00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:12.179
 I was at a recent meeting with some teachers and governors in a local school to me and one thing

00:00:12.179 --> 00:00:20.240
! a nursery teacher said at one point was this, we're getting worse, worse and worse at listening

00:00:20.240 --> 00:00:29.920
! and speaking because children are being child minded with iPads and things of course she was speaking as a nursery teacher

00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:38.660
 coping with children coming in and recent studies do show that in the opinion of teachers at least half of all children starting school

00:00:38.660 --> 00:00:49.079
 lack some of those very basic skills but what about our listening and speaking to God? what would those statistics be like if we could see them?

00:00:50.040 --> 00:00:56.500
 Jesus says that they are our priorities if you know this part of Luke as you've been going through it

00:00:56.500 --> 00:01:03.200
 so think about what's been going on and you might want to look at the passage just before it of course it's Mary and Martha

00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:13.099
 Mary listening at Jesus' feet, intently listening to him and the message there is that our first priority is to listen to God's word

00:01:13.099 --> 00:01:18.299
 you've got this picture of Mary intently kneeling, sitting at Jesus' feet

00:01:18.299 --> 00:01:24.000
 Jesus says only one thing is needed and that's what Mary is doing, listening to God's word

00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:29.239
 and if that is our first priority to listen to Jesus, to listen to God's word

00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:34.539
 then close behind that comes speaking back to him in prayer

00:01:34.539 --> 00:01:39.799
 so no surprise that it's then that Jesus introduces how we are to pray

00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:47.599
 and of course it's essential that our prayers are guided first of all by what he says to us

00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:53.000
 I remember a school, no university, having a bit of an argument with one friend who said

00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:57.920
 he thought prayer was more important than hearing God's word

00:01:57.920 --> 00:01:59.979
 we had this sort of debate back and forth

00:01:59.979 --> 00:02:04.299
 I think looking back 20 years or so I was right, you were glad to know

00:02:04.299 --> 00:02:08.579
 but actually I think it's important first to listen to God's word

00:02:08.579 --> 00:02:12.099
 because if we talk to God without first hearing from him

00:02:12.099 --> 00:02:14.939
 if you're anything like me you'll talk all sorts of nonsense

00:02:14.939 --> 00:02:16.560
 you'll miss the point

00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:19.840
 actually when we first hear him in his word

00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:24.139
 as Mary did we can then start to speak back to him

00:02:24.139 --> 00:02:26.659
 intelligently because we know who he is

00:02:26.659 --> 00:02:28.900
 hence the Lord's Prayer

00:02:28.900 --> 00:02:33.420
 in these verses Jesus first gives us a model for prayer

00:02:33.420 --> 00:02:34.500
 verses 1 to 4

00:02:34.500 --> 00:02:36.740
 and then as we'll see this evening

00:02:36.740 --> 00:02:39.340
 we'll look at Jesus' motivations for prayer

00:02:39.340 --> 00:02:41.280
 verses 5 to 13

00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:42.819
 just before we look at the model

00:02:42.819 --> 00:02:45.280
 what we commonly refer to as the Lord's Prayer

00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:46.759
 let's bear in mind a few things

00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:50.180
 we're meant to understand the spirit of the prayer of course

00:02:50.180 --> 00:02:53.200
 it's not just a form of words that we're meant to answer

00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:58.159
 you know, we're meant to imbibe

00:02:58.159 --> 00:02:59.919
 to take on the spirit of it

00:02:59.919 --> 00:03:01.739
 and learn the meaning behind it

00:03:01.739 --> 00:03:02.719
 that's important

00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:05.539
 and yet repeating the letter of it

00:03:05.539 --> 00:03:07.859
 and saying it regularly as we did this morning

00:03:07.859 --> 00:03:13.139
 is important because it keeps those important things in our minds

00:03:13.139 --> 00:03:17.219
 so if we're forgetting to think about provision

00:03:17.219 --> 00:03:18.780
 God's provision in our daily bread

00:03:18.780 --> 00:03:21.280
 we're reminded by reading the Lord's Prayer together

00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:23.340
 another point we need to bear in mind

00:03:23.340 --> 00:03:25.840
 is that this is different from Matthew's version

00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:28.580
 it's likely that they were two separate events

00:03:28.580 --> 00:03:32.560
 and we should treat each one on their own terms

00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:36.599
 perhaps a bit of a comparison could be made

00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:37.759
 between the Ten Commandments

00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:38.819
 which is given twice

00:03:38.819 --> 00:03:40.979
 and then the Lord's Prayer is also given twice

00:03:40.979 --> 00:03:44.599
 two very important things that God wants us to hear

00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:47.740
 and like the Ten Commandments as well

00:03:47.740 --> 00:03:52.320
 this prayer puts the concern first of all for God

00:03:52.320 --> 00:03:55.879
 and His honour before requests for ourselves

00:03:55.879 --> 00:03:58.480
 so think of the Table of the Ten Commandments

00:03:58.480 --> 00:04:01.159
 and the first six commandments

00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:04.420
 really to do with God and His honour

00:04:04.420 --> 00:04:06.420
 sorry, the first four

00:04:06.420 --> 00:04:08.939
 and then the second six being to do with

00:04:08.939 --> 00:04:11.240
 our horizontal relationships

00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:15.500
 but also notice in this prayer

00:04:15.500 --> 00:04:17.280
 it's about us

00:04:17.280 --> 00:04:19.500
 and not just me

00:04:19.500 --> 00:04:21.019
 it's us and we

00:04:21.019 --> 00:04:22.180
 it's a corporate prayer

00:04:22.180 --> 00:04:24.620
 where I'm not just praying for myself

00:04:24.620 --> 00:04:27.160
 but I'm praying for my brothers and sisters as well

00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:27.759
 we're saying

00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:29.300
 Matthew's version of course

00:04:29.300 --> 00:04:30.220
 it says our Father

00:04:30.220 --> 00:04:35.480
 also notice this disciple in verse 1

00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:37.759
 he wanted to learn to pray

00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:39.579
 and I want to throw that question out to you

00:04:39.579 --> 00:04:41.199
 do you

00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:43.779
 does this request chime with your heart?

00:04:44.180 --> 00:04:44.639
 do you

00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:47.659
 can you say that you want to learn to pray?

00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:50.000
 if not

00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:50.819
 why not?

00:04:52.039 --> 00:04:54.419
 if that's a struggle with you at the moment

00:04:54.419 --> 00:04:58.019
 if prayer seems like something you just can't seem to get to grips with

00:04:58.019 --> 00:04:59.500
 then listen on

00:04:59.500 --> 00:05:00.860
 because Jesus knows that

00:05:00.860 --> 00:05:01.680
 he empathises

00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:03.799
 and that's why he gives us this prayer

00:05:03.799 --> 00:05:05.699
 I do encourage you to

00:05:05.699 --> 00:05:06.979
 perhaps this week

00:05:06.979 --> 00:05:08.299
 to discipline yourself

00:05:08.300 --> 00:05:09.000
 to pray

00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:11.480
 and ask that he would stir your heart

00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:12.600
 to want to pray

00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:13.620
 indeed I

00:05:13.620 --> 00:05:15.340
 I hope that some of that would happen

00:05:15.340 --> 00:05:15.920
 this morning

00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:16.860
 as we look at this

00:05:16.860 --> 00:05:19.439
 true prayer is of course

00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:20.079
 deeply

00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:21.680
 trustful

00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:23.160
 at the most basic level

00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:23.620
 it says

00:05:23.620 --> 00:05:25.420
 I'm not going to do something now

00:05:25.420 --> 00:05:28.060
 I'm going to pray that you would do something Lord

00:05:28.060 --> 00:05:30.379
 and then a final thought

00:05:30.379 --> 00:05:31.780
 before we look at the model of prayer

00:05:31.780 --> 00:05:34.199
 the real question

00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:36.580
 I want to throw out to you this morning

00:05:36.579 --> 00:05:38.279
 is this

00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:38.979
 which

00:05:38.979 --> 00:05:40.680
 of these elements

00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:42.919
 might be missing from my prayers

00:05:42.919 --> 00:05:43.759
 at the moment

00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:46.180
 if I have a title for this morning

00:05:46.180 --> 00:05:47.039
 it's

00:05:47.039 --> 00:05:48.039
 six things

00:05:48.039 --> 00:05:49.939
 that should shape

00:05:49.939 --> 00:05:50.819
 my prayers

00:05:50.819 --> 00:05:51.639
 six things

00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:52.779
 to shape my prayers

00:05:52.779 --> 00:05:54.199
 which of the six

00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:56.180
 as we look at them

00:05:56.180 --> 00:05:58.879
 is missing from my own prayer

00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:00.699
 it's hard

00:06:00.699 --> 00:06:01.139
 isn't it

00:06:01.139 --> 00:06:02.000
 to go away from a sermon

00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:03.519
 and take all the six points

00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:04.139
 take one

00:06:04.139 --> 00:06:05.539
 that you know

00:06:05.539 --> 00:06:06.759
 is missing from your prayer

00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:07.500
 and ask that

00:06:07.500 --> 00:06:09.680
 God would help you this week

00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:11.379
 so

00:06:11.379 --> 00:06:12.500
 let's look

00:06:12.500 --> 00:06:13.479
 at the six things

00:06:13.479 --> 00:06:15.000
 that should shape our prayers

00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:16.599
 first of all

00:06:16.599 --> 00:06:18.000
 in verse 2

00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:19.039
 Jesus says to them

00:06:19.039 --> 00:06:19.959
 when you pray

00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:20.839
 say

00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:22.159
 Father

00:06:22.159 --> 00:06:23.779
 the first thing

00:06:23.779 --> 00:06:24.879
 that should shape our prayers

00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:26.319
 is simply this

00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:27.719
 the Father's nature

00:06:27.719 --> 00:06:28.939
 the Father's nature

00:06:28.939 --> 00:06:30.719
 now

00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:32.020
 we've heard this prayer

00:06:32.020 --> 00:06:32.700
 so often

00:06:32.700 --> 00:06:34.740
 we almost forget

00:06:34.740 --> 00:06:37.220
 that the very first words

00:06:37.220 --> 00:06:37.680
 of it

00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:38.540
 is probably

00:06:38.540 --> 00:06:39.700
 the most

00:06:39.700 --> 00:06:40.760
 mind-blowing

00:06:40.760 --> 00:06:41.620
 of the whole prayer

00:06:41.620 --> 00:06:42.100
 isn't it

00:06:42.100 --> 00:06:44.560
 the fact that you can call

00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:45.400
 God

00:06:45.400 --> 00:06:45.900
 Father

00:06:45.900 --> 00:06:47.700
 arguably more remarkable

00:06:47.700 --> 00:06:48.560
 than anything else

00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:49.100
 that comes

00:06:49.100 --> 00:06:50.240
 after it

00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:51.900
 carries a sense

00:06:51.900 --> 00:06:53.220
 of authority

00:06:53.220 --> 00:06:55.300
 of speaking to God

00:06:55.300 --> 00:06:56.160
 with respect

00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:57.700
 but it also

00:06:57.700 --> 00:06:58.620
 is coupled with

00:06:58.620 --> 00:06:59.439
 a personal

00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:00.720
 intimacy

00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:02.819
 a love

00:07:02.819 --> 00:07:03.340
 and a care

00:07:03.340 --> 00:07:04.600
 that we get a glimpse of

00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:05.579
 in our own relationships

00:07:05.579 --> 00:07:06.459
 in this world

00:07:06.459 --> 00:07:08.639
 it wasn't the way

00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:09.980
 the Father-Son relationship

00:07:09.980 --> 00:07:10.620
 was not the way

00:07:10.620 --> 00:07:11.259
 that the Jews

00:07:11.259 --> 00:07:13.139
 traditionally thought of

00:07:13.139 --> 00:07:14.040
 of God

00:07:14.040 --> 00:07:15.519
 but it's the Gospel

00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:15.980
 of course

00:07:15.980 --> 00:07:17.120
 that makes this possible

00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:18.340
 one of my favourite

