00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.339
 Alright, well this morning we're continuing our way through Luke. Luke's Gospel, the story of Jesus.

00:00:06.419 --> 00:00:09.880
 And we're in the Gospel of Luke chapter 11.

00:00:11.240 --> 00:00:20.760
 So, just as a reminder, the last two things that we heard were the parable of the Good Samaritan that Jesus told to the religious lawyer.

00:00:21.580 --> 00:00:25.839
 And we heard about this visit of Jesus to Mary and Martha's house.

00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:34.480
 Both of these incidents had to do with relationship with God and relationship with Jesus.

00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:38.179
 Well, this morning we get to continue on with that theme.

00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:42.200
 Because what follows in Luke's Gospel is all about that.

00:00:43.539 --> 00:00:49.200
 Let me just read our verses for us in Luke chapter 11, verse 1 to 4.

00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:55.540
 One day Jesus was praying in a certain place.

00:00:56.880 --> 00:01:00.000
 When he finished, one of his disciples said to him,

00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:06.379
 Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.

00:01:06.379 --> 00:01:10.299
 He said to them,

00:01:10.299 --> 00:01:13.780
 When you pray, say,

00:01:14.379 --> 00:01:15.519
 Father,

00:01:16.259 --> 00:01:18.479
 hallowed be your name.

00:01:19.479 --> 00:01:21.280
 Your kingdom come.

00:01:22.919 --> 00:01:24.359
 Give us each day

00:01:24.359 --> 00:01:25.959
 our daily bread.

00:01:27.579 --> 00:01:29.379
 Forgive us our sins.

00:01:30.179 --> 00:01:32.359
 For we also forgive everyone

00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:34.259
 who sins against us.

00:01:34.260 --> 00:01:36.680
 And lead us not

00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:38.240
 into temptation.

00:01:42.880 --> 00:01:44.939
 This prayer is very familiar.

00:01:45.540 --> 00:01:48.340
 Even for some who don't attend church regularly,

00:01:48.580 --> 00:01:50.980
 they may know the words of this prayer.

00:01:51.600 --> 00:01:53.060
 Maybe they were taught it as a child

00:01:53.060 --> 00:01:55.060
 or remember hearing it in church

00:01:55.060 --> 00:01:57.800
 as they attended with a parent or grandparent.

00:01:59.740 --> 00:02:01.960
 As we look at this prayer in Luke's Gospel,

00:02:02.219 --> 00:02:04.140
 maybe one of the first things that we notice

00:02:04.140 --> 00:02:06.799
 is that there seem to be some words

00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:08.300
 or phrases missing from it.

00:02:09.900 --> 00:02:11.039
 And why is that?

00:02:13.139 --> 00:02:13.580
 Well,

00:02:13.939 --> 00:02:15.560
 we have to notice the setting.

00:02:18.039 --> 00:02:19.539
 Go back up to verse 1.

00:02:21.659 --> 00:02:23.599
 Luke tells us that Jesus was praying

00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:24.680
 in a certain place.

00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:28.360
 And when he finished praying,

00:02:29.020 --> 00:02:31.500
 one of his disciples said this to him,

00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:32.960
 Lord, teach us to pray.

00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:36.439
 Just as John taught his disciples.

00:02:37.379 --> 00:02:38.580
 That would be John the Baptist,

00:02:39.180 --> 00:02:40.120
 John the Baptizer.

00:02:41.060 --> 00:02:43.219
 This is the occasion that gave rise

00:02:43.219 --> 00:02:44.560
 to Jesus' teaching on prayer.

00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:46.280
 So Jesus himself was praying

00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:48.939
 and his disciples maybe were watching this

00:02:48.939 --> 00:02:50.400
 or perhaps even overheard

00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:51.460
 some of what he was saying.

00:02:51.460 --> 00:02:53.400
 And then they make this request.

00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:54.700
 Teach us to pray

00:02:54.700 --> 00:02:56.460
 like you do.

00:02:58.460 --> 00:03:00.219
 But there's actually another occasion

00:03:00.219 --> 00:03:02.040
 on which Jesus taught about prayer.

00:03:02.460 --> 00:03:04.340
 And we read about it in a different Gospel.

00:03:05.020 --> 00:03:07.219
 We read about it in Matthew's Gospel,

00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:08.960
 chapter 6.

00:03:10.420 --> 00:03:11.860
 So in Matthew chapter 6,

00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:14.020
 we have the longer version

00:03:14.020 --> 00:03:15.300
 of this same prayer.

00:03:15.300 --> 00:03:18.680
 the one that we're more familiar with

00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:21.560
 in verses 9 to 13.

00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:23.680
 And you'll notice those phrases

00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:25.820
 and words that seem like they're missing

00:03:25.820 --> 00:03:27.280
 from Luke are here.

00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:31.280
 We also notice,

00:03:31.420 --> 00:03:32.800
 if we're looking in Matthew's Gospel,

00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:34.500
 that what Jesus taught here,

00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:36.720
 this is actually a different occasion.

00:03:37.939 --> 00:03:39.360
 Jesus wasn't praying

00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:41.420
 right before this.

00:03:41.500 --> 00:03:42.580
 He was actually teaching

00:03:42.580 --> 00:03:43.800
 about prayer.

00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:45.960
 And then if we look at

00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:47.080
 what comes after

00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:48.060
 in Matthew's Gospel,

00:03:48.219 --> 00:03:49.860
 we see that he continues teaching.

00:03:50.340 --> 00:03:51.840
 But his teaching is different

00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:53.320
 than the stuff that comes after

00:03:53.320 --> 00:03:55.340
 in Luke's Gospel.

00:04:01.180 --> 00:04:01.840
 In fact,

00:04:02.020 --> 00:04:02.980
 we know where we're at

00:04:02.980 --> 00:04:03.680
 in Luke,

00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:05.220
 chapter 11.

00:04:05.720 --> 00:04:06.580
 The Sermon on the Mount

00:04:06.580 --> 00:04:07.780
 has already taken place

00:04:07.780 --> 00:04:09.400
 back in chapter 6.

00:04:10.380 --> 00:04:12.200
 And so what we've got going on here

00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:13.519
 is two different occasions

00:04:13.519 --> 00:04:14.560
 where Jesus taught

00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:15.560
 about how to pray

00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:17.959
 using very similar words.

00:04:20.060 --> 00:04:21.300
 One of those occasions,

00:04:21.459 --> 00:04:23.459
 he used a little bit more words

00:04:23.459 --> 00:04:25.719
 and had a few extra phrases

00:04:25.719 --> 00:04:26.920
 and words in there.

00:04:27.019 --> 00:04:28.019
 And on the other occasion

00:04:28.019 --> 00:04:29.360
 with his disciples later

00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:30.519
 in Luke's Gospel,

00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:32.180
 there's a few less words

00:04:32.180 --> 00:04:32.659
 and phrases.

00:04:33.740 --> 00:04:35.800
 And we've already said this before,

00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:37.520
 but Jesus often taught

00:04:37.520 --> 00:04:38.560
 the same things

00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:40.480
 over and over again

00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:41.520
 in different places

00:04:41.520 --> 00:04:43.060
 to different people.

00:04:43.699 --> 00:04:44.460
 He wanted everyone

00:04:44.460 --> 00:04:45.699
 to hear the same message,

00:04:46.100 --> 00:04:47.439
 the same good news

00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:48.160
 of the kingdom,

00:04:48.699 --> 00:04:49.980
 the same instruction,

00:04:50.139 --> 00:04:50.939
 the same teaching.

00:04:51.960 --> 00:04:53.180
 And sometimes he used

00:04:53.180 --> 00:04:54.160
 a little different wording

00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:55.740
 here than there.

00:04:57.800 --> 00:04:58.980
 Now you might be wondering,

00:04:59.100 --> 00:04:59.819
 is there any relevance

00:04:59.819 --> 00:05:00.699
 to all this?

00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:02.759
 I think there is.

00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:04.659
 One of the questions

00:05:04.659 --> 00:05:05.500
 that we have

00:05:05.500 --> 00:05:07.199
 is what are we supposed

00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:09.959
 to do with this prayer?

00:05:11.459 --> 00:05:13.699
 Does Jesus want his disciples

00:05:13.699 --> 00:05:16.779
 to pray this very same prayer,

00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:18.079
 these exact words?

00:05:20.159 --> 00:05:21.399
 And how often,

00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:22.219
 how frequently?

00:05:22.699 --> 00:05:23.300
 Every day?

00:05:25.060 --> 00:05:26.300
 Or is this prayer

00:05:26.300 --> 00:05:27.920
 a sort of template,

00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:29.579
 a guide,

00:05:29.579 --> 00:05:31.079
 an example

00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:33.099
 of how we should pray?

00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:34.759
 And I think the answer

00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:35.959
 to that is kind of proven

00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:36.579
 by the fact

00:05:36.579 --> 00:05:37.639
 there are two slightly

00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:38.919
 different versions of it.

00:05:40.300 --> 00:05:41.879
 If Jesus himself

00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:43.060
 didn't feel obligated

00:05:43.060 --> 00:05:45.000
 to use the exact same words

00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:46.599
 on both occasions,

00:05:47.039 --> 00:05:47.839
 it's evidence

00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:49.240
 that this is a guiding prayer.

00:05:50.159 --> 00:05:51.139
 It's an example

00:05:51.139 --> 00:05:52.680
 of how we should pray

00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:55.060
 and not the only prayer

00:05:55.060 --> 00:05:56.459
 that we must pray

00:05:56.459 --> 00:05:57.799
 word for word

00:05:57.799 --> 00:05:58.519
 all the time.

00:05:59.579 --> 00:06:01.019
 In some churches,

00:06:01.539 --> 00:06:02.899
 the reciting of this prayer

00:06:02.899 --> 00:06:04.680
 is done so often,

00:06:05.259 --> 00:06:05.839
 it's become

00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:07.120
 a very strong tradition.

00:06:08.300 --> 00:06:09.899
 And there's a sort of danger

00:06:09.899 --> 00:06:11.259
 that can go with that.

00:06:12.339 --> 00:06:13.879
 Not that we shouldn't

00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:15.300
 use these words often,

00:06:15.740 --> 00:06:17.560
 but we can become

00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:18.459
 like the lawyer

00:06:18.459 --> 00:06:19.319
 that we heard about

00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:20.419
 back in chapter 10,

00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:21.979
 where we're able

00:06:21.979 --> 00:06:23.039
 to recite the prayer

00:06:23.039 --> 00:06:24.419
 perfectly and flawlessly

00:06:24.419 --> 00:06:25.479
 from memory.

00:06:25.939 --> 00:06:27.379
 But as we recite it,

00:06:27.379 --> 00:06:29.759
 are we actually praying

00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:30.839
 from our hearts

00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:32.500
 to God

00:06:32.500 --> 00:06:33.500
 these words?

00:06:35.100 --> 00:06:36.000
 Or are we just

00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:37.439
 mindlessly rattling off

00:06:37.439 --> 00:06:38.839
 the same thing

00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:40.139
 again and again?

00:06:42.139 --> 00:06:43.360
 Because if that's

00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:44.040
 what we're doing,

00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:46.719
 this prayer can become

00:06:46.719 --> 00:06:48.600
 a religious ritual

00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:51.420
 rather than part of

00:06:51.420 --> 00:06:52.899
 a meaningful relationship

00:06:52.899 --> 00:06:54.439
 that we have

00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:55.099
 with God.

00:06:56.839 --> 00:06:57.899
 And the last thing

00:06:57.899 --> 00:06:58.620
 that God wants

00:06:58.620 --> 00:06:59.099
 from us

00:06:59.099 --> 00:07:00.500
 is for us to just

00:07:00.500 --> 00:07:01.279
 sort of rattle

00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:02.159
 this thing off

00:07:02.159 --> 00:07:02.919
 over and over

00:07:02.919 --> 00:07:03.599
 and over again

00:07:03.599 --> 00:07:04.539
 without even thinking

00:07:04.539 --> 00:07:05.539
 about what we mean

00:07:05.539 --> 00:07:07.279
 when we do it.

00:07:09.339 --> 00:07:10.179
 Well, let's take

00:07:10.179 --> 00:07:10.620
 some time

00:07:10.620 --> 00:07:11.939
 to work through

00:07:11.939 --> 00:07:13.439
 the phrases

00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:14.459
 of this prayer

00:07:14.459 --> 00:07:15.859
 and just reflect

00:07:15.859 --> 00:07:16.759
 on what these

00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:17.519
 words mean.

00:07:17.579 --> 00:07:18.120
 What does it mean

00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:18.739
 to pray

00:07:18.739 --> 00:07:20.179
 according to this

00:07:20.179 --> 00:07:21.539
 example prayer?

00:07:21.540 --> 00:07:24.379
 Well, the first

00:07:24.379 --> 00:07:25.080
 and perhaps

00:07:25.080 --> 00:07:26.300
 the most surprising

00:07:26.300 --> 00:07:26.740
 thing,

00:07:27.819 --> 00:07:28.700
 right at the beginning

00:07:28.700 --> 00:07:29.480
 of this prayer,

00:07:31.080 --> 00:07:32.360
 Jesus teaches us

00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:33.460
 to address God

00:07:33.460 --> 00:07:35.220
 as our Father.

00:07:36.700 --> 00:07:37.720
 When you pray,

00:07:37.939 --> 00:07:38.220
 say,

00:07:38.700 --> 00:07:38.980
 Father.

