THE MODEL PRAYER

THE MODEL PRAYER
 
Matthew 6:9 - 13
 
Prayer is a neccesity for survival.  We need prayer for guidance, relief of stress, deliverance, and for direct connection with God.  We can not take prayer for granted, for it is a vital part of the Christian life. 
 
1. Address your prayer to God (v. 9)
     - He is our Father and we should approach him as a child in the tenderest relationship.
 
2. Assignment of Praise (v. 9)
     - Hollow is God's name - God loves to be praised.  Who is God to you?  What names can you give Him?
 
3. Annoint Him with will (v. 10)
     - His will is best for our lives.  Every believer should want their will to be the same as God's will.