00:07:18.340 --> 00:07:19.480
 verses in the Bible

00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:20.100
 is John

00:07:20.100 --> 00:07:21.540
 chapter 20

00:07:21.540 --> 00:07:22.319
 verse 17

00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:23.079
 where Jesus

00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:24.500
 appears

00:07:24.500 --> 00:07:25.980
 to Mary

00:07:25.980 --> 00:07:27.120
 after his death

00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:27.780
 and resurrection

00:07:27.779 --> 00:07:28.759
 he says

00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:29.799
 don't hold on

00:07:29.799 --> 00:07:30.379
 to me

00:07:30.379 --> 00:07:32.439
 go instead

00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:33.099
 to my brothers

00:07:33.099 --> 00:07:33.759
 and tell them

00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:34.459
 I'm returning

00:07:34.459 --> 00:07:35.619
 to my Father

00:07:35.619 --> 00:07:37.779
 and to your Father

00:07:37.779 --> 00:07:38.979
 to my God

00:07:38.979 --> 00:07:39.619
 and your God

00:07:39.619 --> 00:07:40.259
 you see how

00:07:40.259 --> 00:07:41.239
 actually

00:07:41.239 --> 00:07:42.459
 at this point

00:07:42.459 --> 00:07:42.939
 in the Gospel

00:07:42.939 --> 00:07:43.799
 because of what

00:07:43.799 --> 00:07:44.219
 he's done

00:07:44.219 --> 00:07:45.139
 he can now say

00:07:45.139 --> 00:07:45.799
 that God

00:07:45.799 --> 00:07:46.819
 is your Father

00:07:46.819 --> 00:07:47.819
 as well

00:07:47.819 --> 00:07:48.639
 it's the Gospel

00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:49.899
 that makes this

00:07:49.899 --> 00:07:50.379
 possible

00:07:50.379 --> 00:07:53.619
 and it's an indication

00:07:53.619 --> 00:07:54.539
 that

00:07:54.539 --> 00:07:55.659
 with the coming

00:07:55.660 --> 00:07:56.240
 of Christ

00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:56.860
 the curse

00:07:56.860 --> 00:07:57.600
 is completely

00:07:57.600 --> 00:07:58.140
 undone

00:07:58.140 --> 00:07:59.660
 our alienation

00:07:59.660 --> 00:08:00.400
 from God

00:08:00.400 --> 00:08:01.760
 as our Father

00:08:01.760 --> 00:08:04.040
 is now reversed

00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:04.920
 is now undone

00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:05.520
 we can now

00:08:05.520 --> 00:08:06.140
 communicate

00:08:06.140 --> 00:08:07.220
 with our Creator

00:08:07.220 --> 00:08:08.520
 on this level

00:08:08.520 --> 00:08:11.140
 so for every

00:08:11.140 --> 00:08:12.480
 child of Christ

00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:13.160
 and if you're

00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:14.160
 not yet a Christian

00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:14.879
 here this morning

00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:16.300
 this is for you

00:08:16.300 --> 00:08:16.700
 as well

00:08:16.700 --> 00:08:18.340
 for every single

00:08:18.340 --> 00:08:18.760
 person

00:08:18.760 --> 00:08:19.400
 the Gospel

00:08:19.400 --> 00:08:19.879
 offer

00:08:19.879 --> 00:08:20.820
 is that you

00:08:20.820 --> 00:08:21.280
 can be

00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:21.959
 a child

00:08:21.959 --> 00:08:23.219
 of God

00:08:23.219 --> 00:08:24.899
 John chapter 1

00:08:24.899 --> 00:08:25.599
 verse 12

00:08:25.599 --> 00:08:26.879
 for everyone

00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:27.539
 who believes

00:08:27.539 --> 00:08:28.059
 in his name

00:08:28.059 --> 00:08:28.779
 he gives the

00:08:28.779 --> 00:08:29.939
 right to become

00:08:29.939 --> 00:08:30.819
 children

00:08:30.819 --> 00:08:31.879
 of God

00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:32.939
 and legitimately

00:08:32.939 --> 00:08:34.319
 refer to the

00:08:34.319 --> 00:08:34.839
 maker of the

00:08:34.839 --> 00:08:35.199
 universe

00:08:35.199 --> 00:08:35.919
 as Father

00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:37.159
 with all the

00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:37.839
 tenderness

00:08:37.839 --> 00:08:39.299
 and the care

00:08:39.299 --> 00:08:40.299
 and the intimacy

00:08:40.299 --> 00:08:41.379
 that that word

00:08:41.379 --> 00:08:42.039
 carries

00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:45.679
 we need to

00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:46.159
 move on

00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:46.860
 but can I just

00:08:46.860 --> 00:08:47.399
 ask you

00:08:47.399 --> 00:08:48.220
 is it possible

00:08:48.220 --> 00:08:48.819
 that this

00:08:48.819 --> 00:08:49.519
 aspect

00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:50.199
 of Jesus'

00:08:50.379 --> 00:08:50.519
 prayer

00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:50.939
 is missing

00:08:50.939 --> 00:08:51.460
 from your

00:08:51.460 --> 00:08:51.899
 prayers

00:08:51.899 --> 00:08:54.079
 when you

00:08:54.079 --> 00:08:54.779
 come to him

00:08:54.779 --> 00:08:55.259
 in prayer

00:08:55.259 --> 00:08:56.419
 there's perhaps

00:08:56.419 --> 00:08:56.840
 a bit of a

00:08:56.840 --> 00:08:57.460
 coldness

00:08:57.460 --> 00:08:58.159
 you just want

00:08:58.159 --> 00:08:58.799
 to move on

00:08:58.799 --> 00:08:59.840
 quickly to

00:08:59.840 --> 00:09:00.600
 something else

00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:01.840
 you're not

00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:03.419
 treasuring

00:09:03.419 --> 00:09:04.500
 the relationship

00:09:04.500 --> 00:09:05.399
 if you love

00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:06.379
 someone

00:09:06.379 --> 00:09:07.100
 think of perhaps

00:09:07.100 --> 00:09:07.600
 the person

00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:08.319
 you love to be

00:09:08.319 --> 00:09:09.019
 within this world

00:09:09.019 --> 00:09:09.579
 the most

00:09:09.579 --> 00:09:10.600
 you don't rush

00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:11.179
 on from

00:09:11.179 --> 00:09:12.579
 being with them

00:09:12.579 --> 00:09:14.600
 but is it possible

00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:15.019
 that in your

00:09:15.019 --> 00:09:15.659
 prayers with God

00:09:15.659 --> 00:09:16.000
 you're not

00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:17.120
 feeling the warmth

00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:18.779
 of a son

00:09:18.779 --> 00:09:19.360
 or a daughter

00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:20.279
 towards him

00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:21.740
 maybe you feel

00:09:21.740 --> 00:09:22.240
 guilty

00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:23.180
 maybe you feel

00:09:23.180 --> 00:09:24.259
 ashamed

00:09:24.259 --> 00:09:25.840
 in his presence

00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:26.919
 of course we do

00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:27.600
 need to confess

00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:28.180
 sin

00:09:28.180 --> 00:09:29.519
 but we also

00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:30.159
 need to know

00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:30.700
 when we're

00:09:30.700 --> 00:09:31.080
 forgiven

00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:33.360
 and if this

00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:33.899
 is missing

00:09:33.899 --> 00:09:35.620
 from your

00:09:35.620 --> 00:09:36.080
 prayers

00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:37.360
 then it's not

00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:37.899
 surprising that

00:09:37.899 --> 00:09:38.259
 our prayers

00:09:38.259 --> 00:09:39.000
 will be cold

00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:39.700
 and formal

00:09:39.700 --> 00:09:40.360
 impersonal

00:09:40.940 --> 00:09:42.500
 a child

00:09:42.500 --> 00:09:43.159
 with his father

00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:44.080
 is confident

00:09:44.080 --> 00:09:45.519
 confident of

00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:46.180
 access

00:09:46.180 --> 00:09:47.639
 can ask

00:09:47.639 --> 00:09:48.240
 with trust

00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:48.600
 we'll think

00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:49.360
 more about

00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:49.740
 this this

00:09:49.740 --> 00:09:50.019
 evening

00:09:50.019 --> 00:09:51.100
 and ask

00:09:51.100 --> 00:09:51.440
 with that

00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:52.080
 simplicity

00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:52.820
 that a child

00:09:52.820 --> 00:09:53.279
 will ask

00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:53.779
 something of

00:09:53.779 --> 00:09:54.299
 their father

00:09:54.299 --> 00:09:55.279
 it's not

00:09:55.279 --> 00:09:56.379
 just a part

00:09:56.379 --> 00:09:57.240
 of our

00:09:57.240 --> 00:09:57.539
 prayer

00:09:57.539 --> 00:09:57.940
 actually

00:09:57.940 --> 00:09:59.100
 all of our

00:09:59.100 --> 00:09:59.740
 communication

00:09:59.740 --> 00:10:00.779
 with our heavenly

00:10:00.779 --> 00:10:01.700
 father is to be

00:10:01.700 --> 00:10:03.039
 based on the

00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:03.720
 knowledge of his

00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:04.879
 fatherly care for

00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:05.340
 us

00:10:05.340 --> 00:10:07.139
 so could that be

00:10:07.139 --> 00:10:07.740
 missing from your

00:10:07.740 --> 00:10:08.120
 prayers

00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:09.320
 what should shape