00:07:41.220 --> 00:07:42.540
 This surprises us

00:07:42.540 --> 00:07:43.320
 because we're used

00:07:43.320 --> 00:07:44.400
 to the more lofty

00:07:44.400 --> 00:07:45.439
 titles that God

00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:45.920
 has.

00:07:47.960 --> 00:07:48.920
 The Lord,

00:07:49.960 --> 00:07:50.580
 Almighty,

00:07:51.540 --> 00:07:52.939
 the Holy One.

00:07:54.080 --> 00:07:55.180
 But Father,

00:07:55.500 --> 00:07:55.740
 I mean,

00:07:55.780 --> 00:07:56.900
 that feels close.

00:07:57.319 --> 00:07:58.920
 That feels affectionate.

00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:01.660
 That's family language.

00:08:03.379 --> 00:08:04.379
 And I think

00:08:04.379 --> 00:08:05.780
 Jesus is introducing

00:08:05.780 --> 00:08:06.800
 His disciples

00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:09.280
 to a closeness

00:08:09.280 --> 00:08:10.180
 of relationship

00:08:10.180 --> 00:08:11.420
 that they have

00:08:11.420 --> 00:08:12.860
 not known

00:08:12.860 --> 00:08:13.840
 with God.

00:08:15.020 --> 00:08:16.120
 A closeness

00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:16.680
 that Jesus

00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:17.320
 will bring

00:08:17.320 --> 00:08:17.960
 between

00:08:17.960 --> 00:08:19.820
 God and us

00:08:19.819 --> 00:08:20.800
 through His

00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:21.680
 saving work.

00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:24.480
 Jesus has come

00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:25.139
 to bring us

00:08:25.139 --> 00:08:26.800
 into the family

00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:27.560
 of God

00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:29.839
 as dearly loved

00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:30.360
 children.

00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:34.340
 This is a wonderful

00:08:34.340 --> 00:08:34.840
 truth

00:08:34.840 --> 00:08:38.720
 and amazing news.

00:08:39.419 --> 00:08:40.980
 We read in Romans

00:08:40.980 --> 00:08:42.460
 how He has come

00:08:42.460 --> 00:08:43.120
 to secure

00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:44.039
 our adoption

00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:45.519
 as sons

00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:46.379
 and daughters

00:08:46.379 --> 00:08:46.519
 members

00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:47.939
 of God.

00:08:49.419 --> 00:08:50.340
 Very members

00:08:50.340 --> 00:08:51.000
 of God's

00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:51.439
 family.

00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:56.379
 And so,

00:08:56.600 --> 00:08:57.600
 Father fits

00:08:57.600 --> 00:08:58.399
 the relationship

00:08:58.399 --> 00:08:59.259
 that Jesus

00:08:59.259 --> 00:08:59.799
 has come

00:08:59.799 --> 00:09:00.360
 to bring us

00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:00.679
 into

00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:01.419
 with God.

00:09:02.259 --> 00:09:02.840
 Next,

00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:03.720
 Jesus says,

00:09:04.860 --> 00:09:05.460
 Hallowed be

00:09:05.460 --> 00:09:06.080
 your name.

00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:07.960
 Father,

00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:09.220
 hallowed be

00:09:09.220 --> 00:09:10.000
 your name.

00:09:11.779 --> 00:09:12.740
 What does that

00:09:12.740 --> 00:09:13.000
 mean?

00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:15.019
 the word

00:09:15.019 --> 00:09:15.919
 over the years

00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:16.799
 as English

00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:17.419
 translations

00:09:17.419 --> 00:09:18.200
 are updated,

00:09:19.259 --> 00:09:19.799
 they've been

00:09:19.799 --> 00:09:20.559
 quite hesitant

00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:21.200
 to touch

00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:21.860
 this word

00:09:21.860 --> 00:09:23.879
 and kind

00:09:23.879 --> 00:09:24.580
 of give it

00:09:24.580 --> 00:09:24.980
 a more

00:09:24.980 --> 00:09:25.820
 familiar

00:09:25.820 --> 00:09:27.279
 word.

00:09:27.759 --> 00:09:28.500
 It's so part

00:09:28.500 --> 00:09:28.980
 of tradition

00:09:28.980 --> 00:09:29.580
 that this is

00:09:29.580 --> 00:09:30.240
 what the Lord's

00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:30.779
 prayer is,

00:09:30.860 --> 00:09:31.159
 that we're

00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:31.639
 just used

00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:32.000
 to it.

00:09:32.299 --> 00:09:32.659
 Hallowed

00:09:32.659 --> 00:09:33.000
 be thy

00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:33.360
 name.

00:09:34.919 --> 00:09:35.419
 But what

00:09:35.419 --> 00:09:35.940
 do we

00:09:35.940 --> 00:09:37.100
 even

00:09:37.100 --> 00:09:38.539
 mean by

00:09:38.539 --> 00:09:38.799
 that?

00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:39.179
 What does

00:09:39.179 --> 00:09:39.639
 hallowed

00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:39.940
 mean?

00:09:39.940 --> 00:09:43.240
 the word

00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:43.820
 used here

00:09:43.820 --> 00:09:44.440
 is actually,

00:09:44.680 --> 00:09:46.140
 it comes

00:09:46.140 --> 00:09:46.400
 from the

00:09:46.400 --> 00:09:46.920
 word holy.

00:09:47.140 --> 00:09:47.420
 It's the

00:09:47.420 --> 00:09:48.280
 verb form

00:09:48.280 --> 00:09:48.720
 of the

00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:49.360
 word holy.

00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:50.400
 And it

00:09:50.400 --> 00:09:50.860
 means to

00:09:50.860 --> 00:09:51.680
 treat as

00:09:51.680 --> 00:09:52.140
 holy.

00:09:53.040 --> 00:09:53.820
 Or to

00:09:53.820 --> 00:09:54.540
 set apart

00:09:54.540 --> 00:09:55.320
 as special.

00:09:57.560 --> 00:09:58.160
 The

00:09:58.160 --> 00:09:58.440
 Christian

00:09:58.440 --> 00:09:58.800
 Standard

00:09:58.800 --> 00:09:59.380
 Bible has

00:09:59.380 --> 00:10:00.220
 an excellent

00:10:00.220 --> 00:10:00.820
 translation.

00:10:01.020 --> 00:10:01.300
 It says,

00:10:01.740 --> 00:10:01.760
 Father,

00:10:02.260 --> 00:10:03.340
 your name

00:10:03.340 --> 00:10:04.320
 be honored

00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:05.240
 as holy.

00:10:08.020 --> 00:10:08.620
 Another

00:10:08.620 --> 00:10:09.180
 translation

00:10:09.180 --> 00:10:09.600
 says,

00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:10.000
 Father,

00:10:10.159 --> 00:10:10.580
 may your

00:10:10.580 --> 00:10:11.159
 name be

00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:11.720
 held

00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:13.019
 in honor.

00:10:15.620 --> 00:10:16.300
 So what

00:10:16.300 --> 00:10:16.720
 am I really

00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:17.200
 saying to

00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:17.759
 God if I

00:10:17.759 --> 00:10:18.220
 use these

00:10:18.220 --> 00:10:18.600
 words?

00:10:19.060 --> 00:10:19.800
 I'm saying,

00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:20.920
 God,

00:10:21.019 --> 00:10:21.779
 I desire

00:10:21.779 --> 00:10:22.360
 that your

00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:23.580
 name be

00:10:23.580 --> 00:10:24.159
 honored,

00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:25.740
 be revered.

00:10:27.159 --> 00:10:28.040
 That all

00:10:28.040 --> 00:10:28.740
 people would

00:10:28.740 --> 00:10:29.399
 treat you

00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:29.980
 as the

00:10:29.980 --> 00:10:30.680
 holy God

00:10:30.680 --> 00:10:32.100
 that you

00:10:32.100 --> 00:10:32.399
 are.

00:10:33.500 --> 00:10:34.180
 That they

00:10:34.180 --> 00:10:34.779
 would praise

00:10:34.779 --> 00:10:35.279
 your name

00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:37.320
 and glorify

00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:37.879
 your name

00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:41.139
 and so

00:10:41.139 --> 00:10:41.639
 before we

00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:41.980
 can even

00:10:41.980 --> 00:10:42.519
 really say

00:10:42.519 --> 00:10:42.980
 these words

00:10:42.980 --> 00:10:43.379
 to God,

00:10:43.439 --> 00:10:43.759
 we really

00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:44.080
 need to

00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:44.659
 almost stop

00:10:44.659 --> 00:10:45.080
 and think

00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:45.419
 about,

00:10:46.419 --> 00:10:48.620
 do I

00:10:48.620 --> 00:10:49.179
 actually

00:10:49.179 --> 00:10:49.860
 desire

00:10:49.860 --> 00:10:50.419
 God's

00:10:50.419 --> 00:10:50.840
 name to

00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:51.000
 be

00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:51.259
 honored?

00:10:51.259 --> 00:10:51.379
 Lord,

00:10:52.580 --> 00:10:54.919
 is that

00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:55.360
 the cry

00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:55.659
 of my

00:10:55.659 --> 00:10:55.980
 heart?

00:10:58.679 --> 00:10:59.700
 That God's

00:10:59.700 --> 00:11:00.179
 name be

00:11:00.179 --> 00:11:00.779
 revered

00:11:00.779 --> 00:11:01.519
 and praised

00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:02.179
 by all?

00:11:02.179 --> 00:11:07.019
 is at the desire of your heart

00:11:07.019 --> 00:11:13.419
 next we read

00:11:13.419 --> 00:11:15.059
 your kingdom come

00:11:15.059 --> 00:11:17.239
 so father

00:11:17.239 --> 00:11:19.500
 hallowed be your name

00:11:19.500 --> 00:11:21.419
 your kingdom come

00:11:21.419 --> 00:11:26.539
 Jesus teaches us to long for

00:11:26.539 --> 00:11:27.459
 and desire

00:11:27.459 --> 00:11:30.659
 the coming of the kingdom

00:11:30.659 --> 00:11:31.659
 of God

00:11:31.659 --> 00:11:36.100
 and if this is the first time you've ever heard anything like this

00:11:36.100 --> 00:11:37.120
 you might even be wondering

00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:38.719
 what is the kingdom of God

00:11:38.719 --> 00:11:40.360
 this sounds weird

00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:44.620
 if you've been a Christian for some time

00:11:44.620 --> 00:11:46.740
 and you've been reading in the Bible

00:11:46.740 --> 00:11:48.459
 you'll know that Jesus spoke a lot

00:11:48.459 --> 00:11:49.779
 about the kingdom of God

00:11:49.779 --> 00:11:52.379
 and how it's come near

00:11:52.379 --> 00:11:56.639
 but really the hope of the kingdom of God

00:11:56.639 --> 00:11:58.500
 goes way back to before

00:11:58.500 --> 00:11:59.860
 Jesus was even born

00:11:59.860 --> 00:12:01.539
 back into ancient times

00:12:01.539 --> 00:12:04.779
 the hope of God's kingdom

00:12:04.779 --> 00:12:06.099
 comes from promises

00:12:06.099 --> 00:12:08.199
 that he made to his people

00:12:08.199 --> 00:12:10.779
 to put it

00:12:10.779 --> 00:12:12.319
 sort of briefly

00:12:12.319 --> 00:12:14.559
 and very simply

00:12:14.559 --> 00:12:16.899
 the kingdom of God

00:12:16.899 --> 00:12:18.299
 is the last kingdom of earth

00:12:18.299 --> 00:12:22.039
 it's the greatest kingdom

00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:23.980
 earth will ever see or know

00:12:23.980 --> 00:12:27.539
 it's a global kingdom

00:12:27.539 --> 00:12:28.639
 that God will establish

00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:30.519
 through the one that he has chosen

00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:31.820
 to be king

00:12:31.820 --> 00:12:34.680
 and that one of course is his son

00:12:34.680 --> 00:12:35.320
 Jesus

00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:38.420
 and it's a permanent kingdom

00:12:38.420 --> 00:12:40.480
 a forever kingdom

00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:42.899
 and the citizens of that kingdom

00:12:42.899 --> 00:12:45.379
 will be all who belong to God

00:12:45.379 --> 00:12:49.320
 and Jesus has lots to say

00:12:49.320 --> 00:12:51.320
 about this coming kingdom

00:12:51.320 --> 00:12:52.360
 many of his parables

00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:53.059
 and teachings

00:12:53.059 --> 00:12:55.000
 are aimed at helping us

00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:56.019
 understand it better

00:12:56.019 --> 00:12:58.220
 well here in this prayer

00:12:58.220 --> 00:12:59.879
 Jesus urges us

00:12:59.879 --> 00:13:02.259
 to desire the kingdom of God

00:13:02.259 --> 00:13:03.500
 and even to ask God

00:13:03.500 --> 00:13:04.480
 to let it come

00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:07.200
 to express that longing to God

00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:09.980
 and so again

00:13:09.980 --> 00:13:10.700
 we have to kind of

00:13:10.700 --> 00:13:11.480
 take a step back

00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:12.420
 and ask the question

00:13:12.420 --> 00:13:14.740
 do you long

00:13:14.740 --> 00:13:16.100
 for the fullness

00:13:16.100 --> 00:13:17.120
 of God's kingdom

00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:17.900
 to come

00:13:17.900 --> 00:13:20.840
 do you desire it

00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:23.600
 do you long for Jesus

00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:24.340
 the king

00:13:24.340 --> 00:13:26.000
 to return

00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:27.080
 the one who will reign

