ESV

Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Themes:

Week 1 we see that God is glorious and it is all about his will.

Week 2 we see that God is good and giving.

He is our source of: daily needs (phyiscal), daily needs (relationally - forgiveness) and daily spiritual needs (spiritual warfare)