00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:09.799
 my prayers

00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:10.399
 first of all

00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:11.220
 the father's

00:10:11.220 --> 00:10:12.259
 nature

00:10:12.259 --> 00:10:13.700
 secondly

00:10:13.700 --> 00:10:14.480
 what should shape

00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:15.460
 my prayers

00:10:15.460 --> 00:10:17.060
 is the father's

00:10:17.060 --> 00:10:17.740
 name

00:10:17.740 --> 00:10:18.580
 the father's

00:10:18.580 --> 00:10:19.040
 name

00:10:19.040 --> 00:10:21.800
 when you pray

00:10:21.800 --> 00:10:22.740
 say father

00:10:22.740 --> 00:10:24.320
 hallowed be

00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:25.019
 your name

00:10:25.019 --> 00:10:26.780
 in other words

00:10:26.780 --> 00:10:28.180
 may your name

00:10:28.180 --> 00:10:29.220
 be set apart

00:10:29.220 --> 00:10:30.180
 may your name

00:10:30.180 --> 00:10:31.480
 be made holy

00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:32.280
 may it have

00:10:32.280 --> 00:10:32.860
 the honour

00:10:32.860 --> 00:10:34.500
 that it deserves

00:10:34.500 --> 00:10:35.620
 this is the

00:10:35.620 --> 00:10:36.540
 first thing

00:10:36.540 --> 00:10:37.200
 that we should

00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:38.400
 pray for

00:10:38.400 --> 00:10:38.800
 it's our

00:10:38.800 --> 00:10:39.480
 priority

00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:40.040
 in terms of

00:10:40.040 --> 00:10:40.720
 the content

00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:42.180
 of our prayers

00:10:42.180 --> 00:10:42.660
 of course it

00:10:42.660 --> 00:10:42.980
 doesn't mean

00:10:42.980 --> 00:10:43.560
 that our prayers

00:10:43.560 --> 00:10:44.220
 can make him

00:10:44.220 --> 00:10:44.700
 more holy

00:10:44.700 --> 00:10:46.220
 it's a prayer

00:10:46.220 --> 00:10:47.420
 that more

00:10:47.420 --> 00:10:47.940
 and more

00:10:47.940 --> 00:10:48.600
 his name

00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:48.960
 would be

00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:49.759
 recognised

00:10:49.759 --> 00:10:50.960
 for what it

00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:51.379
 is

00:10:51.379 --> 00:10:52.379
 I am to

00:10:52.379 --> 00:10:52.860
 care about

00:10:52.860 --> 00:10:53.480
 his honour

00:10:53.480 --> 00:10:54.740
 his status

00:10:54.740 --> 00:10:55.420
 and his

00:10:55.420 --> 00:10:55.980
 reputation

00:10:55.980 --> 00:10:57.240
 and we talk

00:10:57.240 --> 00:10:58.360
 about so and

00:10:58.360 --> 00:10:59.240
 so really

00:10:59.240 --> 00:11:00.000
 making a name

00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:00.600
 for himself

00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:01.720
 it's a phrase

00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:02.440
 we use a lot

00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:04.060
 but Jesus is

00:11:04.060 --> 00:11:04.620
 saying that I

00:11:04.620 --> 00:11:05.259
 am to care

00:11:05.259 --> 00:11:06.240
 about my

00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:07.259
 father's name

00:11:07.259 --> 00:11:09.060
 more than I

00:11:09.060 --> 00:11:09.840
 care about my

00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:10.480
 own or anyone

00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:11.100
 else's

00:11:11.100 --> 00:11:12.460
 far more

00:11:12.460 --> 00:11:16.340
 our motives

00:11:16.340 --> 00:11:17.220
 are mixed

00:11:17.220 --> 00:11:17.759
 to say the

00:11:17.759 --> 00:11:18.019
 least

00:11:18.019 --> 00:11:18.440
 aren't they

00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:18.879
 when we

00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:19.220
 come to

00:11:19.220 --> 00:11:19.500
 pray

00:11:19.500 --> 00:11:19.840
 all of

00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:20.060
 those

00:11:20.060 --> 00:11:20.379
 sinful

00:11:20.379 --> 00:11:20.740
 motives

00:11:20.740 --> 00:11:21.639
 come in

00:11:21.639 --> 00:11:23.000
 Philippians

00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:23.460
 2

00:11:23.460 --> 00:11:24.200
 verse 4

00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:25.000
 Paul encourages

00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:25.540
 us that we

00:11:25.540 --> 00:11:26.019
 should look

00:11:26.019 --> 00:11:26.519
 out for the

00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:27.120
 interests of

00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:27.759
 others

00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:29.160
 not just

00:11:29.160 --> 00:11:29.700
 our own

00:11:29.700 --> 00:11:30.400
 because we

00:11:30.400 --> 00:11:30.940
 are constantly

00:11:30.940 --> 00:11:31.440
 thinking about

00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:31.759
 our own

00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:32.300
 interests

00:11:32.300 --> 00:11:33.200
 and our

00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:33.700
 prayers will

00:11:33.700 --> 00:11:34.480
 reflect that

00:11:34.480 --> 00:11:35.420
 they will

00:11:35.420 --> 00:11:35.840
 be self

00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:36.400
 centred

00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:38.039
 and here

00:11:38.039 --> 00:11:38.559
 Jesus is

00:11:38.559 --> 00:11:39.879
 saying to

00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:40.439
 me at least

00:11:40.439 --> 00:11:41.259
 Tim this

00:11:41.259 --> 00:11:42.600
 life is not

00:11:42.600 --> 00:11:43.240
 about you

00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:44.039
 it's not all

00:11:44.039 --> 00:11:44.579
 about you

00:11:44.579 --> 00:11:47.679
 it's actually

00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:48.939
 all about

00:11:48.939 --> 00:11:50.220
 God the

00:11:50.220 --> 00:11:50.579
 father

00:11:50.579 --> 00:11:51.879
 and his

00:11:51.879 --> 00:11:52.279
 name

00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:55.699
 we're looking

00:11:55.699 --> 00:11:56.079
 at the

00:11:56.079 --> 00:11:56.899
 ten commandments

00:11:56.899 --> 00:11:57.519
 at the moment

00:11:57.519 --> 00:11:58.519
 in our evening

00:11:58.519 --> 00:11:59.179
 services

00:11:59.179 --> 00:12:00.659
 and we looked

00:12:00.659 --> 00:12:01.100
 a few weeks

00:12:01.100 --> 00:12:01.740
 ago at this

00:12:01.740 --> 00:12:02.699
 command

00:12:02.699 --> 00:12:03.419
 you shall not

00:12:03.419 --> 00:12:04.159
 misuse the

00:12:04.159 --> 00:12:05.039
 name of the

00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:05.480
 Lord your

00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:05.919
 God

00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:07.079
 for the

00:12:07.079 --> 00:12:07.519
 Lord will

00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:08.099
 not hold

00:12:08.099 --> 00:12:08.579
 anyone

00:12:08.579 --> 00:12:09.299
 guiltless

00:12:09.299 --> 00:12:10.319
 who misuses

00:12:10.319 --> 00:12:11.740
 his name

00:12:11.740 --> 00:12:12.120
 in the sense

00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:12.459
 that's the

00:12:12.459 --> 00:12:12.839
 negative

00:12:12.839 --> 00:12:13.979
 we thought

00:12:13.979 --> 00:12:14.339
 about the

00:12:14.339 --> 00:12:14.799
 fact that

00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:15.279
 God's

00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:16.339
 word

00:12:16.339 --> 00:12:16.719
 should

00:12:16.719 --> 00:12:17.139
 God's

00:12:17.139 --> 00:12:17.360
 name

00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:17.599
 rather

00:12:17.599 --> 00:12:17.959
 should be

00:12:17.959 --> 00:12:18.299
 on our

00:12:18.299 --> 00:12:18.699
 lips

00:12:18.699 --> 00:12:21.139
 positively

00:12:21.139 --> 00:12:21.639
 to his

00:12:21.639 --> 00:12:22.019
 praise

00:12:22.019 --> 00:12:22.740
 not lightly

00:12:22.740 --> 00:12:23.819
 or insincerely

00:12:23.819 --> 00:12:24.699
 or profanely

00:12:24.699 --> 00:12:25.459
 we thought

00:12:25.459 --> 00:12:26.139
 about hallowing

00:12:26.139 --> 00:12:26.759
 his name

00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:27.559
 and we thought

00:12:27.559 --> 00:12:27.979
 about our

00:12:27.979 --> 00:12:28.479
 actions

00:12:28.479 --> 00:12:29.759
 and how we

00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:30.199
 use his

00:12:30.199 --> 00:12:30.860
 name lightly

00:12:30.860 --> 00:12:31.480
 how we can

00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:32.379
 sing a song

00:12:32.379 --> 00:12:33.620
 say all sorts

00:12:33.620 --> 00:12:34.480
 of great things

00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:35.240
 to do with

00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:35.639
 God's name

00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:35.960
 but actually

00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:36.399
 our thoughts

00:12:36.399 --> 00:12:37.019
 are elsewhere

00:12:37.019 --> 00:12:38.139
 or we're just

00:12:38.139 --> 00:12:38.819
 not engaged

00:12:38.819 --> 00:12:41.899
 doesn't reflect

00:12:41.899 --> 00:12:42.360
 the weight

00:12:42.360 --> 00:12:43.319
 of his glory

00:12:43.319 --> 00:12:45.340
 in the way

00:12:45.340 --> 00:12:45.840
 that we use

00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:46.319
 his name

00:12:46.319 --> 00:12:47.279
 might this

00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:47.980
 be missing

00:12:47.980 --> 00:12:49.360
 from your

00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:49.919
 prayers

00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:51.439
 a concern

00:12:51.439 --> 00:12:52.179
 for his

00:12:52.179 --> 00:12:52.620
 name

00:12:52.620 --> 00:12:54.019
 and his

00:12:54.019 --> 00:12:54.879
 honour

00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:58.059
 John Ruskin

00:12:58.059 --> 00:12:59.080
 famously said

00:12:59.080 --> 00:12:59.600
 that a man

00:12:59.600 --> 00:13:00.080
 who's wrapped

00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:01.000
 up in himself

00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:01.600
 will make a

00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:02.100
 pretty small

00:13:02.100 --> 00:13:02.679
 package

00:13:02.679 --> 00:13:05.259
 and if

00:13:05.259 --> 00:13:05.859
 this prayer

00:13:05.859 --> 00:13:06.399
 doesn't weave

00:13:06.399 --> 00:13:06.799
 its way

00:13:06.799 --> 00:13:07.199
 into the

00:13:07.199 --> 00:13:07.519
 fabric

00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:07.939
 of our

00:13:07.939 --> 00:13:08.379
 prayers

00:13:08.379 --> 00:13:09.439
 then our

00:13:09.439 --> 00:13:10.639
 concerns

00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:11.479
 will remain

00:13:11.479 --> 00:13:12.120
 very small

00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:13.099
 and pretty

00:13:13.099 --> 00:13:13.639
 insignificant

00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:14.599
 so watch

00:13:14.599 --> 00:13:14.879
 your shape

00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:15.359
 in my prayers

00:13:15.359 --> 00:13:15.939
 the father's

00:13:15.939 --> 00:13:16.379
 nature

00:13:16.379 --> 00:13:17.639
 the father's

00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:18.039
 name

00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:19.519
 and then

00:13:19.519 --> 00:13:20.120
 thirdly

00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:20.799
 the father's

00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:21.199
 kingdom

00:13:21.199 --> 00:13:22.179
 father

00:13:22.179 --> 00:13:22.799
 hallowed be

00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:23.419
 your name

00:13:23.419 --> 00:13:24.519
 your kingdom

00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:25.579
 come

00:13:25.580 --> 00:13:27.360
 everyone's

00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:27.560
 trying to

00:13:27.560 --> 00:13:27.980
 make a name

00:13:27.980 --> 00:13:28.620
 for themselves

00:13:28.620 --> 00:13:29.759
 everyone's

00:13:29.759 --> 00:13:30.020
 trying to

00:13:30.020 --> 00:13:30.340
 build their

00:13:30.340 --> 00:13:30.600
 own

00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:31.440
 mini kingdoms

00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:31.980
 maybe you

00:13:31.980 --> 00:13:32.240
 know the

00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:32.759
 story of

00:13:32.759 --> 00:13:33.120
 Michael

00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:33.759
 Hesseltine

00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:35.120
 a politician

00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:36.160
 of previous

00:13:36.160 --> 00:13:36.620
 years

00:13:36.620 --> 00:13:38.960
 who it is

00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:39.660
 said I think

00:13:39.660 --> 00:13:40.220
 by one of his

00:13:40.220 --> 00:13:40.800
 contemporaries

00:13:40.800 --> 00:13:41.379
 at school

00:13:41.379 --> 00:13:42.379
 that at a

00:13:42.379 --> 00:13:43.180
 very early age

00:13:43.180 --> 00:13:43.740
 in his teens

00:13:43.740 --> 00:13:44.200
 I think

00:13:44.200 --> 00:13:45.400
 he set out

00:13:45.400 --> 00:13:45.960
 his goals

00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:46.580
 for life

00:13:46.580 --> 00:13:47.480
 in his

00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:47.900
 twenties

00:13:47.900 --> 00:13:49.080
 he would be

00:13:49.080 --> 00:13:49.540
 a millionaire

00:13:49.540 --> 00:13:50.840
 in his

00:13:50.840 --> 00:13:51.400
 thirties

00:13:51.400 --> 00:13:51.940
 he would be

00:13:51.940 --> 00:13:52.460
 an MP

00:13:52.460 --> 00:13:53.580
 in his

00:13:53.580 --> 00:13:54.100
 forties

00:13:54.100 --> 00:13:54.520
 he'd be on

00:13:54.520 --> 00:13:54.920
 the Tory

00:13:54.920 --> 00:13:55.560
 front bench

00:13:55.559 --> 00:13:56.599
 and his

00:13:56.599 --> 00:13:57.159
 fifties

00:13:57.159 --> 00:13:58.299
 Downing

00:13:58.299 --> 00:13:58.639
 Street

00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:00.059
 unfortunately

00:14:00.059 --> 00:14:00.719
 somebody and

00:14:00.719 --> 00:14:01.419
 their handbag

00:14:01.419 --> 00:14:02.019
 slightly got in

00:14:02.019 --> 00:14:02.379
 the way of

00:14:02.379 --> 00:14:02.619
 that

00:14:02.619 --> 00:14:04.379
 but it's not

00:14:04.379 --> 00:14:05.299
 just politicians

00:14:05.299 --> 00:14:06.339
 it's Christians

00:14:06.339 --> 00:14:06.979
 as well

00:14:06.979 --> 00:14:08.099
 making their

00:14:08.099 --> 00:14:08.500
 own mini

00:14:08.500 --> 00:14:08.959
 kingdoms

00:14:08.959 --> 00:14:10.179
 even

00:14:10.179 --> 00:14:10.739
 pastors

00:14:10.739 --> 00:14:12.359
 we're probably

00:14:12.359 --> 00:14:13.679
 tempted all

00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:14.139
 the more

00:14:14.139 --> 00:14:15.239
 to make our

00:14:15.239 --> 00:14:15.899
 own mini

00:14:15.899 --> 00:14:16.500
 kingdoms in

00:14:16.500 --> 00:14:17.059
 this world

00:14:17.059 --> 00:14:18.379
 but to pray

00:14:18.379 --> 00:14:19.959
 this is to

00:14:19.959 --> 00:14:20.599
 pray at least

00:14:20.599 --> 00:14:21.239
 two things

00:14:21.239 --> 00:14:21.699
 it is to

00:14:21.699 --> 00:14:22.479
 pray first of

00:14:22.479 --> 00:14:22.779
 all

00:14:22.779 --> 00:14:24.139
 lord grow

00:14:24.139 --> 00:14:25.119
 your kingdom

00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:25.779
 lord grow

00:14:25.779 --> 00:14:26.379
 your kingdom

00:14:26.379 --> 00:14:27.200
 and that is

00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:27.659
 a prayer

00:14:27.659 --> 00:14:28.860
 for the

00:14:28.860 --> 00:14:29.340
 present

00:14:29.340 --> 00:14:29.860
 and it's a

00:14:29.860 --> 00:14:30.200
 prayer that

00:14:30.200 --> 00:14:30.740
 is being

00:14:30.740 --> 00:14:31.139
 answered

00:14:31.139 --> 00:14:32.279
 in this

00:14:32.279 --> 00:14:32.700
 world

00:14:32.700 --> 00:14:33.679
 I know

00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:34.200
 we've had

00:14:34.200 --> 00:14:36.560
 bad signs

00:14:36.560 --> 00:14:36.919
 in our

00:14:36.919 --> 00:14:37.240
 country

00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:37.659
 we had the

00:14:37.659 --> 00:14:38.220
 first same

00:14:38.220 --> 00:14:38.820
 sex marriages

00:14:38.820 --> 00:14:40.279
 the end of

00:14:40.279 --> 00:14:40.700
 March

00:14:40.700 --> 00:14:42.519
 we're in a