00:13:27.080 --> 00:13:27.800
 in righteousness

00:13:27.800 --> 00:13:28.800
 and justice

00:13:28.800 --> 00:13:30.280
 over all the earth

00:13:30.280 --> 00:13:33.740
 Jesus says

00:13:33.740 --> 00:13:34.740
 express that longing

00:13:34.740 --> 00:13:35.259
 to God

00:13:35.259 --> 00:13:36.340
 regularly

00:13:36.340 --> 00:13:40.820
 next we read

00:13:40.820 --> 00:13:42.019
 give us

00:13:42.019 --> 00:13:43.180
 each day

00:13:43.180 --> 00:13:44.879
 our daily bread

00:13:44.879 --> 00:13:47.360
 and

00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:48.240
 it's amazing

00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:49.139
 how much is packed

00:13:49.139 --> 00:13:49.980
 into this one

00:13:49.980 --> 00:13:50.680
 little

00:13:50.680 --> 00:13:52.480
 request

00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:55.100
 maybe before we even

00:13:55.100 --> 00:13:55.919
 get to the words

00:13:55.919 --> 00:13:56.720
 we notice that

00:13:56.720 --> 00:13:57.799
 up until now

00:13:57.799 --> 00:13:58.799
 we haven't really

00:13:58.799 --> 00:13:59.759
 asked for anything

00:13:59.759 --> 00:14:00.639
 for ourselves

00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:02.279
 yet in this prayer

00:14:02.279 --> 00:14:04.139
 and that's probably

00:14:04.139 --> 00:14:05.559
 by design

00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:08.600
 in other words

00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:09.600
 according to Jesus

00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:12.379
 before we start

00:14:12.379 --> 00:14:13.120
 asking God

00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:13.840
 for things

00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:14.960
 that we need

00:14:14.960 --> 00:14:16.480
 we should first

00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:17.519
 acknowledge him

00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:19.600
 we should first

00:14:19.600 --> 00:14:20.840
 remember who he is

00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:21.419
 we should first

00:14:21.419 --> 00:14:22.159
 put our thoughts

00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:23.319
 to his great

00:14:23.319 --> 00:14:24.159
 end

00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:25.299
 which is his kingdom

