"Lord-Teach us to Pray"
|
|
“1 Now Jesus was praying in a certain place, a nd when He finished, one of His disciples said to
Him: Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples. 2 And He said to them: “When you pray,
say: Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. 3 Give us each day our daily bread, 4 and
forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And lead us not into
temptation.”
Jesus gave insight to a model prayer It includes a:
1.Refocus on God’s paternity “Father…
14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of
slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we
cry, “Abba! Father!” 16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with o ur spirit that we are children of
God, 17 and if children, then heirs heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ…” Romans 8:14 17a
2. Reflection on God’s revealed presence , position , and reverence due Him “…hallowed be
your name”
O righteous Father, even though the world does not know You, I know You, and these know
that You have sent Me. I made known to them Your nam e , and I will continue to make it
known...” John 17:25 26a
3.Recommit to God’s purpose “…Your kingdom
4. Request God’s provision “Give us each day our daily bread”
5.Receive God’s pardon /offer others a pardon “…and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves
forgive everyone who is indebted to us.”
6. Reach up for God’s protection “And lead us not into temptation”
Therefore let anyone who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall. 13 No temptation has
overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and He will not let you be tempted
beyond your ability, but with the temptation He will also provide the wa y of escape, that you
may be able to endure it.” 1 Corinthians 10:12 13

6. Reach up for God’s protection “And lead us not into temptation”
- Temptations tendency : to place blame
- Temptations root : an ungodly desire within
- Temptations deception : limited consequences
- Temptations limiter: God’s faithfulness & escape plan
- Temptations defeat: Choosing God’s escape while enduring