00:14:42.519 --> 00:14:43.360
 nation that

00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:43.820
 is largely

00:14:43.820 --> 00:14:44.360
 turning its

00:14:44.360 --> 00:14:45.519
 back on

00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:46.060
 God's law

00:14:46.060 --> 00:14:46.480
 and God's

00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:46.740
 word

00:14:46.740 --> 00:14:47.299
 but that's

00:14:47.299 --> 00:14:47.720
 in a sense

00:14:47.720 --> 00:14:48.019
 that's a

00:14:48.019 --> 00:14:48.320
 local

00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:48.899
 perspective

00:14:48.899 --> 00:14:50.159
 look

00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:50.720
 globally

00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:51.460
 people are

00:14:51.460 --> 00:14:51.860
 becoming

00:14:51.860 --> 00:14:52.440
 Christians

00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:53.660
 in their

00:14:53.660 --> 00:14:54.340
 droves

00:14:54.340 --> 00:14:55.480
 let me

00:14:55.480 --> 00:14:56.120
 quote one

00:14:56.120 --> 00:14:56.980
 statistic

00:14:56.980 --> 00:14:58.259
 evangelical

00:14:58.259 --> 00:14:59.120
 believers are

00:14:59.120 --> 00:14:59.860
 growing at a

00:14:59.860 --> 00:15:00.740
 rate of three

00:15:00.740 --> 00:15:01.420
 and a half

00:15:01.420 --> 00:15:02.420
 times that

00:15:02.420 --> 00:15:03.440
 of the world

00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:04.259
 population

00:15:04.259 --> 00:15:05.340
 so for every

00:15:05.340 --> 00:15:06.100
 one person

00:15:06.100 --> 00:15:06.540
 born

00:15:06.540 --> 00:15:07.860
 three

00:15:07.860 --> 00:15:09.240
 and a half

00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:10.180
 are becoming

00:15:10.180 --> 00:15:10.779
 Christians

00:15:10.779 --> 00:15:12.300
 maybe you know

00:15:12.300 --> 00:15:12.840
 that half

00:15:12.840 --> 00:15:14.899
 now I don't

00:15:14.899 --> 00:15:15.620
 know you could

00:15:15.620 --> 00:15:16.060
 debate the

00:15:16.060 --> 00:15:16.460
 accuracy

00:15:16.460 --> 00:15:17.600
 that's quite a

00:15:17.600 --> 00:15:18.860
 trusted source

00:15:18.860 --> 00:15:19.960
 but one

00:15:19.960 --> 00:15:20.360
 thing is

00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:21.039
 growth is

00:15:21.039 --> 00:15:21.419
 certain

00:15:21.419 --> 00:15:21.919
 God is

00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:22.279
 building

00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:23.379
 his kingdom

00:15:23.379 --> 00:15:24.180
 it is a

00:15:24.180 --> 00:15:24.560
 prayer that

00:15:24.560 --> 00:15:25.100
 is being

00:15:25.100 --> 00:15:25.659
 answered in

00:15:25.659 --> 00:15:26.139
 the present

00:15:26.139 --> 00:15:27.279
 we're also

00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:27.840
 saying as

00:15:27.840 --> 00:15:28.240
 well as

00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:29.360
 God grow

00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:29.820
 your kingdom

00:15:29.820 --> 00:15:30.419
 we're saying

00:15:30.419 --> 00:15:31.759
 Lord bring

00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:32.560
 in your

00:15:32.560 --> 00:15:32.960
 kingdom

00:15:32.960 --> 00:15:33.560
 in its

00:15:33.560 --> 00:15:33.940
 fullness

00:15:33.940 --> 00:15:34.820
 in the

00:15:34.820 --> 00:15:35.220
 future

00:15:35.220 --> 00:15:39.159
 we're saying

00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:40.860
 bring in

00:15:40.860 --> 00:15:41.379
 the many

00:15:41.379 --> 00:15:42.000
 kingdoms of

00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:42.360
 the world

00:15:42.360 --> 00:15:42.779
 and bring

00:15:42.779 --> 00:15:43.580
 them under

00:15:43.580 --> 00:15:45.399
 your one

00:15:45.399 --> 00:15:45.980
 perfect

00:15:45.980 --> 00:15:46.420
 kingdom

00:15:46.420 --> 00:15:48.420
 all of

00:15:48.419 --> 00:15:48.620
 that

00:15:48.620 --> 00:15:49.179
 borrowed

00:15:49.179 --> 00:15:50.099
 authority

00:15:50.099 --> 00:15:50.399
 all of

00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:50.500
 that

00:15:50.500 --> 00:15:51.059
 delegated

00:15:51.059 --> 00:15:51.559
 authority

00:15:51.559 --> 00:15:52.019
 may it

00:15:52.019 --> 00:15:52.519
 come under

00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:52.979
 your

00:15:52.979 --> 00:15:54.000
 absolute

00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:54.679
 authority

00:15:54.679 --> 00:15:55.059
 and be

00:15:55.059 --> 00:15:55.579
 seen

00:15:55.579 --> 00:15:56.519
 to bow

00:15:56.519 --> 00:15:56.839
 the knee

00:15:56.839 --> 00:15:57.120
 to your

00:15:57.120 --> 00:15:57.519
 absolute

00:15:57.519 --> 00:15:58.199
 authority

00:15:58.199 --> 00:16:00.439
 we're saying

00:16:00.439 --> 00:16:01.319
 bring in

00:16:01.319 --> 00:16:01.919
 your kingdom

00:16:01.919 --> 00:16:02.919
 I'm just

00:16:02.919 --> 00:16:03.399
 flicking through

00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:03.959
 some references

00:16:03.959 --> 00:16:04.319
 in

00:16:04.319 --> 00:16:05.279
 revelation

00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:08.139
 to pray

00:16:08.139 --> 00:16:08.799
 this prayer

00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:09.679
 is to say

00:16:09.679 --> 00:16:11.279
 Lord would

00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:12.539
 you please

00:16:12.539 --> 00:16:13.379
 make it

00:16:13.379 --> 00:16:14.079
 time up

00:16:14.079 --> 00:16:14.519
 for those

00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:14.839
 who are

00:16:14.839 --> 00:16:15.379
 rebels in

00:16:15.379 --> 00:16:15.839
 your kingdom

00:16:15.839 --> 00:16:16.199
 would you

00:16:16.199 --> 00:16:16.659
 bring them

00:16:16.659 --> 00:16:17.299
 to account

00:16:17.299 --> 00:16:18.719
 just as

00:16:18.719 --> 00:16:19.639
 Jesus says

00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:19.899
 to the

00:16:19.899 --> 00:16:20.139
 church

00:16:20.139 --> 00:16:20.339
 in

00:16:20.339 --> 00:16:20.779
 Sardis

00:16:20.779 --> 00:16:21.059
 if you

00:16:21.059 --> 00:16:21.379
 do not

00:16:21.379 --> 00:16:21.879
 wake up

00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:22.159
 I will

00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:22.439
 come

00:16:22.439 --> 00:16:22.899
 like a

00:16:22.899 --> 00:16:23.279
 thief

00:16:23.279 --> 00:16:24.059
 and you

00:16:24.059 --> 00:16:24.419
 will not

00:16:24.419 --> 00:16:24.639
 know

00:16:24.639 --> 00:16:24.919
 at what

00:16:24.919 --> 00:16:25.199
 time

00:16:25.199 --> 00:16:25.439
 I will

00:16:25.439 --> 00:16:25.639
 come

00:16:25.639 --> 00:16:25.959
 to you

00:16:25.959 --> 00:16:26.439
 this prayer

00:16:26.439 --> 00:16:27.000
 is saying

00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:27.959
 Lord come

00:16:27.959 --> 00:16:28.859
 sort out

00:16:28.859 --> 00:16:29.199
 those who

00:16:29.199 --> 00:16:29.699
 are rebels

00:16:29.699 --> 00:16:30.500
 in your

00:16:30.500 --> 00:16:30.839
 kingdom

00:16:30.839 --> 00:16:31.819
 we're also

00:16:31.819 --> 00:16:32.259
 saying

00:16:32.259 --> 00:16:32.879
 come

00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:33.699
 and vindicate

00:16:33.699 --> 00:16:34.359
 your people

00:16:34.359 --> 00:16:34.819
 revelation

00:16:34.819 --> 00:16:35.539
 17

00:16:35.539 --> 00:16:36.799
 verse 14

00:16:36.799 --> 00:16:37.779
 the lamb

00:16:37.779 --> 00:16:38.599
 will overcome

00:16:38.599 --> 00:16:39.240
 them because

00:16:39.240 --> 00:16:39.620
 he's the

00:16:39.620 --> 00:16:39.919
 lord of

00:16:39.919 --> 00:16:40.299
 lords and

00:16:40.299 --> 00:16:40.579
 the king

00:16:40.579 --> 00:16:41.039
 of kings

00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:42.039
 and with

00:16:42.039 --> 00:16:42.519
 him will

00:16:42.519 --> 00:16:43.099
 be his

00:16:43.099 --> 00:16:43.599
 called

00:16:43.599 --> 00:16:44.399
 chosen

00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:45.139
 and faithful

00:16:45.139 --> 00:16:45.759
 followers

00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:47.120
 Lord vindicate

00:16:47.120 --> 00:16:48.679
 your people

00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:49.399
 bring in

00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:49.980
 your kingdom

00:16:49.980 --> 00:16:50.580
 your kingdom

00:16:50.580 --> 00:16:51.059
 come

00:16:51.059 --> 00:16:52.240
 we're also

00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:53.000
 praying

00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:54.139
 that the devil

00:16:54.139 --> 00:16:54.819
 will be

00:16:54.819 --> 00:16:55.620
 destroyed

00:16:55.620 --> 00:16:56.840
 fully and

00:16:56.840 --> 00:16:57.259
 finally

00:16:57.259 --> 00:16:57.799
 we read of

00:16:57.799 --> 00:16:58.460
 the rider

00:16:58.460 --> 00:16:58.980
 on the white

00:16:58.980 --> 00:16:59.500
 horse in

00:16:59.500 --> 00:17:00.340
 chapter 19

00:17:00.340 --> 00:17:01.319
 and in a

00:17:01.319 --> 00:17:01.700
 sense we're

00:17:01.700 --> 00:17:02.080
 saying

00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:03.319
 come rider

00:17:03.319 --> 00:17:03.740
 on your

00:17:03.740 --> 00:17:04.339
 white horse

00:17:04.339 --> 00:17:04.839
 come and

00:17:04.839 --> 00:17:05.519
 bring in

00:17:05.519 --> 00:17:06.240
 your kingdom

00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:08.099
 and capture

00:17:08.099 --> 00:17:08.980
 the beast

00:17:08.980 --> 00:17:09.940
 verse 20

00:17:09.940 --> 00:17:10.920
 and throw

00:17:10.920 --> 00:17:11.400
 them into

00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:11.839
 the fiery

00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:12.140
 lake

00:17:12.140 --> 00:17:13.099
 destroy

00:17:13.099 --> 00:17:14.599
 your enemies

00:17:14.599 --> 00:17:15.399
 once and

00:17:15.399 --> 00:17:15.799
 for all

00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:16.199
 that's what

00:17:16.199 --> 00:17:16.740
 we're praying

00:17:16.740 --> 00:17:18.240
 we're praying

00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:19.779
 finally in

00:17:19.779 --> 00:17:20.500
 chapter 22

00:17:20.500 --> 00:17:21.719
 that your

00:17:21.719 --> 00:17:22.579
 kingdom would

00:17:22.579 --> 00:17:23.419
 become the

00:17:23.419 --> 00:17:24.219
 new creation

00:17:24.219 --> 00:17:25.539
 would be all

00:17:25.539 --> 00:17:25.919
 that you've

00:17:25.919 --> 00:17:26.659
 intended it to

00:17:26.659 --> 00:17:27.259
 be from the

00:17:27.259 --> 00:17:27.699
 start

00:17:27.699 --> 00:17:28.879
 we're praying

00:17:28.879 --> 00:17:29.419
 no wonder

00:17:29.419 --> 00:17:30.059
 at the end

00:17:30.059 --> 00:17:30.480
 of the book

00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:31.240
 come lord

00:17:31.240 --> 00:17:31.619
 Jesus

00:17:31.619 --> 00:17:32.719
 bring in

00:17:32.719 --> 00:17:33.259
 your kingdom

00:17:33.259 --> 00:17:36.740
 so as we

00:17:36.740 --> 00:17:37.099
 think of

00:17:37.099 --> 00:17:38.019
 those three

00:17:38.019 --> 00:17:39.099
 things first

00:17:39.099 --> 00:17:39.500
 of all that

00:17:39.500 --> 00:17:39.899
 should shape

00:17:39.899 --> 00:17:40.500
 our prayers

00:17:40.500 --> 00:17:41.059
 in the first

00:17:41.059 --> 00:17:41.439
 half of the

00:17:41.439 --> 00:17:41.719
 prayer

00:17:41.719 --> 00:17:42.279
 just have a

00:17:42.279 --> 00:17:42.519
 look at

00:17:42.519 --> 00:17:42.859
 those for

00:17:42.859 --> 00:17:43.279
 a moment

00:17:43.279 --> 00:17:45.200
 Jesus

00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:46.200
 wants your

00:17:46.200 --> 00:17:46.920
 prayers to

00:17:46.920 --> 00:17:47.420
 take in

00:17:47.420 --> 00:17:47.940
 the big

00:17:47.940 --> 00:17:49.059
 picture of

00:17:49.059 --> 00:17:49.740
 his plans

00:17:49.740 --> 00:17:50.379
 the big

00:17:50.379 --> 00:17:51.279
 scope

00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:51.879
 we so often

00:17:51.879 --> 00:17:52.440
 limit our

00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:52.799
 prayers

00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:53.639
 God bless

00:17:53.639 --> 00:17:54.220
 Aunt Molly

00:17:54.220 --> 00:17:54.940
 God bless

00:17:54.940 --> 00:17:55.839
 my dear

00:17:55.839 --> 00:17:56.259
 wife

00:17:56.259 --> 00:17:57.420
 God bless

00:17:57.420 --> 00:17:58.460
 we move on

00:17:58.460 --> 00:17:58.980
 very quickly

00:17:58.980 --> 00:17:59.539
 may it not

00:17:59.539 --> 00:18:00.299
 rain tomorrow

00:18:00.299 --> 00:18:00.899
 when I'm

00:18:00.899 --> 00:18:01.599
 cycling to

00:18:01.599 --> 00:18:01.960
 work or

00:18:01.960 --> 00:18:02.180
 whatever

00:18:02.180 --> 00:18:04.319
 God wants

00:18:04.319 --> 00:18:05.019
 our prayers

00:18:05.019 --> 00:18:05.920
 to encompass

00:18:05.920 --> 00:18:07.059
 really big

00:18:07.059 --> 00:18:07.680
 things

00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:08.819
 the biggest

00:18:08.819 --> 00:18:09.619
 things in

00:18:09.619 --> 00:18:09.940
 fact

00:18:09.940 --> 00:18:10.779
 things to do

00:18:10.779 --> 00:18:11.200
 with his

00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:11.680
 name

00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:12.420
 which there

00:18:12.420 --> 00:18:12.759
 is nothing

00:18:12.759 --> 00:18:13.220
 greater

00:18:13.220 --> 00:18:13.940
 and his

00:18:13.940 --> 00:18:14.420
 kingdom

00:18:14.420 --> 00:18:16.920
 and he

00:18:16.920 --> 00:18:17.539
 wants us to

00:18:17.539 --> 00:18:18.640
 tear ourselves

00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:19.660
 away for a

00:18:19.660 --> 00:18:20.560
 while from

00:18:20.560 --> 00:18:21.340
 my obsession

00:18:21.340 --> 00:18:22.200
 with self

00:18:22.200 --> 00:18:23.940
 and to

00:18:23.940 --> 00:18:24.380
 attach

00:18:24.380 --> 00:18:24.779
 myself

00:18:24.779 --> 00:18:25.980
 to these

00:18:25.980 --> 00:18:26.940
 grander

00:18:26.940 --> 00:18:27.580
 things

00:18:27.580 --> 00:18:28.380
 not just my

00:18:28.380 --> 00:18:28.900
 own goals

00:18:28.900 --> 00:18:29.440
 not just how

00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:29.960
 my health

00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:30.519
 is or how

00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:31.580
 my family

00:18:31.580 --> 00:18:33.039
 are or what

00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:33.720
 my relationships

00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:34.440
 are like or my

00:18:34.440 --> 00:18:35.140
 job situation

00:18:35.140 --> 00:18:36.560
 is but God's

00:18:36.560 --> 00:18:37.100
 agenda

00:18:37.099 --> 00:18:39.419
 you come to

00:18:39.419 --> 00:18:39.719
 God in

00:18:39.719 --> 00:18:39.939
 prayer

00:18:39.939 --> 00:18:40.379
 maybe you

00:18:40.379 --> 00:18:41.759
 come exhausted

00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:42.859
 maybe you

00:18:42.859 --> 00:18:44.099
 come deeply

00:18:44.099 --> 00:18:44.819
 disappointed

00:18:44.819 --> 00:18:45.639
 about something

00:18:45.639 --> 00:18:47.019
 maybe you

00:18:47.019 --> 00:18:47.519
 come with

00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:48.759
 ongoing pain

00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:49.199
 whether it's

00:18:49.199 --> 00:18:50.539
 physical or

00:18:50.539 --> 00:18:51.519
 something else

00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:53.179
 and first he

00:18:53.179 --> 00:18:54.019
 calls you to

00:18:54.019 --> 00:18:54.439
 say

00:18:54.439 --> 00:18:55.619
 father

00:18:55.619 --> 00:18:57.919
 hallowed be

00:18:57.919 --> 00:18:58.980
 your name

00:18:58.980 --> 00:19:00.819
 your kingdom

00:19:00.819 --> 00:19:01.719
 come

00:19:01.720 --> 00:19:03.220
 because hey

00:19:03.220 --> 00:19:03.660
 it's not about

00:19:03.660 --> 00:19:03.960
 you

00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:05.019
 it's not about

00:19:05.019 --> 00:19:05.279
 me

00:19:05.279 --> 00:19:06.460
 it's about

00:19:06.460 --> 00:19:06.779
 him

00:19:06.779 --> 00:19:08.720
 and he knows

00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:09.400
 actually that the

00:19:09.400 --> 00:19:09.980
 things that will

00:19:09.980 --> 00:19:11.380
 thrill you most

00:19:11.380 --> 00:19:12.880
 more than anything

00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:13.680
 in fact if we

00:19:13.680 --> 00:19:14.539
 begin to understand

00:19:14.539 --> 00:19:15.079
 them are not

00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:15.920
 things to do with