00:14:25.299 --> 00:14:29.799
 and then

00:14:29.799 --> 00:14:32.159
 come to bring

00:14:32.159 --> 00:14:33.000
 our things

00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:33.500
 that we are

00:14:33.500 --> 00:14:34.039
 looking for

00:14:34.039 --> 00:14:34.659
 from God

00:14:34.659 --> 00:14:36.179
 into our prayer

00:14:36.179 --> 00:14:37.340
 second

00:14:37.340 --> 00:14:38.039
 we might notice

00:14:38.039 --> 00:14:38.519
 that the word

00:14:38.519 --> 00:14:38.899
 please

00:14:38.899 --> 00:14:40.019
 is absent

00:14:40.019 --> 00:14:41.759
 it just says

00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:43.220
 give us each day

00:14:43.220 --> 00:14:44.100
 our daily bread

00:14:44.100 --> 00:14:47.179
 but

00:14:47.179 --> 00:14:48.220
 even though

00:14:48.220 --> 00:14:48.879
 please is

00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:49.620
 absent

00:14:49.620 --> 00:14:51.000
 humility

00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:51.940
 and reverence

00:14:51.940 --> 00:14:52.539
 is sort of

00:14:52.539 --> 00:14:53.000
 implied

00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:55.320
 we could even

00:14:55.320 --> 00:14:56.039
 translate this

00:14:56.039 --> 00:14:57.000
 as grant us

00:14:57.000 --> 00:14:57.779
 each day

00:14:57.779 --> 00:14:59.559
 our daily bread

00:14:59.559 --> 00:15:01.459
 it's not a

00:15:01.459 --> 00:15:01.899
 demand

00:15:01.899 --> 00:15:03.659
 but a humble

00:15:03.659 --> 00:15:04.259
 request

00:15:04.259 --> 00:15:06.219
 in fact

00:15:06.219 --> 00:15:06.839
 even asking

00:15:06.839 --> 00:15:07.559
 God for

00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:08.099
 our daily

00:15:08.099 --> 00:15:08.619
 provision

00:15:08.619 --> 00:15:09.679
 is really

00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:10.439
 us admitting

00:15:10.439 --> 00:15:11.399
 that we

00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:12.419
 need him

00:15:12.419 --> 00:15:14.139
 just to live

00:15:14.139 --> 00:15:16.939
 it's us

00:15:16.939 --> 00:15:17.519
 admitting that

00:15:17.519 --> 00:15:18.259
 we're not

00:15:18.259 --> 00:15:19.099
 self-sufficient

00:15:19.099 --> 00:15:20.219
 but we require

00:15:20.219 --> 00:15:21.379
 his sustaining

00:15:21.379 --> 00:15:21.979
 provision

00:15:21.979 --> 00:15:24.139
 day after day

00:15:24.139 --> 00:15:26.019
 and so it's

00:15:26.019 --> 00:15:26.559
 actually really

00:15:26.559 --> 00:15:27.259
 very humbling

00:15:27.259 --> 00:15:28.039
 thing to pray

00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:31.179
 it's a

00:15:31.179 --> 00:15:31.600
 declaration

00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:32.679
 of our

00:15:32.679 --> 00:15:33.200
 dependence

00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:34.539
 on God

00:15:34.539 --> 00:15:36.100
 give us

00:15:36.100 --> 00:15:36.740
 each day

00:15:36.740 --> 00:15:37.939
 our daily

00:15:37.939 --> 00:15:38.299
 bread

00:15:38.299 --> 00:15:41.159
 next we

00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:41.639
 notice that

00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:42.299
 word bread

00:15:42.299 --> 00:15:44.080
 how many of

00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:44.600
 you had bread

00:15:44.600 --> 00:15:45.139
 for breakfast

00:15:45.139 --> 00:15:45.759
 this morning

00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:48.559
 I don't expect

00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:49.019
 you to raise

00:15:49.019 --> 00:15:49.480
 your hands

00:15:49.480 --> 00:15:50.080
 but it's

00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:50.580
 something that

00:15:50.580 --> 00:15:51.120
 we eat

00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:51.720
 to live

00:15:51.720 --> 00:15:53.019
 but it's

00:15:53.019 --> 00:15:53.960
 also symbolic

00:15:53.960 --> 00:15:55.080
 it's used

00:15:55.080 --> 00:15:55.780
 often in

00:15:55.780 --> 00:15:56.220
 the Bible

00:15:56.220 --> 00:15:56.820
 as sort

00:15:56.820 --> 00:15:57.100
 of the

00:15:57.100 --> 00:15:57.740
 representative

00:15:57.740 --> 00:15:59.040
 food

00:15:59.040 --> 00:16:02.740
 it's not

00:16:02.740 --> 00:16:03.400
 just bread

00:16:03.400 --> 00:16:03.860
 or food

00:16:03.860 --> 00:16:04.180
 that we

00:16:04.180 --> 00:16:04.560
 need to

00:16:04.560 --> 00:16:04.920
 live

00:16:04.920 --> 00:16:06.060
 it represents

00:16:06.060 --> 00:16:07.139
 sustenance

00:16:07.139 --> 00:16:09.100
 and so that's

00:16:09.100 --> 00:16:09.660
 the principle

00:16:09.660 --> 00:16:10.460
 behind I think

00:16:10.460 --> 00:16:11.060
 what Jesus

00:16:11.060 --> 00:16:11.620
 is saying

00:16:11.620 --> 00:16:13.259
 give us

00:16:13.259 --> 00:16:13.720
 each day

00:16:13.720 --> 00:16:14.220
 our daily

00:16:14.220 --> 00:16:14.519
 bread

00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:15.259
 provide for

00:16:15.259 --> 00:16:15.540
 us

00:16:15.540 --> 00:16:16.800
 the things

00:16:16.800 --> 00:16:17.100
 that we

00:16:17.100 --> 00:16:17.480
 need

00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:19.960
 and so we're

00:16:19.960 --> 00:16:20.500
 not limited

00:16:20.500 --> 00:16:21.240
 to asking

00:16:21.240 --> 00:16:22.759
 for food

00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:23.800
 we can ask

00:16:23.800 --> 00:16:24.320
 for anything

00:16:24.320 --> 00:16:24.860
 what is it

00:16:24.860 --> 00:16:25.259
 that you

00:16:25.259 --> 00:16:25.659
 need

00:16:25.659 --> 00:16:31.379
 God desires

00:16:31.379 --> 00:16:31.960
 that we come

00:16:31.960 --> 00:16:32.460
 to him by

00:16:32.460 --> 00:16:32.980
 prayer and

00:16:32.980 --> 00:16:33.759
 just ask him

00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:35.080
 for those

00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:35.500
 things

00:16:35.500 --> 00:16:37.139
 whatever they

00:16:37.139 --> 00:16:37.659
 may be

00:16:37.659 --> 00:16:41.399
 it's also

00:16:41.399 --> 00:16:42.300
 hard not

00:16:42.300 --> 00:16:42.759
 to miss

00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:43.759
 the daily

00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:44.320
 emphasis

00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:44.779
 here

00:16:44.779 --> 00:16:45.440
 it comes

00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:45.879
 through really

00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:46.360
 strongly

00:16:46.360 --> 00:16:47.100
 give us

00:16:47.100 --> 00:16:47.840
 each day

00:16:47.840 --> 00:16:49.580
 our daily

00:16:49.580 --> 00:16:50.019
 bread

00:16:50.019 --> 00:16:53.500
 and we

00:16:53.500 --> 00:16:53.879
 can reflect

00:16:53.879 --> 00:16:54.340
 on this

00:16:54.340 --> 00:16:54.879
 there's lots

00:16:54.879 --> 00:16:55.220
 here

00:16:55.220 --> 00:16:56.960
 we could

00:16:56.960 --> 00:16:57.480
 talk about

00:16:57.480 --> 00:16:58.279
 whether God

00:16:58.279 --> 00:16:59.159
 just provides

00:16:59.159 --> 00:16:59.539
 us with

00:16:59.539 --> 00:16:59.919
 what we

00:16:59.919 --> 00:17:00.259
 need

00:17:00.259 --> 00:17:00.960
 one day

00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:01.700
 for each

00:17:01.700 --> 00:17:02.220
 day at

00:17:02.220 --> 00:17:02.700
 the beginning

00:17:02.700 --> 00:17:03.139
 of that

00:17:03.139 --> 00:17:03.620
 day or

00:17:03.620 --> 00:17:04.339
 during that

00:17:04.339 --> 00:17:04.740
 day

00:17:04.740 --> 00:17:07.599
 one of the

00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:08.079
 things I got

00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:08.740
 thinking about

00:17:08.740 --> 00:17:09.420
 here was

00:17:09.420 --> 00:17:11.599
 how this

00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:12.000
 sort of

00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:12.480
 implies

00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:13.000
 that we

00:17:13.000 --> 00:17:13.380
 pray

00:17:13.380 --> 00:17:14.039
 daily

00:17:14.039 --> 00:17:17.000
 that we

00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:17.460
 come to

00:17:17.460 --> 00:17:17.779
 God

00:17:17.779 --> 00:17:18.680
 and ask

00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:19.319
 for each

00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:19.980
 day's

00:17:19.980 --> 00:17:20.740
 provision

00:17:20.740 --> 00:17:23.879
 in other

00:17:23.879 --> 00:17:24.099
 words

00:17:24.099 --> 00:17:24.799
 Jesus is

00:17:24.799 --> 00:17:25.920
 steering us

00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:26.500
 toward a

00:17:26.500 --> 00:17:26.859
 certain

00:17:26.859 --> 00:17:27.659
 frequency

00:17:27.659 --> 00:17:27.940
 of

00:17:27.940 --> 00:17:28.480
 communication

00:17:28.480 --> 00:17:28.980
 with

00:17:28.980 --> 00:17:29.299
 God

00:17:29.299 --> 00:17:31.619
 our

00:17:31.619 --> 00:17:32.139
 relationship

00:17:32.139 --> 00:17:33.059
 with God

00:17:33.059 --> 00:17:33.379
 as our

00:17:33.379 --> 00:17:33.740
 father

00:17:33.740 --> 00:17:34.339
 is intended

00:17:34.339 --> 00:17:34.720
 to be

00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:35.180
 more than

00:17:35.180 --> 00:17:35.899
 an exchange

00:17:35.899 --> 00:17:36.440
 of words

00:17:36.440 --> 00:17:36.960
 every couple

00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:37.420
 weeks

00:17:37.420 --> 00:17:39.240
 or every

00:17:39.240 --> 00:17:39.680
 Sunday

00:17:39.680 --> 00:17:41.980
 this sort

00:17:41.980 --> 00:17:42.580
 of implies

00:17:42.580 --> 00:17:43.400
 that we

00:17:43.400 --> 00:17:43.880
 talk

00:17:43.880 --> 00:17:44.980
 with God

00:17:44.980 --> 00:17:45.620
 about our

00:17:45.620 --> 00:17:45.980
 needs

00:17:45.980 --> 00:17:46.700
 each day

00:17:46.700 --> 00:17:47.539
 doesn't it

00:17:47.539 --> 00:17:48.720
 give us

00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:49.580
 each day

00:17:49.580 --> 00:17:51.740
 our daily

00:17:51.740 --> 00:17:52.120
 bread

00:17:52.120 --> 00:17:56.080
 our

00:17:56.080 --> 00:17:56.600
 relationship

00:17:56.600 --> 00:17:57.220
 with God

00:17:57.220 --> 00:17:57.820
 as dependent

00:17:57.820 --> 00:17:58.560
 children in

00:17:58.560 --> 00:17:59.060
 his family

00:17:59.060 --> 00:17:59.640
 is to be

00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:00.200
 a daily

00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:01.039
 relationship

00:18:01.039 --> 00:18:03.460
 that's what

00:18:03.460 --> 00:18:03.860
 he wants

00:18:03.860 --> 00:18:04.360
 with us

00:18:04.360 --> 00:18:05.440
 a daily

00:18:05.440 --> 00:18:06.019
 walk with

00:18:06.019 --> 00:18:06.259
 him

00:18:06.259 --> 00:18:09.660
 what do

00:18:09.660 --> 00:18:09.960
 you need

00:18:09.960 --> 00:18:10.359
 from God

00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:10.779
 today

00:18:10.779 --> 00:18:21.720
 we might

00:18:21.720 --> 00:18:22.299
 reflect on

00:18:22.299 --> 00:18:22.839
 earlier this

00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:23.160
 morning

00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:23.700
 did we

00:18:23.700 --> 00:18:24.180
 stop and

00:18:24.180 --> 00:18:24.700
 take time

00:18:24.700 --> 00:18:25.180
 to just

00:18:25.180 --> 00:18:26.140
 ask God

00:18:26.140 --> 00:18:26.480
 for the

00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:26.859
 things that

00:18:26.859 --> 00:18:27.259
 we need

00:18:27.259 --> 00:18:27.900
 for today

00:18:27.900 --> 00:18:31.400
 but more

00:18:31.400 --> 00:18:31.759
 than that

00:18:31.759 --> 00:18:32.539
 if daily

00:18:32.539 --> 00:18:32.980
 is the

00:18:32.980 --> 00:18:33.480
 frequency

00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:34.720
 then it

00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:35.000
 sort of

00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:35.440
 makes sense

00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:35.859
 that this

00:18:35.859 --> 00:18:36.299
 be our

00:18:36.299 --> 00:18:37.019
