Our Father in the Skies

Too often, prayer can become a means to an end, and sadly, many times; it becomes a means to a selfish end as we focus all of our prayers on ourselves. In the middle of our Lord’s Sermon on the Mount, he provides a model that all believers should follow, informing our theology on prayer and actually praying. And when reading this prayer, we quickly learn that this model prayer is not focused on us as it is God. Every aspect of this prayer speaks of God’s relationship, His resources, His provisions, His forgiveness, His reverence, and His sovereign rule. In this episode, we examine Matthew 6:9, “Our Father in heaven.”