00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:16.680
 us our immediate

00:19:16.680 --> 00:19:17.620
 concerns to things

00:19:17.620 --> 00:19:18.640
 but are to do with

00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:19.299
 his nature

00:19:19.299 --> 00:19:20.400
 his name

00:19:20.400 --> 00:19:21.539
 and his

00:19:21.539 --> 00:19:22.539
 kingdom

00:19:22.539 --> 00:19:24.000
 otherwise we

00:19:24.000 --> 00:19:24.299
 were like

00:19:24.299 --> 00:19:25.220
 chickens scratching

00:19:25.220 --> 00:19:25.880
 around in the dirt

00:19:25.880 --> 00:19:26.660
 not looking up

00:19:26.660 --> 00:19:28.019
 at the glories of the

00:19:28.019 --> 00:19:28.779
 sky that's the

00:19:28.779 --> 00:19:30.019
 message of the

00:19:30.019 --> 00:19:31.339
 first half of the

00:19:31.339 --> 00:19:31.639
 prayer

00:19:31.639 --> 00:19:32.559
 God first

00:19:32.559 --> 00:19:33.720
 then we get

00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:34.339
 ourselves in

00:19:34.339 --> 00:19:35.559
 proper perspective

00:19:35.559 --> 00:19:37.279
 what should shape

00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:37.740
 my prayers

00:19:37.740 --> 00:19:38.339
 the father's

00:19:38.339 --> 00:19:38.779
 nature

00:19:38.779 --> 00:19:39.700
 the father's

00:19:39.700 --> 00:19:40.059
 name

00:19:40.059 --> 00:19:41.220
 and the father's

00:19:41.220 --> 00:19:41.619
 kingdom

00:19:41.619 --> 00:19:42.900
 but

00:19:42.900 --> 00:19:43.779
 wonderfully

00:19:43.779 --> 00:19:44.579
 God does not

00:19:44.579 --> 00:19:45.220
 ignore

00:19:45.220 --> 00:19:46.579
 our own needs

00:19:46.579 --> 00:19:48.079
 he is very

00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:48.900
 concerned about

00:19:48.900 --> 00:19:49.440
 you and me

00:19:49.440 --> 00:19:50.879
 the detail of

00:19:50.879 --> 00:19:51.480
 our lives

00:19:51.480 --> 00:19:52.980
 he wants the

00:19:52.980 --> 00:19:53.819
 best for us

00:19:53.819 --> 00:19:55.039
 as verse 13

00:19:55.039 --> 00:19:55.920
 makes very clear

00:19:55.920 --> 00:19:57.240
 and the fourth

00:19:57.240 --> 00:19:58.420
 fifth and sixth

00:19:58.420 --> 00:19:59.200
 things that should

00:19:59.200 --> 00:19:59.960
 shape our prayers

00:19:59.960 --> 00:20:01.100
 are there in

00:20:01.100 --> 00:20:02.279
 verse 3 and 4

00:20:02.279 --> 00:20:04.420
 first of all

00:20:04.420 --> 00:20:05.039
 our own

00:20:05.039 --> 00:20:05.720
 provision

00:20:05.720 --> 00:20:06.920
 our own provision

00:20:06.920 --> 00:20:07.740
 in verse 3

00:20:07.740 --> 00:20:09.579
 give us each

00:20:09.579 --> 00:20:10.019
 day

00:20:10.019 --> 00:20:11.340
 our daily

00:20:11.340 --> 00:20:11.759
 bread

00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:14.559
 God is not

00:20:14.559 --> 00:20:15.220
 interested in

00:20:15.220 --> 00:20:15.860
 dualism

00:20:15.860 --> 00:20:16.660
 he is not

00:20:16.660 --> 00:20:18.160
 interested in

00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:18.740
 us seeing

00:20:18.740 --> 00:20:19.539
 ourselves as

00:20:19.539 --> 00:20:20.420
 bodies on the

00:20:20.420 --> 00:20:21.059
 one hand

00:20:21.059 --> 00:20:22.100
 and mind

00:20:22.100 --> 00:20:22.779
 and spirit

00:20:22.779 --> 00:20:23.480
 over there

00:20:23.480 --> 00:20:24.079
 and he is only

00:20:24.079 --> 00:20:24.660
 concerned about

00:20:24.660 --> 00:20:25.059
 your mind

00:20:25.059 --> 00:20:25.620
 and spirit

00:20:25.620 --> 00:20:26.720
 now he made

00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:27.799
 you as a

00:20:27.799 --> 00:20:28.480
 physical human

00:20:28.480 --> 00:20:28.759
 being

00:20:28.759 --> 00:20:29.440
 he cares about

00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:29.920
 your body

00:20:29.920 --> 00:20:30.220
 he knows

00:20:30.220 --> 00:20:30.500
 you've got

00:20:30.500 --> 00:20:30.920
 needs

00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:31.759
 and all

00:20:31.759 --> 00:20:32.100
 those sorts

00:20:32.100 --> 00:20:32.539
 of things

00:20:32.539 --> 00:20:33.160
 the bible

00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:33.600
 is full of

00:20:33.600 --> 00:20:34.259
 examples where

00:20:34.259 --> 00:20:34.900
 he feeds

00:20:34.900 --> 00:20:35.440
 his people

00:20:35.440 --> 00:20:36.160
 with manna

00:20:36.160 --> 00:20:37.299
 Elijah being

00:20:37.299 --> 00:20:37.759
 fed with

00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:38.039
 bread

00:20:38.039 --> 00:20:38.420
 wonderfully

00:20:38.420 --> 00:20:38.960
 by the

00:20:38.960 --> 00:20:39.340
 ravens

00:20:39.340 --> 00:20:40.019
 Jesus feeding

00:20:40.019 --> 00:20:40.759
 the 5000

00:20:40.759 --> 00:20:41.940
 he knows

00:20:41.940 --> 00:20:42.240
 that you

00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:42.700
 need something

00:20:42.700 --> 00:20:43.019
 on your

00:20:43.019 --> 00:20:43.480
 table

00:20:43.480 --> 00:20:44.299
 to eat

00:20:44.299 --> 00:20:45.700
 perhaps you

00:20:45.700 --> 00:20:46.220
 thank God

00:20:46.220 --> 00:20:46.660
 for your

00:20:46.660 --> 00:20:47.299
 food and

00:20:47.299 --> 00:20:47.980
 meal times

00:20:47.980 --> 00:20:49.360
 let me ask

00:20:49.360 --> 00:20:49.559
 you

00:20:49.559 --> 00:20:50.380
 when did

00:20:50.380 --> 00:20:50.980
 you last

00:20:50.980 --> 00:20:52.120
 ask him

00:20:52.120 --> 00:20:52.640
 to provide

00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:53.299
 your next

00:20:53.299 --> 00:20:53.680
 meal

00:20:53.680 --> 00:20:54.940
 when did

00:20:54.940 --> 00:20:55.299
 you last

00:20:55.299 --> 00:20:55.620
 ask him

00:20:55.620 --> 00:20:56.039
 to provide

00:20:56.039 --> 00:20:56.559
 your next

00:20:56.559 --> 00:20:56.799
 meal

00:20:56.799 --> 00:20:57.200
 not just

00:20:57.200 --> 00:20:57.580
 thank him

00:20:57.580 --> 00:20:57.779
 for the

00:20:57.779 --> 00:20:58.019
 one you

00:20:58.019 --> 00:20:58.480
 just had

00:20:58.480 --> 00:20:58.879
 or about

00:20:58.879 --> 00:20:59.359
 to have

00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:01.799
 there are

00:21:01.799 --> 00:21:02.240
 many things

00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:02.460
 that we

00:21:02.460 --> 00:21:03.039
 take for

00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:03.460
 granted

00:21:03.460 --> 00:21:05.839
 but actually

00:21:05.839 --> 00:21:06.639
 we depend

00:21:06.639 --> 00:21:07.059
 on

00:21:07.059 --> 00:21:08.099
 more than

00:21:08.099 --> 00:21:08.700
 just bread

00:21:08.700 --> 00:21:09.460
 maybe it's

00:21:09.460 --> 00:21:10.839
 your next

00:21:10.839 --> 00:21:11.720
 salary check

00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:14.259
 give us

00:21:14.259 --> 00:21:15.279
 each month

00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:16.019
 our salary

00:21:16.019 --> 00:21:16.339
 check

00:21:16.339 --> 00:21:16.799
 that's a good

00:21:16.799 --> 00:21:17.460
 prayer to pray

00:21:17.460 --> 00:21:18.039
 because actually

00:21:18.039 --> 00:21:18.519
 it says

00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:19.920
 that comes

00:21:19.920 --> 00:21:20.519
 not from

00:21:20.519 --> 00:21:21.339
 my boss

00:21:21.339 --> 00:21:22.220
 but from

00:21:22.220 --> 00:21:22.559
 God

00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:23.139
 ultimately

00:21:23.140 --> 00:21:25.320
 and whether

00:21:25.320 --> 00:21:25.960
 you use

00:21:25.960 --> 00:21:26.800
 these words

00:21:26.800 --> 00:21:27.259
 or not

00:21:27.259 --> 00:21:27.800
 if we take

00:21:27.800 --> 00:21:28.180
 on this

00:21:28.180 --> 00:21:28.880
 attitude

00:21:28.880 --> 00:21:30.380
 it tells

00:21:30.380 --> 00:21:31.480
 our forgetful

00:21:31.480 --> 00:21:33.060
 self-sufficient

00:21:33.060 --> 00:21:33.660
 hearts

00:21:33.660 --> 00:21:34.740
 that actually

00:21:34.740 --> 00:21:35.560
 we rely

00:21:35.560 --> 00:21:36.300
 on him

00:21:36.300 --> 00:21:37.340
 even for

00:21:37.340 --> 00:21:38.040
 the basics

00:21:38.040 --> 00:21:39.040
 this is a

00:21:39.040 --> 00:21:39.800
 prayer of

00:21:39.800 --> 00:21:40.420
 deep trust

00:21:40.420 --> 00:21:41.000
 and notice

00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:42.340
 Jesus says

00:21:42.340 --> 00:21:42.860
 give us

00:21:42.860 --> 00:21:43.700
 each day

00:21:43.700 --> 00:21:44.840
 our daily

00:21:44.840 --> 00:21:45.300
 bread

00:21:45.300 --> 00:21:45.880
 doubly

00:21:45.880 --> 00:21:46.620
 reinforced

00:21:46.620 --> 00:21:47.980
 it's not a

00:21:47.980 --> 00:21:48.820
 year's supply

00:21:48.820 --> 00:21:49.660
 in advance

00:21:49.660 --> 00:21:51.840
 maybe you're

00:21:51.840 --> 00:21:52.740
 concerned at

00:21:52.740 --> 00:21:53.060
 the moment

00:21:53.060 --> 00:21:54.060
 about future

00:21:54.060 --> 00:21:54.600
 provision

00:21:54.600 --> 00:21:55.380
 of one

00:21:55.380 --> 00:21:55.759
 thing or

00:21:55.759 --> 00:21:56.080
 another

00:21:56.080 --> 00:21:58.080
 Jesus would

00:21:58.080 --> 00:21:58.440
 have you

00:21:58.440 --> 00:21:59.040
 to pray

00:21:59.040 --> 00:21:59.519
 and to

00:21:59.519 --> 00:22:00.140
 trust him

00:22:00.140 --> 00:22:00.660
 for every

00:22:00.660 --> 00:22:01.080
 day

00:22:01.080 --> 00:22:02.779
 even when

00:22:02.779 --> 00:22:03.400
 you can't

00:22:03.400 --> 00:22:03.700
 see the

00:22:03.700 --> 00:22:04.060
 whole

00:22:04.060 --> 00:22:04.980
 even when

00:22:04.980 --> 00:22:05.380
 you can't

00:22:05.380 --> 00:22:05.660
 see the

00:22:05.660 --> 00:22:05.940