 habit

00:18:37.019 --> 00:18:39.099
 that every

00:18:39.099 --> 00:18:39.479
 morning

00:18:39.479 --> 00:18:40.579
 at some

00:18:40.579 --> 00:18:40.899
 point

00:18:40.899 --> 00:18:42.699
 we take

00:18:42.699 --> 00:18:43.219
 time to

00:18:43.219 --> 00:18:43.559
 bring our

00:18:43.559 --> 00:18:43.959
 needs to

00:18:43.959 --> 00:18:44.219
 him

00:18:44.219 --> 00:18:49.000
 do you

00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:49.459
 do that

00:18:49.459 --> 00:18:56.259
 perhaps one

00:18:56.259 --> 00:18:56.439
 of the

00:18:56.439 --> 00:18:56.879
 reasons we

00:18:56.879 --> 00:18:57.419
 struggle with

00:18:57.419 --> 00:18:57.799
 this is

00:18:57.799 --> 00:18:58.379
 because we

00:18:58.379 --> 00:18:59.179
 aren't always

00:18:59.179 --> 00:19:00.359
 desperate

00:19:00.359 --> 00:19:02.000
 and in dire

00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:02.539
 straits

00:19:02.539 --> 00:19:04.680
 in the

00:19:04.680 --> 00:19:05.279
 toughest of

00:19:05.279 --> 00:19:05.659
 moments

00:19:05.659 --> 00:19:06.220
 when things

00:19:06.220 --> 00:19:06.799
 feel out

00:19:06.799 --> 00:19:07.059
 of our

00:19:07.059 --> 00:19:07.480
 control

00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:08.240
 it's easy

00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:09.500
 to

00:19:09.500 --> 00:19:10.980
 pray

00:19:10.980 --> 00:19:11.619
 and ask

00:19:11.619 --> 00:19:11.980
 God for

00:19:11.980 --> 00:19:12.299
 help

00:19:12.299 --> 00:19:13.799
 but we

00:19:13.799 --> 00:19:14.039
 aren't

00:19:14.039 --> 00:19:14.659
 always in

00:19:14.659 --> 00:19:14.920
 dire

00:19:14.920 --> 00:19:15.519
 need

00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:17.700
 perhaps we

00:19:17.700 --> 00:19:18.159
 even feel

00:19:18.159 --> 00:19:18.799
 sometimes if

00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:19.200
 we're honest

00:19:19.200 --> 00:19:19.559
 that we

00:19:19.559 --> 00:19:20.220
 don't really

00:19:20.220 --> 00:19:21.259
 need God's

00:19:21.259 --> 00:19:21.500
 help

00:19:21.500 --> 00:19:22.059
 today

00:19:22.059 --> 00:19:24.960
 or provision

00:19:24.960 --> 00:19:25.940
 we can

00:19:25.940 --> 00:19:26.980
 get what we

00:19:26.980 --> 00:19:27.440
 need on our

00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:27.700
 own

00:19:27.700 --> 00:19:30.340
 and yet

00:19:30.340 --> 00:19:30.740
 even the

00:19:30.740 --> 00:19:31.319
 strength to

00:19:31.319 --> 00:19:31.880
 get up

00:19:31.880 --> 00:19:33.460
 and go to

00:19:33.460 --> 00:19:33.759
 work

00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:35.180
 and earn

00:19:35.180 --> 00:19:36.019
 the next

00:19:36.019 --> 00:19:36.440
 dollar

00:19:36.440 --> 00:19:38.299
 it comes

00:19:38.299 --> 00:19:38.759
 from God

00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:40.140
 having

00:19:40.140 --> 00:19:42.860
 anything at

00:19:42.860 --> 00:19:43.240
 all

00:19:43.240 --> 00:19:44.640
 ultimately

00:19:44.640 --> 00:19:45.100
 is the

00:19:45.100 --> 00:19:45.460
 grace

00:19:45.460 --> 00:19:46.519
 and provision

00:19:46.519 --> 00:19:47.039
 of God

00:19:47.039 --> 00:19:50.879
 we are

00:19:50.879 --> 00:19:51.399
 far more

00:19:51.399 --> 00:19:52.059
 dependent on

00:19:52.059 --> 00:19:52.420
 him for

00:19:52.420 --> 00:19:53.079
 life and

00:19:53.079 --> 00:19:53.819
 for everything

00:19:53.819 --> 00:19:54.799
 else

00:19:54.799 --> 00:19:56.119
 than we

00:19:56.119 --> 00:19:56.680
 realize

00:19:56.680 --> 00:19:59.159
 and so it

00:19:59.159 --> 00:19:59.599
 really is

00:19:59.599 --> 00:20:00.500
 fitting as

00:20:00.500 --> 00:20:01.240
 Jesus taught

00:20:01.240 --> 00:20:01.920
 to come to

00:20:01.920 --> 00:20:02.399
 him each

00:20:02.399 --> 00:20:03.399
 day and

00:20:03.399 --> 00:20:03.859
 ask for

00:20:03.859 --> 00:20:04.700
 each day's

00:20:04.700 --> 00:20:06.460
 things that

00:20:06.460 --> 00:20:06.779
 we need

00:20:06.779 --> 00:20:07.220
 from him

00:20:07.220 --> 00:20:10.960
 well next

00:20:10.960 --> 00:20:12.339
 Jesus says

00:20:12.339 --> 00:20:13.259
 when you

00:20:13.259 --> 00:20:13.960
 pray say

00:20:13.960 --> 00:20:14.859
 father

00:20:14.859 --> 00:20:17.179
 forgive us

00:20:17.179 --> 00:20:17.679
 of our

00:20:17.679 --> 00:20:18.039
 sins

00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:19.899
 forgive us

00:20:19.899 --> 00:20:20.719
 our sins

00:20:20.719 --> 00:20:24.179
 for we

00:20:24.179 --> 00:20:24.599
 also

00:20:24.599 --> 00:20:25.299
 forgive

00:20:25.299 --> 00:20:26.079
 everyone

00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:26.959
 who sins

00:20:26.959 --> 00:20:28.179
 against us

00:20:28.179 --> 00:20:32.319
 I couldn't

00:20:32.319 --> 00:20:32.599
 help but

00:20:32.599 --> 00:20:33.099
 notice the

00:20:33.099 --> 00:20:34.379
 order of

00:20:34.379 --> 00:20:34.899
 the things

00:20:34.899 --> 00:20:35.299
 and how

00:20:35.299 --> 00:20:35.659
 they come

00:20:35.659 --> 00:20:35.959
 in this

00:20:35.959 --> 00:20:36.279
 prayer

00:20:36.279 --> 00:20:37.419
 we might

00:20:37.419 --> 00:20:37.959
 have expected

00:20:37.959 --> 00:20:38.339
 that this

00:20:38.339 --> 00:20:38.559
 should be

00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:39.000
 the first

00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:39.299
 thing

00:20:39.299 --> 00:20:39.959
 that we

00:20:39.959 --> 00:20:40.479
 ask God

00:20:40.479 --> 00:20:40.779
 for

00:20:40.779 --> 00:20:42.359
 before we

00:20:42.359 --> 00:20:42.679
 can even

00:20:42.679 --> 00:20:43.299
 expect to

00:20:43.299 --> 00:20:43.979
 receive anything

00:20:43.979 --> 00:20:44.459
 else from

00:20:44.459 --> 00:20:44.719
 God

00:20:44.720 --> 00:20:45.100
 we need

00:20:45.100 --> 00:20:46.100
 to first

00:20:46.100 --> 00:20:47.299
 ask God

00:20:47.299 --> 00:20:47.720
 to forgive

00:20:47.720 --> 00:20:48.000
 us of

00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:48.480
 our sins

00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:49.759
 but the

00:20:49.759 --> 00:20:50.220
 truth is

00:20:50.220 --> 00:20:50.660
 it's not

00:20:50.660 --> 00:20:50.980
 how it

00:20:50.980 --> 00:20:51.799
 works in

00:20:51.799 --> 00:20:52.200
 the family

00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:52.700
 of God

00:20:52.700 --> 00:20:54.620
 once we

00:20:54.620 --> 00:20:55.140
 belong to

00:20:55.140 --> 00:20:56.519
 him through

00:20:56.519 --> 00:20:57.299
 Jesus we

00:20:57.299 --> 00:20:57.880
 are part of

00:20:57.880 --> 00:20:58.680
 his family

00:20:58.680 --> 00:21:00.019
 this prayer

00:21:00.019 --> 00:21:00.660
 for forgiveness

00:21:00.660 --> 00:21:01.180
 I don't

00:21:01.180 --> 00:21:02.000
 think is

00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:02.880
 is the

00:21:02.880 --> 00:21:03.720
 first moment

00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:05.120
 of repentance

00:21:05.120 --> 00:21:05.680
 in a

00:21:05.680 --> 00:21:06.140
 believer's

00:21:06.140 --> 00:21:06.500
 life

00:21:06.500 --> 00:21:08.360
 it's not

00:21:08.360 --> 00:21:08.779
 the first

00:21:08.779 --> 00:21:09.240
 time

00:21:09.240 --> 00:21:10.220
 praying this

00:21:10.220 --> 00:21:10.660
 prayer that

00:21:10.660 --> 00:21:10.940
 we would

00:21:10.940 --> 00:21:11.400
 ask for

00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:11.720
 God's

00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:12.079
 forgiveness

00:21:12.079 --> 00:21:13.059
 I think

00:21:13.059 --> 00:21:13.400
 it's here

00:21:13.400 --> 00:21:13.759
 to show

00:21:13.759 --> 00:21:14.100
 us that

00:21:14.099 --> 00:21:14.740
 even after

00:21:14.740 --> 00:21:15.279
 we already

00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:16.259
 have confessed

00:21:16.259 --> 00:21:17.059
 and repented

00:21:17.059 --> 00:21:18.019
 and believed

00:21:18.019 --> 00:21:18.319
 in the

00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:18.579
 Lord

00:21:18.579 --> 00:21:20.259
 we have

00:21:20.259 --> 00:21:20.619
 to come

00:21:20.619 --> 00:21:21.059
 back to

00:21:21.059 --> 00:21:21.279
 God

00:21:21.279 --> 00:21:21.779
 and confess

00:21:21.779 --> 00:21:22.480
 our sins

00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:23.500
 continually

00:21:23.500 --> 00:21:25.359
 and regularly

00:21:25.359 --> 00:21:29.319
 an ordinary

00:21:29.319 --> 00:21:29.719
 human

00:21:29.719 --> 00:21:30.339
 relationship

00:21:30.339 --> 00:21:31.119
 works the

00:21:31.119 --> 00:21:31.399
 same

00:21:31.399 --> 00:21:33.019
 imagine what

00:21:33.019 --> 00:21:33.459
 would happen

00:21:33.459 --> 00:21:33.919
 if you went

00:21:33.919 --> 00:21:34.379
 to a loved

00:21:34.379 --> 00:21:34.799
 one in your

00:21:34.799 --> 00:21:35.439
 family and

00:21:35.439 --> 00:21:36.159
 you said

00:21:36.159 --> 00:21:36.919
 would you

00:21:36.919 --> 00:21:37.479
 please forgive

00:21:37.479 --> 00:21:37.919
 me of

00:21:37.919 --> 00:21:39.079
 everything that

00:21:39.079 --> 00:21:39.759
 I've done

00:21:39.759 --> 00:21:40.419
 wrong against

00:21:40.419 --> 00:21:40.699
 you

00:21:40.699 --> 00:21:41.539
 and they

00:21:41.539 --> 00:21:42.039
 said yeah

00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:43.759
 I will

00:21:43.759 --> 00:21:45.339
 but then as

00:21:45.339 --> 00:21:46.039
 your relationship

00:21:46.039 --> 00:21:46.559
 with them

00:21:46.559 --> 00:21:47.079
 continues

00:21:47.079 --> 00:21:47.740
 you continue

00:21:47.740 --> 00:21:48.159
 to do

00:21:48.160 --> 00:21:48.620
 things

00:21:48.620 --> 00:21:50.080
 to them

00:21:50.080 --> 00:21:56.980
 it's just

00:21:56.980 --> 00:21:57.360
 like at

00:21:57.360 --> 00:21:57.640
 home

00:21:57.640 --> 00:22:05.480
 as your

00:22:05.480 --> 00:22:05.940
 relationship

00:22:05.940 --> 00:22:06.920
 with the

00:22:06.920 --> 00:22:07.500
 person that

00:22:07.500 --> 00:22:07.900
 you

00:22:07.900 --> 00:22:09.360
 ask for

00:22:09.360 --> 00:22:09.759
 forgiveness

00:22:09.759 --> 00:22:10.680
 from

00:22:10.680 --> 00:22:11.680
 continues

00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:12.300
 you continue

00:22:12.300 --> 00:22:12.759
 to do

00:22:12.759 --> 00:22:13.360
 things to

00:22:13.360 --> 00:22:13.800
 them that

00:22:13.800 --> 00:22:14.160
 are wrong

00:22:14.160 --> 00:22:14.620
 you continue

00:22:14.620 --> 00:22:15.060
 to say

00:22:15.060 --> 00:22:15.480
 things to

00:22:15.480 --> 00:22:15.820
 them that

00:22:15.820 --> 00:22:16.460
 are hurtful

00:22:16.460 --> 00:22:17.500
 what if

00:22:17.500 --> 00:22:17.900
 you never

00:22:17.900 --> 00:22:18.480
 apologized

00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:19.259
 or admitted

00:22:19.259 --> 00:22:19.759
 anything

00:22:19.759 --> 00:22:20.620
 that you

00:22:20.620 --> 00:22:21.059
 did wrong

00:22:21.059 --> 00:22:21.360
 to them

00:22:21.360 --> 00:22:21.640
 again

00:22:21.640 --> 00:22:22.120
 because you

00:22:22.120 --> 00:22:22.340
 thought

00:22:22.340 --> 00:22:22.660
 well I

00:22:22.660 --> 00:22:22.960
 did that

00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:23.360
 already

00:22:23.360 --> 00:22:26.019
 that was

00:22:26.019 --> 00:22:26.460
 good enough

00:22:26.460 --> 00:22:26.980
 wasn't it

00:22:26.980 --> 00:22:28.140
 they said

00:22:28.140 --> 00:22:28.720
 they forgave

00:22:28.720 --> 00:22:29.140
 me so

00:22:29.140 --> 00:22:29.500
 what's the

00:22:29.500 --> 00:22:29.779
 need

00:22:29.779 --> 00:22:32.279
 well it's

00:22:32.279 --> 00:22:32.759
 true that

00:22:32.759 --> 00:22:33.500
 God has

00:22:33.500 --> 00:22:34.180
 forgiven us

00:22:34.180 --> 00:22:34.759
 through Christ

00:22:34.759 --> 00:22:35.400
 of all of

00:22:35.400 --> 00:22:36.019
 our sins

00:22:36.019 --> 00:22:37.559
 past

00:22:37.559 --> 00:22:38.319
 present

00:22:38.319 --> 00:22:38.940
 and future

00:22:38.940 --> 00:22:40.799
 and that

00:22:40.799 --> 00:22:41.120
 when we

00:22:41.120 --> 00:22:41.720
 repent and

00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:42.120
