Hey everyone and welcome to Refinery Life Australia. The theme for the coming Sunday mornings is The Master’s Recipe for effective Praying. Today we are talking about Our Father. If we are to come boldly to the throne of grace to receive help in our time of need, we must know who sits on the throne. We must know who God is, and we must know what kind of person He is. We can learn a lot by considering our Lord’s most basic instruction on prayer. What we have commonly called the Lord’s Prayer contains some of the most profound thoughts on prayer found in all the Bible. Every word of this model prayer is important. The prayer was given again in Luke’s gospel in response to a specific request from the disciples concerning prayer.  They felt their in adequacy in prayer and wanted Jesus’s aid. He responded by giving this beautiful pattern to follow. How are we to understand prayer?  It was not given to just as a prayer to God, even though it is useful for this.  All of us have experienced some beautiful moments with God as we are out of these words to him. This prayer is meant to be an outline for prayer.  It is to guide us in our prayers as an outline guides the speaker in his delivery.  The prayer presents two major concerns that we must present to the Father.  The first three petitions are concerned with the glory of God, His name, His kingdom, and His will. Blast for our concerned with our needs. This should always be the order of our concern when we come to present ourselves to the Father in prayer. First, we will gather from the light it gives about the God to him we pray.  He is to be addressed, according to our Lord Jesus, as “Our Father which art in heaven.” Until next time Stay in the Blessings I really want to encourage you to be diligent with your Bible study time, because God has so much more for us than we can get from just going to church once or twice a week and hearing someone else talk about the Word. When you spend time with God, your life will change in amazing ways, because God is a Redeemer. Theres nothing thats too hard for Him, and He can make you whole, spirit, soul and body! You’re important to God, and you’re important to us at The Refinery. When it comes to prayer, we believe that God wants to meet your needs and reveal His promises to you. So whatever you’re concerned about and need prayer for we want to be here for you!