 future

00:22:05.940 --> 00:22:06.420
 provision

00:22:06.420 --> 00:22:08.440
 and he

00:22:08.440 --> 00:22:08.759
 will say

00:22:08.759 --> 00:22:09.140
 more about

00:22:09.140 --> 00:22:09.420
 that in

00:22:09.420 --> 00:22:10.160
 chapter 12

00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:11.759
 maybe these

00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:12.060
 are words

00:22:12.060 --> 00:22:12.320
 you need

00:22:12.320 --> 00:22:12.660
 to hear

00:22:12.660 --> 00:22:13.560
 chapter 12

00:22:13.560 --> 00:22:14.140
 verse 29

00:22:14.140 --> 00:22:14.480
 I'm just

00:22:14.480 --> 00:22:14.720
 flicking

00:22:14.720 --> 00:22:15.080
 over the

00:22:15.080 --> 00:22:15.320
 page

00:22:15.320 --> 00:22:15.680
 do not

00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:16.180
 set your

00:22:16.180 --> 00:22:16.600
 heart

00:22:16.600 --> 00:22:17.000
 on what

00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:17.259
 you will

00:22:17.259 --> 00:22:17.660
 eat or

00:22:17.660 --> 00:22:18.060
 drink

00:22:18.060 --> 00:22:18.980
 do not

00:22:18.980 --> 00:22:19.300
 worry

00:22:19.299 --> 00:22:19.859
 about it

00:22:19.859 --> 00:22:20.200
 for the

00:22:20.200 --> 00:22:20.559
 pagan

00:22:20.559 --> 00:22:21.019
 world

00:22:21.019 --> 00:22:21.480
 runs

00:22:21.480 --> 00:22:22.200
 after all

00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:22.480
 such

00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:22.919
 things

00:22:22.919 --> 00:22:23.940
 and your

00:22:23.940 --> 00:22:24.399
 father

00:22:24.399 --> 00:22:24.960
 knows

00:22:24.960 --> 00:22:25.319
 that you

00:22:25.319 --> 00:22:25.619
 need

00:22:25.619 --> 00:22:25.879
 them

00:22:25.879 --> 00:22:27.139
 but seek

00:22:27.139 --> 00:22:27.680
 his kingdom

00:22:27.680 --> 00:22:28.700
 and these

00:22:28.700 --> 00:22:29.279
 things will

00:22:29.279 --> 00:22:29.700
 be given

00:22:29.700 --> 00:22:30.379
 to you

00:22:30.379 --> 00:22:31.379
 as well

00:22:31.379 --> 00:22:33.799
 is this an

00:22:33.799 --> 00:22:34.319
 element that

00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:34.960
 could be missing

00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:35.500
 from your

00:22:35.500 --> 00:22:35.919
 prayers

00:22:35.919 --> 00:22:36.659
 this dependence

00:22:36.659 --> 00:22:38.079
 on God

00:22:38.079 --> 00:22:39.019
 for your

00:22:39.019 --> 00:22:39.619
 basic

00:22:39.619 --> 00:22:40.579
 physical

00:22:40.579 --> 00:22:41.720
 needs

00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:43.519
 is missing

00:22:43.519 --> 00:22:44.039
 the danger

00:22:44.039 --> 00:22:44.579
 is we just

00:22:44.579 --> 00:22:45.059
 become

00:22:45.059 --> 00:22:46.079
 wrongly

00:22:46.079 --> 00:22:46.899
 self-sufficient

00:22:46.899 --> 00:22:48.859
 in a way

00:22:48.859 --> 00:22:49.419
 that does

00:22:49.419 --> 00:22:50.099
 not help

00:22:50.099 --> 00:22:50.439
 us

00:22:50.439 --> 00:22:51.299
 understand

00:22:51.299 --> 00:22:51.719
 his good

00:22:51.719 --> 00:22:52.099
 provision

00:22:52.099 --> 00:22:52.539
 for us

00:22:52.539 --> 00:22:52.759
 and our

00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:53.139
 dependence

00:22:53.139 --> 00:22:53.699
 on him

00:22:53.699 --> 00:22:55.919
 as well

00:22:55.919 --> 00:22:56.299
 as our

00:22:56.299 --> 00:22:56.519
 own

00:22:56.519 --> 00:22:57.000
 provision

00:22:57.000 --> 00:22:57.419
 Jesus

00:22:57.419 --> 00:22:58.019
 tells us

00:22:58.019 --> 00:22:58.539
 to pray

00:22:58.539 --> 00:22:59.419
 for our

00:22:59.419 --> 00:22:59.740
 own

00:22:59.740 --> 00:23:00.419
 pardon

00:23:00.419 --> 00:23:01.659
 so it's

00:23:01.659 --> 00:23:01.979
 the second

00:23:01.979 --> 00:23:02.519
 thing we're

00:23:02.519 --> 00:23:02.819
 to pray

00:23:02.819 --> 00:23:03.319
 for for

00:23:03.319 --> 00:23:03.759
 ourselves

00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:04.159
 our own

00:23:04.159 --> 00:23:04.559
 provision

00:23:04.559 --> 00:23:05.479
 and secondly

00:23:05.479 --> 00:23:05.979
 our own

00:23:05.979 --> 00:23:06.459
 pardon

00:23:06.459 --> 00:23:07.959
 verse 4

00:23:07.959 --> 00:23:09.959
 forgive us

00:23:09.959 --> 00:23:11.219
 our sins

00:23:11.219 --> 00:23:13.119
 for we also

00:23:13.119 --> 00:23:13.959
 forgive everyone

00:23:13.959 --> 00:23:14.740
 who sins

00:23:14.740 --> 00:23:15.859
 against us

00:23:15.859 --> 00:23:16.159
 I think the

00:23:16.159 --> 00:23:16.939
 ESV uses

00:23:16.939 --> 00:23:17.679
 language of

00:23:17.679 --> 00:23:18.279
 debt and

00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:19.119
 indebtedness

00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:20.699
 so if

00:23:20.699 --> 00:23:21.319
 bread is my

00:23:21.319 --> 00:23:22.139
 basic physical

00:23:22.139 --> 00:23:22.819
 need then

00:23:22.819 --> 00:23:23.679
 pardon

00:23:23.679 --> 00:23:24.299
 forgiveness

00:23:24.299 --> 00:23:25.719
 that declaration

00:23:25.719 --> 00:23:26.279
 from God

00:23:26.279 --> 00:23:26.740
 that I am

00:23:26.740 --> 00:23:27.119
 forgiven

00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:28.240
 in his side

00:23:28.240 --> 00:23:28.579
 that's my

00:23:28.579 --> 00:23:29.519
 basic spiritual

00:23:29.519 --> 00:23:29.899
 need

00:23:29.899 --> 00:23:30.659
 isn't it

00:23:30.659 --> 00:23:31.619
 it reminds

00:23:31.619 --> 00:23:32.679
 me that

00:23:32.679 --> 00:23:33.419
 the very fact

00:23:33.419 --> 00:23:34.139
 I can pray

00:23:34.139 --> 00:23:34.699
 to him at

00:23:34.699 --> 00:23:35.579
 all is

00:23:35.579 --> 00:23:36.119
 based on

00:23:36.119 --> 00:23:36.979
 his forgiveness

00:23:36.979 --> 00:23:38.299
 of me

00:23:38.299 --> 00:23:39.899
 you might say

00:23:39.899 --> 00:23:40.779
 well why

00:23:40.779 --> 00:23:41.419
 why do I need

00:23:41.419 --> 00:23:41.939
 to keep his

00:23:41.939 --> 00:23:42.299
 forgiveness

00:23:42.299 --> 00:23:44.379
 in the forefront

00:23:44.379 --> 00:23:44.759
 of my

00:23:44.759 --> 00:23:45.139
 minds

00:23:45.139 --> 00:23:45.619
 regularly

00:23:45.619 --> 00:23:46.480
 well a couple

00:23:46.480 --> 00:23:46.899
 of reasons

00:23:46.899 --> 00:23:47.480
 because we

00:23:47.480 --> 00:23:48.720
 forget the

00:23:48.720 --> 00:23:49.460
 sinfulness of

00:23:49.460 --> 00:23:50.359
 sin don't we

00:23:50.359 --> 00:23:51.779
 we forget just

00:23:51.779 --> 00:23:52.680
 what it costs

00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:52.980
 him

00:23:52.980 --> 00:23:54.339
 the son of

00:23:54.339 --> 00:23:55.200
 God went

00:23:55.200 --> 00:23:55.919
 to the cross

00:23:55.919 --> 00:23:57.500
 because of the

00:23:57.500 --> 00:23:58.440
 sort of thoughts

00:23:58.440 --> 00:23:59.480
 and words

00:23:59.480 --> 00:24:00.220
 and deeds

00:24:00.220 --> 00:24:00.839
 that you have

00:24:00.839 --> 00:24:01.639
 exhibited this

00:24:01.639 --> 00:24:01.940
 week

00:24:01.940 --> 00:24:03.299
 that's why

00:24:03.299 --> 00:24:04.019
 Jesus died

00:24:04.019 --> 00:24:05.379
 we mustn't

00:24:05.379 --> 00:24:06.519
 forget that

00:24:06.519 --> 00:24:07.839
 he gave

00:24:07.839 --> 00:24:08.460
 his life

00:24:08.460 --> 00:24:09.079
 so that

00:24:09.079 --> 00:24:09.740
 you and I

00:24:09.740 --> 00:24:10.039
 can be

00:24:10.039 --> 00:24:10.399
 forgiven

00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:12.120
 that's one

00:24:12.120 --> 00:24:12.960
 reason we

00:24:12.960 --> 00:24:13.400
 need to

00:24:13.400 --> 00:24:15.200
 remember his

00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:15.880
 forgiveness of

00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:16.660
 us and not

00:24:16.660 --> 00:24:17.140
 forget the

00:24:17.140 --> 00:24:17.860
 wonder of

00:24:17.860 --> 00:24:18.160
 it

00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:19.300
 secondly

00:24:19.300 --> 00:24:20.440
 we need to

00:24:20.440 --> 00:24:21.220
 keep forgiveness

00:24:21.220 --> 00:24:21.800
 in the forefront

00:24:21.800 --> 00:24:22.340
 of our minds

00:24:22.340 --> 00:24:23.240
 because we

00:24:23.240 --> 00:24:23.700
 keep on

00:24:23.700 --> 00:24:24.100
 sinning

00:24:24.100 --> 00:24:25.880
 and it's

00:24:25.880 --> 00:24:26.280
 not as though

00:24:26.280 --> 00:24:26.620
 we need to

00:24:26.620 --> 00:24:27.259
 be saved

00:24:27.259 --> 00:24:27.840
 over and

00:24:27.840 --> 00:24:28.420
 over again

00:24:28.420 --> 00:24:30.060
 but it's

00:24:30.060 --> 00:24:30.680
 to maintain

00:24:30.680 --> 00:24:31.340
 that free

00:24:31.340 --> 00:24:31.740
 flowing

00:24:31.740 --> 00:24:32.440
 relationship

00:24:32.440 --> 00:24:33.600
 with our

00:24:33.600 --> 00:24:33.880
 heavenly

00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:34.500
 father that

00:24:34.500 --> 00:24:34.960
 we need

00:24:34.960 --> 00:24:36.200
 to open

00:24:36.200 --> 00:24:36.820
 our mouths

00:24:36.820 --> 00:24:37.440
 acknowledge

00:24:37.440 --> 00:24:38.060
 confess

00:24:38.060 --> 00:24:38.640
 when we've

00:24:38.640 --> 00:24:39.340
 done something

00:24:39.339 --> 00:24:40.519
 that offends

00:24:40.519 --> 00:24:40.879
 him

00:24:40.879 --> 00:24:42.919
 so that our

00:24:42.919 --> 00:24:43.339
 relationship

00:24:43.339 --> 00:24:44.279
 can be free

00:24:44.279 --> 00:24:45.399
 and as it

00:24:45.399 --> 00:24:45.839
 should be

00:24:45.839 --> 00:24:46.399
 David knew

00:24:46.399 --> 00:24:46.779
 all about

00:24:46.779 --> 00:24:46.980
 that

00:24:46.980 --> 00:24:47.519