 we put

00:22:42.120 --> 00:22:42.680
 our faith

00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:43.019
 in him

00:22:43.019 --> 00:22:43.279
 that

00:22:43.279 --> 00:22:43.740
 forgiveness

00:22:43.740 --> 00:22:44.279
 is ours

00:22:44.279 --> 00:22:44.660
 but that

00:22:44.660 --> 00:22:44.980
 has to

00:22:44.980 --> 00:22:45.240
 do

00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:46.319
 with

00:22:46.319 --> 00:22:46.500
 our

00:22:46.500 --> 00:22:46.980
 status

00:22:46.980 --> 00:22:47.259
 with

00:22:47.259 --> 00:22:47.639
 God

00:22:47.639 --> 00:22:49.700
 our

00:22:49.700 --> 00:22:50.159
 standing

00:22:50.159 --> 00:22:50.439
 with

00:22:50.439 --> 00:22:50.619
 him

00:22:50.619 --> 00:22:51.059
 there

00:22:51.059 --> 00:22:51.359
 is

00:22:51.359 --> 00:22:51.679
 still

00:22:51.679 --> 00:22:51.980
 that

00:22:51.980 --> 00:22:52.500
 real

00:22:52.500 --> 00:22:53.019
 daily

00:22:53.019 --> 00:22:53.679
 relationship

00:22:53.679 --> 00:22:55.000
 that we

00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:55.299
 have

00:22:55.299 --> 00:22:55.559
 with

00:22:55.559 --> 00:22:56.059
 God

00:22:56.059 --> 00:22:56.379
 where we

00:22:56.379 --> 00:22:56.679
 need to

00:22:56.679 --> 00:22:57.139
 admit to

00:22:57.139 --> 00:22:57.359
 him

00:22:57.359 --> 00:22:57.759
 when we've

00:22:57.759 --> 00:22:58.099
 sinned

00:22:58.099 --> 00:22:58.700
 and ask

00:22:58.700 --> 00:22:59.059
 for his

00:22:59.059 --> 00:22:59.480
 forgiveness

00:22:59.480 --> 00:23:01.960
 that's how

00:23:01.960 --> 00:23:02.259
 a real

00:23:02.259 --> 00:23:02.819
 relationship

00:23:02.819 --> 00:23:03.379
 works

00:23:03.379 --> 00:23:04.939
 and so

00:23:04.939 --> 00:23:05.240
 Jesus

00:23:05.240 --> 00:23:05.799
 taught his

00:23:05.799 --> 00:23:06.259
 disciples

00:23:06.259 --> 00:23:07.200
 to regularly

00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:08.079
 ask God

00:23:08.079 --> 00:23:09.279
 for forgiveness

00:23:09.279 --> 00:23:10.119
 for their

00:23:10.119 --> 00:23:10.480
 sins

00:23:10.480 --> 00:23:12.659
 and again

00:23:12.659 --> 00:23:13.139
 this is a

00:23:13.139 --> 00:23:13.419
 sort of

00:23:13.419 --> 00:23:13.759
 general

00:23:13.759 --> 00:23:14.339
 request

00:23:14.339 --> 00:23:16.559
 but as

00:23:16.559 --> 00:23:16.859
 with the

00:23:16.859 --> 00:23:17.099
 bread

00:23:17.099 --> 00:23:17.539
 I think

00:23:17.539 --> 00:23:18.099
 there's a

00:23:18.099 --> 00:23:18.399
 sort of

00:23:18.399 --> 00:23:18.740
 principle

00:23:18.740 --> 00:23:19.220
 here

00:23:19.220 --> 00:23:21.659
 we ask

00:23:21.659 --> 00:23:22.500
 sometimes

00:23:22.500 --> 00:23:23.279
 just very

00:23:23.279 --> 00:23:23.699
 generally

00:23:23.699 --> 00:23:24.259
 would you

00:23:24.259 --> 00:23:24.679
 forgive me

00:23:24.679 --> 00:23:24.980
 of my

00:23:24.980 --> 00:23:25.399
 sins

00:23:25.399 --> 00:23:27.240
 knowing that

00:23:27.240 --> 00:23:27.659
 we can't

00:23:27.659 --> 00:23:28.199
 even begin

00:23:28.199 --> 00:23:28.720
 to name

00:23:28.720 --> 00:23:29.240
 or count

00:23:29.240 --> 00:23:29.939
 or remember

00:23:29.939 --> 00:23:30.480
 them all

00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:32.500
 but I think

00:23:32.500 --> 00:23:33.099
 the principle

00:23:33.099 --> 00:23:33.959
 here

00:23:33.959 --> 00:23:34.740
 implies

00:23:34.740 --> 00:23:35.500
 that we

00:23:35.500 --> 00:23:35.959
 would also

00:23:35.959 --> 00:23:36.480
 at times

00:23:36.480 --> 00:23:36.919
 confess

00:23:36.919 --> 00:23:37.679
 specifics

00:23:37.680 --> 00:23:39.940
 there's

00:23:39.940 --> 00:23:40.360
 specific

00:23:40.360 --> 00:23:40.759
 things

00:23:40.759 --> 00:23:41.100
 you know

00:23:41.100 --> 00:23:41.560
 that you've

00:23:41.560 --> 00:23:41.720
 done

00:23:41.720 --> 00:23:42.039
 wrong

00:23:42.039 --> 00:23:42.360
 I think

00:23:42.360 --> 00:23:42.560
 it's

00:23:42.560 --> 00:23:42.920
 implied

00:23:42.920 --> 00:23:43.259
 that

00:23:43.259 --> 00:23:43.779
 here

00:23:43.779 --> 00:23:44.500
 as we

00:23:44.500 --> 00:23:44.779
 pray

00:23:44.779 --> 00:23:45.180
 that would

00:23:45.180 --> 00:23:45.480
 be the

00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:45.840
 moment

00:23:45.840 --> 00:23:46.580
 yes

00:23:46.580 --> 00:23:47.759
 confess

00:23:47.759 --> 00:23:48.100
 those

00:23:48.100 --> 00:23:48.360
 things

00:23:48.360 --> 00:23:48.860
 to God

00:23:48.860 --> 00:23:51.000
 ask

00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:51.360
 for his

00:23:51.360 --> 00:23:51.799
 forgiveness

00:23:51.799 --> 00:23:57.180
 and

00:23:57.180 --> 00:23:57.900
 it's not

00:23:57.900 --> 00:23:58.759
 stated here

00:23:58.759 --> 00:23:59.440
 but I think

00:23:59.440 --> 00:24:00.080
 it's implied

00:24:00.080 --> 00:24:01.380
 it's also

00:24:01.380 --> 00:24:02.060
 taught elsewhere

00:24:02.060 --> 00:24:02.680
 that God

00:24:02.680 --> 00:24:03.299
 does not

00:24:03.299 --> 00:24:03.799
 withhold

00:24:03.799 --> 00:24:04.620
 forgiveness

00:24:04.620 --> 00:24:05.220
 from us

00:24:05.220 --> 00:24:05.560
 when we

00:24:05.560 --> 00:24:06.019
 sincerely

00:24:06.019 --> 00:24:06.640
 ask for

00:24:06.640 --> 00:24:06.820
 it

00:24:06.819 --> 00:24:09.379
 he is

00:24:09.379 --> 00:24:09.720
 gracious

00:24:09.720 --> 00:24:10.339
 to forgive

00:24:10.339 --> 00:24:10.720
 us

00:24:10.720 --> 00:24:11.859
 when we

00:24:11.859 --> 00:24:12.240
 confess

00:24:12.240 --> 00:24:12.740
 our sins

00:24:12.740 --> 00:24:13.299
 to him

00:24:13.299 --> 00:24:14.819
 you see

00:24:14.819 --> 00:24:15.119
 that in

00:24:15.119 --> 00:24:15.299
 first

00:24:15.299 --> 00:24:15.559
 John

00:24:15.559 --> 00:24:16.079
 1 9

00:24:16.079 --> 00:24:16.960
 Jesus

00:24:16.960 --> 00:24:17.819
 has made

00:24:17.819 --> 00:24:18.319
 atonement

00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:18.799
 for our

00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:19.059
 sins

00:24:19.059 --> 00:24:19.579
 once and

00:24:19.579 --> 00:24:20.039
 for all

00:24:20.039 --> 00:24:20.859
 and so

00:24:20.859 --> 00:24:21.299
 God can

00:24:21.299 --> 00:24:21.579
 simply

00:24:21.579 --> 00:24:22.099
 grant us

00:24:22.099 --> 00:24:22.519
 forgiveness

00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:23.240
 whenever we

00:24:23.240 --> 00:24:23.639
 ask

00:24:23.639 --> 00:24:26.519
 what's

00:24:26.519 --> 00:24:27.019
 particularly

00:24:27.019 --> 00:24:27.839
 interesting

00:24:27.839 --> 00:24:28.539
 about this

00:24:28.539 --> 00:24:29.240
 part of the

00:24:29.240 --> 00:24:29.539
 prayer

00:24:29.539 --> 00:24:30.460
 this request

00:24:30.460 --> 00:24:31.779
 is that

00:24:31.779 --> 00:24:32.379
 unlike the

00:24:32.379 --> 00:24:33.039
 other things

00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:33.859
 asked for

00:24:33.859 --> 00:24:35.240
 this thing

00:24:35.240 --> 00:24:35.720
 comes with

00:24:35.720 --> 00:24:36.359
 an add-on

00:24:36.359 --> 00:24:39.399
 forgive us

00:24:39.399 --> 00:24:40.039
 our sins

00:24:40.039 --> 00:24:42.240
 for we

00:24:42.240 --> 00:24:43.059
 also forgive

00:24:43.059 --> 00:24:43.619
 everyone

00:24:43.619 --> 00:24:44.479
 who sins

00:24:44.479 --> 00:24:45.639
 against us

00:24:45.639 --> 00:24:47.879
 there's this

00:24:47.879 --> 00:24:48.459
 add-on

00:24:48.459 --> 00:24:50.500
 it's maybe a

00:24:50.500 --> 00:24:51.159
 little strange

00:24:51.159 --> 00:24:51.879
 and unexpected

00:24:51.879 --> 00:24:53.799
 we probably

00:24:53.799 --> 00:24:54.379
 wouldn't put

00:24:54.379 --> 00:24:54.839
 this into

00:24:54.839 --> 00:24:55.359
 the prayer

00:24:55.359 --> 00:24:56.719
 except that

00:24:56.719 --> 00:24:57.659
 Jesus told

00:24:57.659 --> 00:24:58.099
 us to

00:24:58.099 --> 00:25:01.059
 we might be

00:25:01.059 --> 00:25:01.539
 tempted to

00:25:01.539 --> 00:25:02.019
 think of our

00:25:02.019 --> 00:25:02.579
 relationships

00:25:02.579 --> 00:25:03.059
 with other

00:25:03.059 --> 00:25:03.559
 people as

00:25:03.559 --> 00:25:04.139
 having nothing

00:25:04.139 --> 00:25:04.779
 to do with

00:25:04.779 --> 00:25:05.459
 our relationship

00:25:05.460 --> 00:25:06.100
 with God

00:25:06.100 --> 00:25:09.059
 and whether

00:25:09.059 --> 00:25:09.799
 God forgives

00:25:09.799 --> 00:25:10.400
 me of my

00:25:10.400 --> 00:25:11.019
 sins when I

00:25:11.019 --> 00:25:11.559
 ask him

00:25:11.559 --> 00:25:13.120
 has nothing

00:25:13.120 --> 00:25:13.680
 to do with

00:25:13.680 --> 00:25:14.140
 whether I

00:25:14.140 --> 00:25:14.940
 forgive others

00:25:14.940 --> 00:25:15.700
 who sin

00:25:15.700 --> 00:25:16.279
 against me

00:25:16.279 --> 00:25:16.740
 when they

00:25:16.740 --> 00:25:17.720
 ask me

00:25:17.720 --> 00:25:18.079
 right

00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:20.819
 those are

00:25:20.819 --> 00:25:21.360
 two separate

00:25:21.360 --> 00:25:22.019
 relationships

00:25:22.019 --> 00:25:22.579
 aren't they

00:25:22.579 --> 00:25:25.500
 but the way

00:25:25.500 --> 00:25:26.259
 Jesus teaches

00:25:26.259 --> 00:25:26.919
 us to pray

00:25:26.919 --> 00:25:27.339
 here

00:25:27.339 --> 00:25:28.639
 forces us

00:25:28.639 --> 00:25:29.240
 to think

00:25:29.240 --> 00:25:30.299
 right in the

00:25:30.299 --> 00:25:30.839
 moment when

00:25:30.839 --> 00:25:31.399
 we're asking

00:25:31.399 --> 00:25:31.819
 for his

00:25:31.819 --> 00:25:32.240
 forgiveness

00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:33.720
 of how we're

00:25:33.720 --> 00:25:34.019
 treating

00:25:34.019 --> 00:25:34.519
 others

00:25:34.519 --> 00:25:38.740
 it's almost

00:25:38.740 --> 00:25:39.339
 as if Jesus

00:25:39.339 --> 00:25:39.939
 is saying

00:25:39.939 --> 00:25:41.460
 do not

00:25:41.460 --> 00:25:42.419
 expect to

00:25:42.419 --> 00:25:43.319
 receive forgiveness

00:25:43.319 --> 00:25:44.099
 from God

00:25:44.099 --> 00:25:45.539
 for your sins

00:25:45.539 --> 00:25:46.659
 if you're not

00:25:46.659 --> 00:25:47.220
 willing to

00:25:47.220 --> 00:25:47.720
 grant the

00:25:47.720 --> 00:25:48.639
 same to

00:25:48.639 --> 00:25:49.240
 others who

00:25:49.240 --> 00:25:49.699
 have sinned

00:25:49.700 --> 00:25:50.360
 against you

00:25:50.360 --> 00:25:56.140
 so every

00:25:56.140 --> 00:25:56.539
 time you

00:25:56.539 --> 00:25:56.880
 come to

00:25:56.880 --> 00:25:57.460
 God asking

00:25:57.460 --> 00:25:58.120
 for forgiveness

00:25:58.120 --> 00:25:58.720
 think of

00:25:58.720 --> 00:25:59.500
 those who

00:25:59.500 --> 00:25:59.940
 have sinned

00:25:59.940 --> 00:26:00.620
 against you

00:26:00.620 --> 00:26:02.140
 and have

00:26:02.140 --> 00:26:02.700
 you forgiven

00:26:02.700 --> 00:26:03.080
 them

00:26:03.080 --> 00:26:09.039
 basically we're

00:26:09.039 --> 00:26:09.340
 praying

00:26:09.340 --> 00:26:10.160
 father treat

00:26:10.160 --> 00:26:12.000
 me as I

00:26:12.000 --> 00:26:12.480
 have treated

00:26:12.480 --> 00:26:12.980
 others

00:26:12.980 --> 00:26:17.000
 forgive me

00:26:17.000 --> 00:26:17.640
 just as I

00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:18.319
 also forgive

00:26:18.319 --> 00:26:18.920
 those who

00:26:18.920 --> 00:26:19.519
 sin against

00:26:19.519 --> 00:26:19.920
 me

00:26:19.920 --> 00:26:25.279
 can you

00:26:25.279 --> 00:26:26.019
 honestly pray

00:26:26.019 --> 00:26:26.559
 this prayer

00:26:26.559 --> 00:26:27.680
 if you're

00:26:27.680 --> 00:26:28.180
 withholding

00:26:28.180 --> 00:26:28.579
 forgiveness

00:26:28.579 --> 00:26:29.279
 from someone

00:26:29.279 --> 00:26:35.680
 if you're

00:26:35.680 --> 00:26:36.099
 holding a

00:26:36.099 --> 00:26:36.519
 grudge

00:26:36.519 --> 00:26:39.400
 if you're

00:26:39.400 --> 00:26:39.819
 keeping a

00:26:39.819 --> 00:26:40.360
 record of

00:26:40.360 --> 00:26:41.039
 wrongs

00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:42.059
 and grievances

00:26:42.059 --> 00:26:42.700
 and offenses

00:26:42.700 --> 00:26:43.299
 in your

00:26:43.299 --> 00:26:43.680
 heart

00:26:43.680 --> 00:26:45.019
 with someone

