Pray Like This
Matthew 6:13-19
Today we continue exploring the Lord’s prayer and how we should be praying, focusing on how the prayer is for ‘us’ as a collective, not just ‘me’. We cover four key points:
#1 We have a shared identity through our Father (and we are all equals under this identity). Our faith is not private.
#2 We have a shared dependence on our daily bread that the Father gives us. We should pray for others, not just ourselves.
#3 We have a shared repentance, based on our collective debts to the Father. We should pray for the sins of the Church as a whole, not just our own.
#4 We have a shared vulnerability and we all depend on God for deliverance. He will deliver us all.