 when I

00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:48.259
 kept silence

00:24:48.259 --> 00:24:49.019
 my bones

00:24:49.019 --> 00:24:49.980
 wasted away

00:24:49.980 --> 00:24:51.039
 through my

00:24:51.039 --> 00:24:51.480
 groaning

00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:51.959
 all day

00:24:51.959 --> 00:24:52.299
 long

00:24:52.299 --> 00:24:52.839
 of course

00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:53.179
 when he

00:24:53.179 --> 00:24:54.000
 confessed it

00:24:54.000 --> 00:24:54.919
 he found

00:24:54.919 --> 00:24:55.619
 full freedom

00:24:55.619 --> 00:24:57.619
 and praying

00:24:57.619 --> 00:24:58.159
 this prayer

00:24:58.159 --> 00:24:58.639
 of course

00:24:58.639 --> 00:24:59.319
 is also a

00:24:59.319 --> 00:24:59.720
 commitment

00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:00.539
 to forgive

00:25:00.539 --> 00:25:01.319
 other people

00:25:01.319 --> 00:25:02.059
 we make

00:25:02.059 --> 00:25:02.539
 the mistake

00:25:02.539 --> 00:25:03.019
 don't we

00:25:03.019 --> 00:25:03.839
 forgiveness

00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:04.439
 is something

00:25:04.439 --> 00:25:04.919
 that I

00:25:04.919 --> 00:25:05.679
 receive from

00:25:05.679 --> 00:25:06.019
 God

00:25:06.019 --> 00:25:06.299
 and I

00:25:06.299 --> 00:25:06.720
 love it

00:25:06.720 --> 00:25:07.000
 and I

00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:07.319
 let it

00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:07.799
 wash over

00:25:07.799 --> 00:25:08.039
 me

00:25:08.039 --> 00:25:08.679
 and isn't

00:25:08.679 --> 00:25:09.139
 it great

00:25:09.140 --> 00:25:10.400
 and we

00:25:10.400 --> 00:25:10.720
 make the

00:25:10.720 --> 00:25:11.660
 same mistake

00:25:11.660 --> 00:25:11.920
 of the

00:25:11.920 --> 00:25:12.360
 unforgiving

00:25:12.360 --> 00:25:12.780
 servant

00:25:12.780 --> 00:25:13.200
 and we

00:25:13.200 --> 00:25:13.720
 live our

00:25:13.720 --> 00:25:14.120
 lives

00:25:14.120 --> 00:25:15.480
 failing to

00:25:15.480 --> 00:25:15.759
 forgive

00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:16.440
 other people

00:25:16.440 --> 00:25:16.960
 but if I

00:25:16.960 --> 00:25:17.640
 pray this

00:25:17.640 --> 00:25:18.640
 prayer regularly

00:25:18.640 --> 00:25:20.020
 I'm less

00:25:20.020 --> 00:25:20.700
 likely to do

00:25:20.700 --> 00:25:20.940
 that

00:25:20.940 --> 00:25:21.860
 because I'll

00:25:21.860 --> 00:25:22.400
 be reminded

00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:23.500
 that my

00:25:23.500 --> 00:25:23.860
 forgiveness

00:25:23.860 --> 00:25:24.480
 of others

00:25:24.480 --> 00:25:24.960
 is also

00:25:24.960 --> 00:25:25.480
 linked to

00:25:25.480 --> 00:25:26.120
 God's

00:25:26.120 --> 00:25:26.420
 forgiveness

00:25:26.420 --> 00:25:26.900
 of me

00:25:26.900 --> 00:25:29.800
 what should

00:25:29.800 --> 00:25:30.640
 shape my

00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:31.060
 prayers

00:25:31.060 --> 00:25:31.520
 our own

00:25:31.520 --> 00:25:32.020
 provision

00:25:32.020 --> 00:25:33.880
 our own

00:25:33.880 --> 00:25:34.380
 pardon

00:25:34.380 --> 00:25:35.460
 and lastly

00:25:35.460 --> 00:25:36.800
 our own

00:25:36.800 --> 00:25:37.480
 protection

00:25:37.480 --> 00:25:41.140
 second half

00:25:41.140 --> 00:25:41.480
 of verse

00:25:41.480 --> 00:25:41.819
 four

00:25:41.819 --> 00:25:42.460
 and lead

00:25:42.460 --> 00:25:43.140
 us not

00:25:43.140 --> 00:25:44.059
 into

00:25:44.059 --> 00:25:44.740
 temptation

00:25:44.740 --> 00:25:46.400
 lead us

00:25:46.400 --> 00:25:46.839
 not into

00:25:46.839 --> 00:25:47.400
 temptation

00:25:47.400 --> 00:25:48.700
 now

00:25:48.700 --> 00:25:49.880
 I think

00:25:49.880 --> 00:25:50.160
 it's a

00:25:50.160 --> 00:25:50.440
 verse

00:25:50.440 --> 00:25:51.160
 that

00:25:51.160 --> 00:25:52.180
 raises a

00:25:52.180 --> 00:25:52.299
 few

00:25:52.299 --> 00:25:52.940
 questions

00:25:52.940 --> 00:25:54.740
 firstly

00:25:54.740 --> 00:25:55.160
 what does

00:25:55.160 --> 00:25:55.360
 it mean

00:25:55.360 --> 00:25:56.160
 by temptation

00:25:56.160 --> 00:25:57.319
 sometimes the

00:25:57.319 --> 00:25:57.799
 bible means

00:25:57.799 --> 00:25:58.480
 trial

00:25:58.480 --> 00:25:59.220
 hard things

00:25:59.220 --> 00:25:59.700
 in life

00:25:59.700 --> 00:26:00.599
 sometimes it

00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:01.380
 means temptation

00:26:01.380 --> 00:26:01.819
 where somebody

00:26:01.819 --> 00:26:02.640
 wants me to

00:26:02.640 --> 00:26:03.740
 fall in some

00:26:03.740 --> 00:26:04.059
 way

00:26:04.059 --> 00:26:05.519
 if it's

00:26:05.519 --> 00:26:06.139
 temptation

00:26:06.139 --> 00:26:06.799
 well the bible

00:26:06.799 --> 00:26:07.339
 says that God

00:26:07.339 --> 00:26:07.919
 doesn't tempt

00:26:07.919 --> 00:26:08.220
 me

00:26:08.220 --> 00:26:09.599
 James 1

00:26:09.599 --> 00:26:11.099
 so why pray

00:26:11.099 --> 00:26:11.759
 that God

00:26:11.759 --> 00:26:12.460
 will not do

00:26:12.460 --> 00:26:13.000
 something that he

00:26:13.000 --> 00:26:13.279
 won't do

00:26:13.279 --> 00:26:13.599
 anyway

00:26:13.599 --> 00:26:14.940
 if it's

00:26:14.940 --> 00:26:15.879
 testing and

00:26:15.879 --> 00:26:16.319
 trial

00:26:16.319 --> 00:26:17.099
 well the bible

00:26:17.099 --> 00:26:17.700
 says we should

00:26:17.700 --> 00:26:18.379
 consider it

00:26:18.379 --> 00:26:19.099
 pure joy

00:26:19.099 --> 00:26:19.460
 when we

00:26:19.460 --> 00:26:19.839
 consider

00:26:19.839 --> 00:26:21.000
 sorry when we

00:26:21.000 --> 00:26:21.980
 undergo trials

00:26:21.980 --> 00:26:22.559
 of many kinds

00:26:22.559 --> 00:26:23.119
 so why should I

00:26:23.119 --> 00:26:23.480
 pray that I

00:26:23.480 --> 00:26:23.879
 don't have

00:26:23.879 --> 00:26:24.159
 that

00:26:24.159 --> 00:26:26.119
 but we also

00:26:26.119 --> 00:26:26.579
 know that

00:26:26.579 --> 00:26:27.000
 Jesus

00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:27.759
 as he

00:26:27.759 --> 00:26:28.119
 approached

00:26:28.119 --> 00:26:28.720
 the cross

00:26:28.720 --> 00:26:30.079
 even he

00:26:30.079 --> 00:26:31.299
 prayed to

00:26:31.299 --> 00:26:32.720
 avoid the

00:26:32.720 --> 00:26:33.740
 trial of

00:26:33.740 --> 00:26:34.339
 the cross

00:26:34.339 --> 00:26:35.140
 think of

00:26:35.140 --> 00:26:36.400
 Gethsemane

00:26:36.400 --> 00:26:37.400
 ultimately the

00:26:37.400 --> 00:26:38.539
 cross was his

00:26:38.539 --> 00:26:39.500
 goal he was

00:26:39.500 --> 00:26:40.180
 committed to

00:26:40.180 --> 00:26:40.759
 doing it and

00:26:40.759 --> 00:26:41.400
 yet he said

00:26:41.400 --> 00:26:42.420
 father take

00:26:42.420 --> 00:26:43.039
 this cup

00:26:43.039 --> 00:26:44.200
 from me

00:26:44.200 --> 00:26:45.900
 something that

00:26:45.900 --> 00:26:46.600
 ultimately was

00:26:46.600 --> 00:26:47.900
 good although

00:26:47.900 --> 00:26:49.220
 terrible but I

00:26:49.220 --> 00:26:49.920
 think it helps

00:26:49.920 --> 00:26:50.940
 us here because

00:26:50.940 --> 00:26:52.620
 our prayers might

00:26:52.620 --> 00:26:54.000
 be lord I

00:26:54.000 --> 00:26:54.559
 know that you

00:26:54.559 --> 00:26:55.259
 use everything

00:26:55.259 --> 00:26:55.980
 that happens to

00:26:55.980 --> 00:26:57.240
 me but I

00:26:57.240 --> 00:26:58.079
 don't welcome

00:26:58.079 --> 00:26:58.819
 those things

00:26:58.819 --> 00:26:59.119
 that could

00:26:59.119 --> 00:26:59.399
 knock me

00:26:59.399 --> 00:26:59.799
 off course

00:26:59.799 --> 00:27:00.059
 I don't

00:27:00.059 --> 00:27:00.879
 invite them

00:27:00.879 --> 00:27:01.559
 God please

00:27:01.559 --> 00:27:02.039
 as far as

00:27:02.039 --> 00:27:03.179
 possible keep

00:27:03.179 --> 00:27:03.639
 those things

00:27:03.639 --> 00:27:04.659
 from me and

00:27:04.659 --> 00:27:06.059
 yet not my

00:27:06.059 --> 00:27:06.799
 will but your

00:27:06.799 --> 00:27:09.579
 will perhaps

00:27:09.579 --> 00:27:10.000
 when it comes

00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:10.679
 to temptation

00:27:10.679 --> 00:27:11.980
 God please

00:27:11.980 --> 00:27:12.619
 lead me in

00:27:12.619 --> 00:27:13.740
 paths today

00:27:13.740 --> 00:27:15.379
 where I'm not

00:27:15.379 --> 00:27:15.679
 going to be

00:27:15.679 --> 00:27:16.259
 drawn into

00:27:16.259 --> 00:27:18.419
 sin I think

00:27:18.419 --> 00:27:18.699
 that's a

00:27:18.699 --> 00:27:19.319
 perfectly God

00:27:19.319 --> 00:27:20.399
 honouring prayer

00:27:20.399 --> 00:27:21.319
 and response to

00:27:21.319 --> 00:27:22.439
 Jesus words here

00:27:22.439 --> 00:27:23.079
 I don't know

00:27:23.079 --> 00:27:23.619
 exactly why

00:27:23.619 --> 00:27:24.439
 Jesus worded it

00:27:24.439 --> 00:27:25.500
 this way his

00:27:25.500 --> 00:27:26.419
 wisdom is far

00:27:26.419 --> 00:27:26.960
 beyond mine

00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:28.299
 but I do

00:27:28.299 --> 00:27:28.759
 know that if

00:27:28.759 --> 00:27:29.799
 prayed sincerely

00:27:29.799 --> 00:27:31.120
 it should make

00:27:31.120 --> 00:27:32.059
 us think twice

00:27:32.059 --> 00:27:33.579
 about temptation

00:27:33.579 --> 00:27:34.600
 we pray this in

00:27:34.600 --> 00:27:35.240
 the morning when

00:27:35.240 --> 00:27:36.160
 temptation rears

00:27:36.160 --> 00:27:37.200
 its head during

00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:38.220
 the day having

00:27:38.220 --> 00:27:39.779