00:26:45.019 --> 00:26:48.319
 if there's

00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:48.819
 one thing

00:26:48.819 --> 00:26:49.380
 that God's

00:26:49.380 --> 00:26:50.080
 children must

00:26:50.080 --> 00:26:50.519
 be known

00:26:50.519 --> 00:26:50.840
 for

00:26:50.840 --> 00:26:52.360
 it's

00:26:52.360 --> 00:26:52.799
 forgiving

00:26:52.799 --> 00:26:54.840
 forgiving

00:26:54.840 --> 00:26:55.460
 one another

00:26:55.460 --> 00:26:57.180
 this is so

00:26:57.180 --> 00:26:57.759
 significant

00:26:57.759 --> 00:26:58.460
 that Jesus

00:26:58.460 --> 00:26:59.220
 when he's

00:26:59.220 --> 00:26:59.720
 teaching on

00:26:59.720 --> 00:27:00.080
 the other

00:27:00.080 --> 00:27:00.519
 occasion

00:27:00.519 --> 00:27:00.840
 in the

00:27:00.840 --> 00:27:01.220
 Sermon on

00:27:01.220 --> 00:27:01.600
 the Mount

00:27:01.600 --> 00:27:03.259
 this part

00:27:03.259 --> 00:27:03.480
 of the

00:27:03.480 --> 00:27:03.700
 prayer

00:27:03.700 --> 00:27:04.240
 he actually

00:27:04.240 --> 00:27:04.940
 elaborates

00:27:04.940 --> 00:27:05.319
 on this

00:27:05.319 --> 00:27:05.700
 point

00:27:05.700 --> 00:27:06.860
 and he

00:27:06.860 --> 00:27:07.400
 says this

00:27:07.400 --> 00:27:07.840
 in Matthew

00:27:07.840 --> 00:27:08.380
 6

00:27:08.380 --> 00:27:09.360
 verse 14

00:27:09.360 --> 00:27:10.819
 he says

00:27:10.819 --> 00:27:11.360
 for if you

00:27:11.360 --> 00:27:12.000
 forgive other

00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:12.480
 people

00:27:12.480 --> 00:27:13.160
 when they

00:27:13.160 --> 00:27:13.740
 sin against

00:27:13.740 --> 00:27:14.120
 you

00:27:14.120 --> 00:27:15.500
 your heavenly

00:27:15.500 --> 00:27:16.140
 father will

00:27:16.140 --> 00:27:16.819
 also forgive

00:27:16.819 --> 00:27:17.160
 you

00:27:17.160 --> 00:27:19.220
 but if you

00:27:19.220 --> 00:27:19.640
 do not

00:27:19.640 --> 00:27:20.319
 forgive others

00:27:20.319 --> 00:27:21.039
 their sins

00:27:21.039 --> 00:27:22.599
 your father

00:27:22.599 --> 00:27:23.140
 will not

00:27:23.140 --> 00:27:24.079
 forgive your

00:27:24.079 --> 00:27:24.579
 sins

00:27:24.579 --> 00:27:28.960
 that's a scary

00:27:28.960 --> 00:27:29.579
 thought isn't

00:27:29.579 --> 00:27:30.220
 it

00:27:30.220 --> 00:27:32.819
 if you

00:27:32.819 --> 00:27:33.339
 withhold

00:27:33.339 --> 00:27:33.880
 forgiveness

00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:34.620
 from others

00:27:34.620 --> 00:27:35.480
 when they

00:27:35.480 --> 00:27:36.079
 sin against

00:27:36.079 --> 00:27:36.460
 you

00:27:36.460 --> 00:27:38.039
 God

00:27:38.039 --> 00:27:38.640
 will withhold

00:27:38.640 --> 00:27:39.120
 forgiveness

00:27:39.120 --> 00:27:39.700
 from you

00:27:39.700 --> 00:27:43.720
 this is

00:27:43.720 --> 00:27:43.980
 one of

00:27:43.980 --> 00:27:44.160
 those

00:27:44.160 --> 00:27:44.500
 truths

00:27:44.500 --> 00:27:44.799
 in the

00:27:44.799 --> 00:27:45.039
 Bible

00:27:45.039 --> 00:27:45.579
 that makes

00:27:45.579 --> 00:27:45.779
 us

00:27:45.779 --> 00:27:46.160
 squirm

00:27:46.160 --> 00:27:48.240
 it

00:27:48.240 --> 00:27:48.840
 unsettles

00:27:48.840 --> 00:27:49.240
 us

00:27:49.240 --> 00:27:51.539
 what about

00:27:51.539 --> 00:27:51.940
 the many

00:27:51.940 --> 00:27:52.460
 assurances

00:27:52.460 --> 00:27:52.920
 we have

00:27:52.920 --> 00:27:53.579
 of salvation

00:27:53.579 --> 00:27:54.279
 what about

00:27:54.279 --> 00:27:54.960
 the doctrine

00:27:54.960 --> 00:27:55.539
 of eternal

00:27:55.539 --> 00:27:56.200
 security

00:27:56.200 --> 00:27:59.059
 well it

00:27:59.059 --> 00:27:59.600
 seems to me

00:27:59.600 --> 00:28:00.059
 that those

00:28:00.059 --> 00:28:00.600
 offer no

00:28:00.600 --> 00:28:01.039
 guarantees

00:28:01.039 --> 00:28:01.519
 to the

00:28:01.519 --> 00:28:01.880
 person

00:28:01.880 --> 00:28:02.539
 who will

00:28:02.539 --> 00:28:02.900
 not

00:28:02.900 --> 00:28:03.380
 forgive

00:28:03.380 --> 00:28:05.740
 I don't

00:28:05.740 --> 00:28:06.020
 know how

00:28:06.020 --> 00:28:06.380
 else to

00:28:06.380 --> 00:28:06.860
 take those

00:28:06.860 --> 00:28:07.220
 words

00:28:07.220 --> 00:28:10.360
 a true

00:28:10.360 --> 00:28:10.980
 child of

00:28:10.980 --> 00:28:11.320
 God

00:28:11.320 --> 00:28:12.460
 must

00:28:12.460 --> 00:28:15.260
 and will

00:28:15.260 --> 00:28:16.000
 forgive

00:28:16.000 --> 00:28:16.960
 those who

00:28:16.960 --> 00:28:17.500
 sin against

00:28:17.500 --> 00:28:17.800
 them

00:28:17.800 --> 00:28:20.140
 if they

00:28:20.140 --> 00:28:20.940
 persist in

00:28:20.940 --> 00:28:21.620
 stubbornly

00:28:21.620 --> 00:28:22.180
 refusing

00:28:22.180 --> 00:28:22.740
 forgiveness

00:28:22.740 --> 00:28:23.820
 then whether

00:28:23.820 --> 00:28:24.360
 they truly

00:28:24.360 --> 00:28:25.020
 know God

00:28:25.020 --> 00:28:25.380
 and his

00:28:25.380 --> 00:28:25.820
 gracious

00:28:25.820 --> 00:28:26.400
 gospel

00:28:26.400 --> 00:28:27.680
 is in

00:28:27.680 --> 00:28:28.080
 question

00:28:28.080 --> 00:28:31.340
 this is

00:28:31.340 --> 00:28:31.600
 further

00:28:31.600 --> 00:28:32.060
 reinforced

00:28:32.060 --> 00:28:32.780
 by Jesus

00:28:32.780 --> 00:28:33.300
 parable

00:28:33.299 --> 00:28:33.639
 of the

00:28:33.639 --> 00:28:34.339
 unmerciful

00:28:34.339 --> 00:28:34.779
 servant

00:28:34.779 --> 00:28:35.139
 in

00:28:35.139 --> 00:28:35.879
 Matthew

00:28:35.879 --> 00:28:36.440
 18

00:28:36.440 --> 00:28:40.519
 finally

00:28:40.519 --> 00:28:41.180
 Jesus

00:28:41.180 --> 00:28:43.299
 teaches

00:28:43.299 --> 00:28:43.700
 us to

00:28:43.700 --> 00:28:44.000
 pray

00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:45.500
 these last

00:28:45.500 --> 00:28:45.919
 words in

00:28:45.919 --> 00:28:46.299
 the prayer

00:28:46.299 --> 00:28:47.019
 in Luke's

00:28:47.019 --> 00:28:47.399
 gospel

00:28:47.399 --> 00:28:48.279
 lead us

00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:48.659
 not

00:28:48.659 --> 00:28:49.000
 into

00:28:49.000 --> 00:28:49.579
 temptation

00:28:49.579 --> 00:28:53.079
 what is

00:28:53.079 --> 00:28:53.359
 it that

00:28:53.359 --> 00:28:53.940
 causes us

00:28:53.940 --> 00:28:54.399
 to sin

00:28:54.399 --> 00:28:54.680
 in the

00:28:54.680 --> 00:28:54.899
 first

00:28:54.899 --> 00:28:55.319
 place

00:28:55.319 --> 00:28:57.839
 how do

00:28:57.839 --> 00:28:58.119
 we get

00:28:58.119 --> 00:28:58.440
 to that

00:28:58.440 --> 00:28:58.759
 place

00:28:58.759 --> 00:28:59.119
 where we

00:28:59.119 --> 00:28:59.639
 choose

00:28:59.639 --> 00:29:00.919
 to do

00:29:00.919 --> 00:29:02.779
 the wrong

00:29:02.779 --> 00:29:03.180
 thing

00:29:03.180 --> 00:29:05.640
 temptation

00:29:05.640 --> 00:29:06.480
 is part

00:29:06.480 --> 00:29:06.700
 of the

00:29:06.700 --> 00:29:07.279
 process

00:29:07.279 --> 00:29:08.000
 it's

00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:08.340
 kind of

00:29:08.340 --> 00:29:08.620
 somewhere

00:29:08.620 --> 00:29:09.140
 in there

00:29:09.140 --> 00:29:09.480
 on the

00:29:09.480 --> 00:29:09.779
 way

00:29:09.779 --> 00:29:10.100
 to

00:29:10.100 --> 00:29:10.380
 doing

00:29:10.380 --> 00:29:10.759
 it

00:29:10.759 --> 00:29:12.299
 James

00:29:12.299 --> 00:29:12.640
 actually

00:29:12.640 --> 00:29:13.160
 describes

00:29:13.160 --> 00:29:13.320
 this

00:29:13.320 --> 00:29:13.539
 quite

00:29:13.539 --> 00:29:14.039
 vividly

00:29:14.039 --> 00:29:14.500
 in his

00:29:14.500 --> 00:29:14.980
 letter

00:29:14.980 --> 00:29:15.440
 in James

00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:15.759
 chapter

00:29:15.759 --> 00:29:16.140
 one

00:29:16.140 --> 00:29:17.060
 he says

00:29:17.059 --> 00:29:17.639
 when

00:29:17.639 --> 00:29:18.059
 when tempted

00:29:18.059 --> 00:29:18.059


00:29:18.059 --> 00:29:19.000
 no one

00:29:19.000 --> 00:29:19.559
 should say

00:29:19.559 --> 00:29:20.460
 God is

00:29:20.460 --> 00:29:20.799
 tempting

00:29:20.799 --> 00:29:21.099
 me

00:29:21.099 --> 00:29:22.740
 for God

00:29:22.740 --> 00:29:23.379
 cannot be

00:29:23.379 --> 00:29:23.700
 tempted

00:29:23.700 --> 00:29:24.460
 by evil

00:29:24.460 --> 00:29:26.039
 nor does

00:29:26.039 --> 00:29:26.859
 he tempt

00:29:26.859 --> 00:29:27.399
 anyone

00:29:27.399 --> 00:29:28.879
 but each

00:29:28.879 --> 00:29:29.559
 person is

00:29:29.559 --> 00:29:30.200
 tempted when

00:29:30.200 --> 00:29:30.799
 they're dragged

00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:32.059
 away by their

00:29:32.059 --> 00:29:32.759
 own evil

00:29:32.759 --> 00:29:33.299
 desire

00:29:33.299 --> 00:29:34.639
 and enticed

00:29:34.640 --> 00:29:36.420
 then

00:29:36.420 --> 00:29:37.100
 after desire

00:29:37.100 --> 00:29:38.000
 has conceived

00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:38.740
 it gives

00:29:38.740 --> 00:29:39.280
 birth to

00:29:39.280 --> 00:29:39.580
 sin

00:29:39.580 --> 00:29:40.960
 and sin

00:29:40.960 --> 00:29:41.500
 when it is

00:29:41.500 --> 00:29:42.020
 full grown

00:29:42.020 --> 00:29:42.660
 gives birth

00:29:42.660 --> 00:29:43.400
 to death

00:29:43.400 --> 00:29:46.280
 James

00:29:46.280 --> 00:29:46.840
 describes

00:29:46.840 --> 00:29:47.540
 temptation

00:29:47.540 --> 00:29:48.759
 as being

00:29:48.759 --> 00:29:49.440
 dragged

00:29:49.440 --> 00:29:49.980
 away

00:29:49.980 --> 00:29:51.380
 by our

00:29:51.380 --> 00:29:52.020
 own evil

00:29:52.020 --> 00:29:52.680
 desires

00:29:52.680 --> 00:29:54.740
 we might

00:29:54.740 --> 00:29:55.100
 call it

00:29:55.100 --> 00:29:55.740
 temptation

00:29:55.740 --> 00:29:56.400
 from the

00:29:56.400 --> 00:29:56.940
 inside

00:29:56.940 --> 00:29:59.720
 but we

00:29:59.720 --> 00:30:00.240
 also know

00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:00.500
 that we

00:30:00.500 --> 00:30:00.800
 can be

00:30:00.800 --> 00:30:01.060
 tempted

00:30:01.060 --> 00:30:01.500
 from the

00:30:01.500 --> 00:30:01.860
 outside

00:30:01.860 --> 00:30:02.500
 as well

00:30:02.500 --> 00:30:03.220
 from other

00:30:03.220 --> 00:30:03.620
 people

00:30:03.620 --> 00:30:04.779
 and from

00:30:04.779 --> 00:30:05.240
 the devil

00:30:05.240 --> 00:30:07.160
 we heard

00:30:07.160 --> 00:30:07.640
 earlier in

00:30:07.640 --> 00:30:08.039
 Luke about

00:30:08.039 --> 00:30:08.400
 how the

00:30:08.400 --> 00:30:08.660
 devil

00:30:08.660 --> 00:30:09.039
 tempted

00:30:09.039 --> 00:30:09.620
 Jesus

00:30:09.620 --> 00:30:12.519
 whatever

00:30:12.519 --> 00:30:13.160
 the source

00:30:13.160 --> 00:30:13.860
 of temptation

00:30:13.860 --> 00:30:14.920
 whether it's

00:30:14.920 --> 00:30:15.539
 inside

00:30:15.539 --> 00:30:16.559
 or outside

00:30:16.559 --> 00:30:18.420
 temptation

00:30:18.420 --> 00:30:19.559
 is sort

00:30:19.559 --> 00:30:19.819
 of the

00:30:19.819 --> 00:30:20.480
 last moment

00:30:20.480 --> 00:30:21.100
 of struggle

00:30:21.100 --> 00:30:22.539
 before we

00:30:22.539 --> 00:30:22.819
 sin

00:30:22.819 --> 00:30:25.220
 and here

00:30:25.220 --> 00:30:25.579
 Jesus

00:30:25.579 --> 00:30:26.220
 teaches us

00:30:26.220 --> 00:30:26.640
 to pray

00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:26.960
 and to

00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:27.880
 ask God

00:30:27.880 --> 00:30:28.420
 for help

00:30:28.420 --> 00:30:28.960
 in those

00:30:28.960 --> 00:30:30.240
 for those

00:30:30.240 --> 00:30:30.660
 moments

00:30:30.660 --> 00:30:31.480
 even before

00:30:31.480 --> 00:30:31.960
 we're tempted

00:30:31.960 --> 00:30:32.420
 to sin

00:30:32.420 --> 00:30:32.720
 we're to

00:30:32.720 --> 00:30:33.200
 ask God

00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:33.720
 to watch

00:30:33.720 --> 00:30:34.220
 over our

00:30:34.220 --> 00:30:34.640
 path

00:30:34.640 --> 00:30:39.160
 lead us

00:30:39.160 --> 00:30:39.559
 such that

00:30:39.559 --> 00:30:39.840
 we will

00:30:39.840 --> 00:30:40.200
 not even

00:30:40.200 --> 00:30:40.960
 get close

00:30:40.960 --> 00:30:43.220
 to sin

00:30:43.220 --> 00:30:44.080
 against you

00:30:44.080 --> 00:30:45.259
