Our Father.

• We are longer slave but sons ans daughters
• We can approach him with confidence because of Jesus

In heaven.

• With Jesus as the high priest,  we can confidence to enter the into the throne room of God
• Can gain a heavenly perspective
• Praise God that his resources there are limitless

Hallowed be your name.

• Being holy, set apart, above us
• Prayer is not just asking for something but for honoring Him

Your kingdom come.

• Kingdom has not come to every nation and place nor every person
• Pray for God to open doors, speaking boldly, with wisdom
• Pray for those who server and in leading roles

Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

• God wants us to pray about surrendering to his will
• Challenges is our life must not be avoided but have a surrendered life
• Read some command and ask yourself if you are following them
• Jesus never asked for strength to go to the cross but only that he might surrender
• Besides pride and rebellion, unbelief keeps us from doing God's will

Give us today our daily bread.

• Bring specific needs to God
• Must depend on God daily for our spiritual and physical needs
• Pray thorough your todo list and details
• Jesus said we could do nothing apart from God - John 15:5

Forgive us our debts as we have forgiven our debtors.

• Lack of confession results in a hardened heart
• We will not mature if do not do this soul searching
• Be specific; ask others for forgiveness if needed
• Extend forgiveness; can not be forgiven by God otherwise

And lead us not into temptation.

• What are your weaknesses? Have you faced them?
• Draw on God's power before Satan strikes

For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

• Return again to praising and glorifying God
• All power rests in his hand