 prayed this that

00:27:39.779 --> 00:27:40.740
 should prepare us

00:27:40.740 --> 00:27:41.519
 for what we

00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:42.940
 meet and

00:27:42.940 --> 00:27:43.819
 secondly of course

00:27:43.819 --> 00:27:44.640
 it's a stark

00:27:44.640 --> 00:27:45.500
 acknowledgement of

00:27:45.500 --> 00:27:46.140
 our weakness

00:27:46.140 --> 00:27:47.039
 it's basically

00:27:47.039 --> 00:27:47.880
 saying lord I'm

00:27:47.880 --> 00:27:50.259
 I'm weak I

00:27:50.259 --> 00:27:50.900
 acknowledge that I

00:27:50.900 --> 00:27:51.680
 could fall in a

00:27:51.680 --> 00:27:52.259
 million different

00:27:52.259 --> 00:27:52.940
 ways today

00:27:52.940 --> 00:27:55.660
 please sustain me

00:27:55.660 --> 00:27:57.320
 please uphold me

00:27:57.320 --> 00:27:59.400
 do you ever

00:27:59.400 --> 00:28:00.960
 begin your day

00:28:00.960 --> 00:28:01.860
 by doing this

00:28:01.860 --> 00:28:03.480
 by identifying

00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:04.700
 the key points

00:28:04.700 --> 00:28:05.519
 where you know

00:28:05.519 --> 00:28:06.240
 they're danger

00:28:06.240 --> 00:28:07.120
 points for you

00:28:07.120 --> 00:28:07.720
 and praying

00:28:07.720 --> 00:28:08.220
 ahead

00:28:08.220 --> 00:28:09.460
 I think that's

00:28:09.460 --> 00:28:10.019
 the spirit

00:28:10.019 --> 00:28:11.240
 of this prayer

00:28:11.240 --> 00:28:11.580
 here

00:28:11.580 --> 00:28:13.320
 does this

00:28:13.320 --> 00:28:13.860
 attitude

00:28:13.860 --> 00:28:15.519
 shape your

00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:16.000
 prayers

00:28:16.000 --> 00:28:16.660
 if not

00:28:16.660 --> 00:28:17.980
 how ready

00:28:17.980 --> 00:28:18.540
 will you be

00:28:18.540 --> 00:28:19.220
 when trial

00:28:19.220 --> 00:28:20.040
 or temptation

00:28:20.040 --> 00:28:21.540
 come your way

00:28:21.540 --> 00:28:22.019
 as they will

00:28:22.019 --> 00:28:22.180
 do

00:28:22.180 --> 00:28:22.759
 the soldier

00:28:22.759 --> 00:28:23.259
 who gives

00:28:23.259 --> 00:28:24.019
 no thoughts

00:28:24.019 --> 00:28:25.920
 to the dangers

00:28:25.920 --> 00:28:26.920
 and threats

00:28:26.920 --> 00:28:27.900
 is a soldier

00:28:27.900 --> 00:28:28.620
 in serious

00:28:28.620 --> 00:28:29.799
 danger of his

00:28:29.799 --> 00:28:30.160
 life

00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:33.340
 Jesus has

00:28:33.340 --> 00:28:33.880
 given us

00:28:33.880 --> 00:28:34.980
 this model

00:28:34.980 --> 00:28:35.860
 these six

00:28:35.860 --> 00:28:36.420
 things that

00:28:36.420 --> 00:28:36.940
 should shape

00:28:36.940 --> 00:28:38.180
 our prayers

00:28:38.180 --> 00:28:42.039
 and I

00:28:42.039 --> 00:28:42.539
 encourage you

00:28:42.539 --> 00:28:43.019
 to think about

00:28:43.019 --> 00:28:43.700
 how you can

00:28:43.700 --> 00:28:44.720
 have your

00:28:44.720 --> 00:28:45.900
 prayers shaped

00:28:45.900 --> 00:28:46.580
 by Jesus

00:28:46.580 --> 00:28:47.400
 words here

00:28:47.400 --> 00:28:48.740
 I've found it

00:28:48.740 --> 00:28:49.160
 challenging

00:28:49.160 --> 00:28:51.340
 we all have

00:28:51.340 --> 00:28:51.800
 different ways

00:28:51.800 --> 00:28:52.200
 of praying

00:28:52.200 --> 00:28:52.580
 don't we

00:28:52.580 --> 00:28:53.500
 I've found

00:28:53.500 --> 00:28:54.200
 that having

00:28:54.200 --> 00:28:54.660
 a series

00:28:54.660 --> 00:28:55.160
 of prayer

00:28:55.160 --> 00:28:55.580
 cards

00:28:55.580 --> 00:28:55.980
 and having

00:28:55.980 --> 00:28:56.360
 one

00:28:56.360 --> 00:28:57.220
 that faces

00:28:57.220 --> 00:28:57.620
 me every

00:28:57.620 --> 00:28:57.960
 day

00:28:57.960 --> 00:28:58.480
 with different

00:28:58.480 --> 00:28:58.980
 things on it

00:28:58.980 --> 00:28:59.720
 that really

00:28:59.720 --> 00:29:00.120
 helps me

00:29:00.120 --> 00:29:00.540
 to pray

00:29:00.540 --> 00:29:01.820
 having read

00:29:01.820 --> 00:29:02.360
 through this

00:29:02.360 --> 00:29:02.680
 and thought

00:29:02.680 --> 00:29:03.019
 about it

00:29:03.019 --> 00:29:03.259
 more

00:29:03.259 --> 00:29:04.240
 I've put

00:29:04.240 --> 00:29:04.620
 just one

00:29:04.620 --> 00:29:04.840
 of the

00:29:04.840 --> 00:29:05.220
 lines

00:29:05.220 --> 00:29:05.720
 on each

00:29:05.720 --> 00:29:05.980
 of those

00:29:05.980 --> 00:29:06.259
 prayer

00:29:06.259 --> 00:29:06.519
 cards

00:29:06.519 --> 00:29:06.860
 so each

00:29:06.860 --> 00:29:07.240
 day

00:29:07.240 --> 00:29:08.180
 I'll see

00:29:08.180 --> 00:29:08.680
 one of

00:29:08.680 --> 00:29:09.620
 the lines

00:29:09.620 --> 00:29:09.980
 of Jesus

00:29:09.980 --> 00:29:10.300
 prayers

00:29:10.300 --> 00:29:10.500
 and it

00:29:10.500 --> 00:29:10.860
 will help

00:29:10.860 --> 00:29:11.040
 me

00:29:11.040 --> 00:29:11.360
 to have

00:29:11.360 --> 00:29:11.580
 my

00:29:11.580 --> 00:29:11.900
 prayers

00:29:11.900 --> 00:29:12.400
 shaped

00:29:12.400 --> 00:29:13.400
 by his

00:29:13.400 --> 00:29:13.700
 words

00:29:13.700 --> 00:29:14.259
 I'd encourage

00:29:14.259 --> 00:29:14.519
 you to

00:29:14.519 --> 00:29:15.040
 think about

00:29:15.040 --> 00:29:15.980
 how you're

00:29:15.980 --> 00:29:16.300
 going to

00:29:16.300 --> 00:29:16.680
 not just

00:29:16.680 --> 00:29:17.040
 go away

00:29:17.040 --> 00:29:17.580
 from here

00:29:17.580 --> 00:29:18.580
!

00:29:19.160 --> 00:29:19.500
 move on

00:29:19.500 --> 00:29:19.900
 and go

00:29:19.900 --> 00:29:20.200
 back to

00:29:20.200 --> 00:29:20.519
 old ways

00:29:20.519 --> 00:29:20.860
 of praying

00:29:20.860 --> 00:29:21.580
 but just

00:29:21.580 --> 00:29:22.180
 continually

00:29:22.180 --> 00:29:22.880
 increasingly

00:29:22.880 --> 00:29:23.860
 have your

00:29:23.860 --> 00:29:24.180
 prayers

00:29:24.180 --> 00:29:24.840
 shaped by

00:29:24.840 --> 00:29:25.340
 what Jesus

00:29:25.340 --> 00:29:26.240
 says

00:29:26.240 --> 00:29:26.580
 and his

00:29:26.580 --> 00:29:27.180
 priorities

00:29:27.180 --> 00:29:30.259
 is the

00:29:30.259 --> 00:29:30.680
 father's

00:29:30.680 --> 00:29:31.220
 nature

00:29:31.220 --> 00:29:32.000
 missing

00:29:32.000 --> 00:29:33.660
 or the

00:29:33.660 --> 00:29:34.060
 honouring

00:29:34.060 --> 00:29:34.700
 of his

00:29:34.700 --> 00:29:35.120
 name

00:29:35.120 --> 00:29:35.620
 hallowing

00:29:35.620 --> 00:29:35.740
 it

00:29:35.740 --> 00:29:36.200
 setting it

00:29:36.200 --> 00:29:36.640
 aside

00:29:36.640 --> 00:29:37.380
 or his

00:29:37.380 --> 00:29:37.820
 kingdom

00:29:37.820 --> 00:29:39.340
 is it

00:29:39.340 --> 00:29:40.560
 your own

00:29:40.560 --> 00:29:41.080
 provision

00:29:41.080 --> 00:29:42.080
 and dependence

00:29:42.080 --> 00:29:42.759
 on him

00:29:42.759 --> 00:29:43.380
 is it your

00:29:43.380 --> 00:29:44.560
 sin and

00:29:44.560 --> 00:29:46.140
 thankfulness

00:29:46.140 --> 00:29:46.880
 praise of what

00:29:46.880 --> 00:29:47.180
 he's done

00:29:47.180 --> 00:29:47.620
 for you

00:29:47.620 --> 00:29:48.140
 and knowledge

00:29:48.140 --> 00:29:48.920
 that you need

00:29:48.920 --> 00:29:49.600
 to forgive

00:29:49.600 --> 00:29:50.120
 others as

00:29:50.120 --> 00:29:50.380
 well

00:29:50.380 --> 00:29:51.160
 or is it

00:29:51.160 --> 00:29:52.259
 the protection

00:29:52.259 --> 00:29:53.000
 that you need

00:29:53.000 --> 00:29:53.480
 for the day

00:29:53.480 --> 00:29:53.820
 ahead

00:29:53.820 --> 00:29:54.400
 which is it

00:29:54.400 --> 00:29:54.800
 for you

00:29:54.800 --> 00:29:55.420
 I want to

00:29:55.420 --> 00:29:55.880
 encourage you

00:29:55.880 --> 00:29:56.560
 to take a

00:29:56.560 --> 00:29:56.779
 moment

00:29:56.779 --> 00:29:57.420
 just to look

00:29:57.420 --> 00:29:57.720
 with your

00:29:57.720 --> 00:29:58.460
 bibles open

00:29:58.460 --> 00:30:00.320
 and that

00:30:00.320 --> 00:30:00.800
 prayer in

00:30:00.800 --> 00:30:01.440
 front of you

00:30:01.440 --> 00:30:02.640
 so we're

00:30:02.640 --> 00:30:02.880
 not going to

00:30:02.880 --> 00:30:03.500
 go straight

00:30:03.500 --> 00:30:04.019
 into our

00:30:04.019 --> 00:30:04.880
 closing song

00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:06.720
 but look

00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:07.259
 look over

00:30:07.259 --> 00:30:07.700
 that prayer

00:30:07.700 --> 00:30:08.039
 and perhaps

00:30:08.039 --> 00:30:09.140
 identify one

00:30:09.140 --> 00:30:09.480
 of them

00:30:09.480 --> 00:30:10.060
 one of those

00:30:10.060 --> 00:30:10.519
 things that

00:30:10.519 --> 00:30:10.960
 you look at

00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:11.200
 and think

00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:11.660
 actually

00:30:11.660 --> 00:30:13.019
 that hasn't

00:30:13.019 --> 00:30:13.420
 featured in

00:30:13.420 --> 00:30:13.860
 my prayers

00:30:13.860 --> 00:30:14.220
 for the last

00:30:14.220 --> 00:30:14.759
 six months

00:30:14.759 --> 00:30:16.779
 then why

00:30:16.779 --> 00:30:18.119
 not simply

00:30:18.119 --> 00:30:19.319
 identify it

00:30:19.319 --> 00:30:20.859
 take a

00:30:20.859 --> 00:30:21.319
 moment to

00:30:21.319 --> 00:30:22.279
 pray silently

00:30:22.279 --> 00:30:23.900
 and ask

00:30:23.900 --> 00:30:24.920
 for God's

00:30:24.920 --> 00:30:25.279
 help

00:30:25.279 --> 00:30:27.200
 and then in

00:30:27.200 --> 00:30:27.539
 a moment

00:30:27.539 --> 00:30:28.059
 we'll read

00:30:28.059 --> 00:30:28.500
 the prayer

00:30:28.500 --> 00:30:29.099
 all together

00:30:29.099 --> 00:30:29.539
 a

00:30:29.539 --> 00:30:29.539