 let me

00:30:45.259 --> 00:30:45.799
 not be

00:30:45.799 --> 00:30:46.519
 dragged

00:30:46.519 --> 00:30:46.840
 away

00:30:46.840 --> 00:30:47.259
 by my

00:30:47.259 --> 00:30:47.519
 own

00:30:47.519 --> 00:30:47.880
 evil

00:30:47.880 --> 00:30:48.340
 desires

00:30:48.340 --> 00:30:49.039
 steer me

00:30:49.039 --> 00:30:49.319
 away

00:30:49.319 --> 00:30:49.759
 from the

00:30:49.759 --> 00:30:50.200
 moments

00:30:50.200 --> 00:30:50.600
 and the

00:30:50.600 --> 00:30:51.019
 places

00:30:51.019 --> 00:30:52.120
 where I

00:30:52.120 --> 00:30:52.440
 will be

00:30:52.440 --> 00:30:53.039
 bombarded

00:30:53.039 --> 00:30:53.819
 by external

00:30:53.819 --> 00:30:54.600
 temptations

00:30:54.600 --> 00:30:55.080
 such that

00:30:55.080 --> 00:30:55.420
 I might

00:30:55.420 --> 00:30:56.019
 give in

00:30:56.019 --> 00:30:56.460
 and do

00:30:56.460 --> 00:30:56.759
 what's

00:30:56.759 --> 00:30:57.059
 wrong

00:30:57.059 --> 00:31:00.819
 there's

00:31:00.819 --> 00:31:01.100
 sort of

00:31:01.100 --> 00:31:01.720
 an earnestness

00:31:01.720 --> 00:31:02.080
 in these

00:31:02.080 --> 00:31:02.420
 words

00:31:02.420 --> 00:31:03.440
 just to

00:31:03.440 --> 00:31:03.779
 please

00:31:03.779 --> 00:31:04.220
 God

00:31:04.220 --> 00:31:05.600
 and do

00:31:05.600 --> 00:31:05.860
 what's

00:31:05.860 --> 00:31:06.120
 right

00:31:06.120 --> 00:31:06.600
 and not

00:31:06.600 --> 00:31:07.039
 be

00:31:07.039 --> 00:31:08.580
 taken

00:31:08.580 --> 00:31:09.400
 captive

00:31:09.400 --> 00:31:09.820
 again

00:31:09.820 --> 00:31:10.560
 to do

00:31:10.560 --> 00:31:12.019
 what we

00:31:12.019 --> 00:31:12.320
 know is

00:31:12.320 --> 00:31:12.600
 wrong

00:31:12.600 --> 00:31:14.900
 this plea

00:31:14.900 --> 00:31:15.340
 at the end

00:31:15.340 --> 00:31:15.560
 of the

00:31:15.560 --> 00:31:15.779
 prayer

00:31:15.779 --> 00:31:16.140
 here

00:31:16.140 --> 00:31:17.500
 it reminds

00:31:17.500 --> 00:31:17.820
 me of

00:31:17.820 --> 00:31:18.140
 some of

00:31:18.140 --> 00:31:18.560
 David's

00:31:18.560 --> 00:31:18.980
 moments

00:31:18.980 --> 00:31:20.060
 of prayer

00:31:20.060 --> 00:31:20.640
 in the

00:31:20.640 --> 00:31:21.160
 Psalms

00:31:21.160 --> 00:31:22.060
 I think

00:31:22.060 --> 00:31:22.400
 of Psalm

00:31:22.400 --> 00:31:23.160
 119

00:31:23.160 --> 00:31:23.980
 verse 29

00:31:23.980 --> 00:31:27.720
 where he

00:31:27.720 --> 00:31:28.120
 prays

00:31:28.120 --> 00:31:28.579
 keep me

00:31:28.579 --> 00:31:29.420
 from deceitful

00:31:29.420 --> 00:31:29.880
 ways

00:31:29.880 --> 00:31:31.460
 be

00:31:31.460 --> 00:31:31.799
 gracious

00:31:31.799 --> 00:31:32.240
 to me

00:31:32.240 --> 00:31:32.700
 and teach

00:31:32.700 --> 00:31:33.039
 me your

00:31:33.039 --> 00:31:33.380
 law

00:31:33.380 --> 00:31:35.599
 or Psalm

00:31:35.599 --> 00:31:36.180
 119

00:31:36.180 --> 00:31:37.039
 verse 36

00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:38.480
 where David

00:31:38.480 --> 00:31:39.140
 says turn

00:31:39.140 --> 00:31:39.660
 my heart

00:31:39.660 --> 00:31:40.440
 toward your

00:31:40.440 --> 00:31:41.160
 statutes

00:31:41.160 --> 00:31:41.980
 and not

00:31:41.980 --> 00:31:42.940
 toward selfish

00:31:42.940 --> 00:31:43.360
 gain

00:31:43.360 --> 00:31:44.980
 you can

00:31:44.980 --> 00:31:45.420
 almost hear

00:31:45.420 --> 00:31:45.940
 the battle

00:31:45.940 --> 00:31:46.620
 raging in

00:31:46.620 --> 00:31:46.980
 David's

00:31:46.980 --> 00:31:47.380
 heart

00:31:47.380 --> 00:31:48.099
 as he

00:31:48.099 --> 00:31:48.759
 prays this

00:31:48.759 --> 00:31:49.680
 Lord turn

00:31:49.680 --> 00:31:50.259
 my heart

00:31:50.259 --> 00:31:50.579
 I think

00:31:50.579 --> 00:31:50.980
 it's a

00:31:50.980 --> 00:31:51.839
 similar

00:31:51.839 --> 00:31:52.279
 prayer

00:31:52.279 --> 00:31:52.900
 lead us

00:31:52.900 --> 00:31:53.440
 not into

00:31:53.440 --> 00:31:54.099
 temptation

00:31:54.099 --> 00:31:56.359
 work in

00:31:56.359 --> 00:31:56.660
 us that

00:31:56.660 --> 00:31:57.000
 we go

00:31:57.000 --> 00:31:57.400
 the other

00:31:57.400 --> 00:31:57.779
 way

00:31:57.779 --> 00:32:01.480
 do we

00:32:01.480 --> 00:32:01.900
 pray and

00:32:01.900 --> 00:32:02.379
 ask God

00:32:02.379 --> 00:32:02.940
 regularly

00:32:02.940 --> 00:32:03.599
 for help

00:32:03.599 --> 00:32:04.259
 to overcome

00:32:04.259 --> 00:32:04.740
 sin

00:32:04.740 --> 00:32:06.579
 and temptation

00:32:06.579 --> 00:32:09.359
 God is

00:32:09.359 --> 00:32:09.879
 eager to

00:32:09.879 --> 00:32:10.220
 give us

00:32:10.220 --> 00:32:10.680
 that help

00:32:10.680 --> 00:32:14.039
 so these

00:32:14.039 --> 00:32:14.259
 are the

00:32:14.259 --> 00:32:14.619
 kinds of

00:32:14.619 --> 00:32:15.059
 things that

00:32:15.059 --> 00:32:15.460
 we should

00:32:15.460 --> 00:32:16.079
 say to

00:32:16.079 --> 00:32:16.359
 God

00:32:16.359 --> 00:32:16.960
 according to

00:32:16.960 --> 00:32:17.259
 Jesus

00:32:17.259 --> 00:32:17.720
 when we

00:32:17.720 --> 00:32:18.019
 pray

00:32:18.019 --> 00:32:19.140
 just in

00:32:19.140 --> 00:32:19.440
 summary

00:32:19.440 --> 00:32:19.960
 we should

00:32:19.960 --> 00:32:20.420
 acknowledge

00:32:20.420 --> 00:32:20.740
 him

00:32:20.740 --> 00:32:22.819
 we should

00:32:22.819 --> 00:32:23.240
 remember

00:32:23.240 --> 00:32:23.759
 who he

00:32:23.759 --> 00:32:24.100
 is

00:32:24.100 --> 00:32:25.960
 we should

00:32:25.960 --> 00:32:26.420
 express

00:32:26.420 --> 00:32:27.059
 our desire

00:32:27.059 --> 00:32:27.559
 for his

00:32:27.559 --> 00:32:28.079
 name to

00:32:28.079 --> 00:32:28.640
 be honored

00:32:28.640 --> 00:32:30.539
 and for

00:32:30.539 --> 00:32:31.100
 his kingdom

00:32:31.100 --> 00:32:31.660
 to come

00:32:31.660 --> 00:32:34.259
 we should

00:32:34.259 --> 00:32:35.059
 humbly ask

00:32:35.059 --> 00:32:35.640
 for each

00:32:35.640 --> 00:32:36.640
 day the

00:32:36.640 --> 00:32:37.059
 things that

00:32:37.059 --> 00:32:37.539
 we need

00:32:37.539 --> 00:32:40.420
 we should

00:32:40.420 --> 00:32:41.319
 regularly ask

00:32:41.319 --> 00:32:41.700
 for his

00:32:41.700 --> 00:32:42.100
 forgiveness

00:32:42.100 --> 00:32:42.600
 for the

00:32:42.600 --> 00:32:42.960
 things that

00:32:42.960 --> 00:32:43.319
 we've done

00:32:43.319 --> 00:32:43.640
 wrong

00:32:43.640 --> 00:32:46.180
 while also

00:32:46.180 --> 00:32:46.860
 being mindful

00:32:46.860 --> 00:32:47.400
 of how

00:32:47.400 --> 00:32:47.960
 we're treating

00:32:47.960 --> 00:32:48.420
 others

00:32:48.420 --> 00:32:51.279
 we should

00:32:51.279 --> 00:32:51.620
 ask for

00:32:51.620 --> 00:32:52.019
 his help

00:32:52.019 --> 00:32:52.320
 in our

00:32:52.320 --> 00:32:52.640
 battle

00:32:52.640 --> 00:32:53.039
 against

00:32:53.039 --> 00:32:53.360
 sin

00:32:53.360 --> 00:32:53.680
 and

00:32:53.680 --> 00:32:54.140
 temptation

00:32:54.140 --> 00:32:55.880
 these

00:32:55.880 --> 00:32:56.140
 are the

00:32:56.140 --> 00:32:56.400
 things

00:32:56.400 --> 00:32:56.580
 that

00:32:56.580 --> 00:32:56.920
 please

00:32:56.920 --> 00:32:57.300
 God

00:32:57.300 --> 00:32:58.440
 these

00:32:58.440 --> 00:32:58.680
 are the

00:32:58.680 --> 00:32:58.940
 things

00:32:58.940 --> 00:32:59.140
 that

00:32:59.140 --> 00:32:59.320
 he

00:32:59.320 --> 00:32:59.519
 wants

00:32:59.519 --> 00:32:59.660
 to

00:32:59.660 --> 00:32:59.820
 hear

00:32:59.820 --> 00:33:00.060
 from

00:33:00.060 --> 00:33:00.360
 us

00:33:00.360 --> 00:33:04.200
 and

00:33:04.200 --> 00:33:04.500
 as we

00:33:04.500 --> 00:33:04.720
 do

00:33:04.720 --> 00:33:05.100
 I think

00:33:05.100 --> 00:33:05.360
 we need

00:33:05.360 --> 00:33:05.500
 to

00:33:05.500 --> 00:33:06.240
 just

00:33:06.240 --> 00:33:07.140
 remember

00:33:07.140 --> 00:33:07.420
 we

00:33:07.420 --> 00:33:07.800
 can

00:33:07.800 --> 00:33:08.080
 use

00:33:08.080 --> 00:33:08.360
 these

00:33:08.360 --> 00:33:08.680
 words

00:33:08.680 --> 00:33:09.240
 exactly

00:33:09.240 --> 00:33:10.220
 maybe

00:33:10.220 --> 00:33:10.860
 you

00:33:10.860 --> 00:33:11.100
 do

00:33:11.100 --> 00:33:11.660
 frequently

00:33:11.660 --> 00:33:14.340
 but we

00:33:14.340 --> 00:33:14.820
 must guard

00:33:14.820 --> 00:33:15.180
 against

00:33:15.180 --> 00:33:15.640
 that sort

00:33:15.640 --> 00:33:16.200
 of empty

00:33:16.200 --> 00:33:17.300
 ritualistic

00:33:17.300 --> 00:33:18.320
 recitation

00:33:18.320 --> 00:33:20.580
 we must

00:33:20.580 --> 00:33:20.920
 put our

00:33:20.920 --> 00:33:21.200
 heart

00:33:21.200 --> 00:33:21.779
 into these

00:33:21.779 --> 00:33:22.140
 words

00:33:22.140 --> 00:33:23.100
 as we

00:33:23.100 --> 00:33:23.500
 speak them

00:33:23.500 --> 00:33:23.960
 to God

00:33:23.960 --> 00:33:25.740
 these

00:33:25.740 --> 00:33:26.100
 words are

00:33:26.100 --> 00:33:26.500
 here to

00:33:26.500 --> 00:33:27.160
 guide us

00:33:27.160 --> 00:33:27.720
 into

00:33:27.720 --> 00:33:28.820
 relationship

00:33:28.820 --> 00:33:29.420
 with him

00:33:29.420 --> 00:33:32.200
 so let's

00:33:32.200 --> 00:33:32.660
 just end

00:33:32.660 --> 00:33:33.620
 by asking

00:33:33.620 --> 00:33:34.360
 God to

00:33:34.360 --> 00:33:36.240
 work these

00:33:36.240 --> 00:33:36.620
 words

00:33:36.620 --> 00:33:37.640
 deep into

00:33:37.640 --> 00:33:38.220
 our hearts

00:33:38.220 --> 00:33:39.779
 let's pray

00:33:39.779 --> 00:33:40.160
 together

00:33:40.160 --> 00:33:45.960
 father in

00:33:45.960 --> 00:33:46.220
 heaven

00:33:46.220 --> 00:33:48.759
 we thank

00:33:48.759 --> 00:33:49.080
 you that

00:33:49.080 --> 00:33:49.820
 you desire

00:33:49.820 --> 00:33:50.620
 a relationship

00:33:50.620 --> 00:33:51.420
 with us

00:33:51.420 --> 00:33:54.060
 even though

00:33:54.060 --> 00:33:54.460
 we have

00:33:54.460 --> 00:33:55.000
 sinned

00:33:55.000 --> 00:33:56.120
 so many

00:33:56.120 --> 00:33:56.660
 times

00:33:56.660 --> 00:33:57.320
 that we've

00:33:57.320 --> 00:33:57.920
 lost count

00:33:57.920 --> 00:34:00.440
 we thank

00:34:00.440 --> 00:34:00.759
 you that

00:34:00.759 --> 00:34:01.060
 you are

00:34:01.060 --> 00:34:01.660
 merciful

00:34:01.660 --> 00:34:04.740
 and

00:34:04.740 --> 00:34:06.180
 sent

00:34:06.180 --> 00:34:06.920
 your son

00:34:06.920 --> 00:34:08.360
 into our

00:34:08.360 --> 00:34:08.840
 world to

00:34:08.840 --> 00:34:09.360
 draw us

00:34:09.360 --> 00:34:09.900
 into this

00:34:09.900 --> 00:34:10.340
 wonderful

00:34:10.340 --> 00:34:10.940
 relationship

00:34:10.940 --> 00:34:11.480
 with you

00:34:11.480 --> 00:34:11.820
 that we

00:34:11.820 --> 00:34:12.420
 now have

00:34:12.420 --> 00:34:14.920
 and I

00:34:14.920 --> 00:34:15.300
 pray that

00:34:15.300 --> 00:34:15.740
 we wouldn't

00:34:15.740 --> 00:34:16.180
 lose

00:34:16.180 --> 00:34:17.480
 the awe

00:34:17.480 --> 00:34:18.720
 and the

00:34:18.720 --> 00:34:19.000
 wonder

00:34:19.000 --> 00:34:19.500
 of that

00:34:19.500 --> 00:34:23.119
 Lord remind

00:34:23.119 --> 00:34:23.480
 us

00:34:23.480 --> 00:34:24.180
 each one

00:34:24.180 --> 00:34:24.660
 of us

00:34:24.660 --> 00:34:25.780
 through this

00:34:25.780 --> 00:34:26.099
 prayer

00:34:26.099 --> 00:34:28.220
 of how we

00:34:28.220 --> 00:34:28.780
 can continue

00:34:28.780 --> 00:34:29.440
 to be in

00:34:29.440 --> 00:34:29.920
 relationship

00:34:29.920 --> 00:34:30.440
 with you

00:34:30.440 --> 00:34:30.860
 the things

00:34:30.860 --> 00:34:31.220
 we need

00:34:31.220 --> 00:34:32.579
 to keep

00:34:32.579 --> 00:34:33.500
 bringing to

00:34:33.500 --> 00:34:33.720
 you

00:34:33.720 --> 00:34:34.240
 whether it's

00:34:34.240 --> 00:34:34.840
 our needs

00:34:34.840 --> 00:34:35.380
 or our

00:34:35.380 --> 00:34:35.680
 struggles

00:34:35.680 --> 00:34:36.200
 with sin

00:34:36.199 --> 00:34:38.859
 or maybe

00:34:38.859 --> 00:34:39.159
 it's a

00:34:39.159 --> 00:34:39.679
 relationship

00:34:39.679 --> 00:34:40.299
 with someone

00:34:40.299 --> 00:34:40.699
 who we're

00:34:40.699 --> 00:34:41.799
 having a

00:34:41.799 --> 00:34:42.319
 tough time

00:34:42.319 --> 00:34:42.759
 forgiving
