WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.120
 now can we turn together in our bibles to the book of matthew matthew chapter 6

00:00:09.120 --> 00:00:16.460
 and we'll read from verse 5 to verse 13 and hear what jesus says about prayer here

00:00:16.460 --> 00:00:24.500
 and when you pray do not be like the hypocrites for they love to pray standing in the synagogues

00:00:24.500 --> 00:00:30.859
 and on the street corners to be seen by others truly i tell you they have received their reward

00:00:30.859 --> 00:00:38.219
 in full but when you pray go into your room close the door and pray to your father who is unseen

00:00:38.219 --> 00:00:45.460
 then your father who sees what is done in secret will reward you now when you pray do not keep on

00:00:45.460 --> 00:00:51.500
 babbling like pagans for they think they will be heard because of their many words do not be like

00:00:51.500 --> 00:00:58.880
 them for your father knows what you need before you ask him this then is how you should pray our

00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:05.760
 father in heaven hallowed be your name your kingdom come your will be done on earth as it is in heaven

00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:12.760
 give us today our daily bread and forgive us our debts as we also have forgiven our debtors

00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:20.180
 and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from the evil one amen

00:01:20.180 --> 00:01:32.040
 it is fair to say that most people at some point in their lives will pray even if that is

00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:40.420
 somewhat vague and it's kind of a new age spirituality kind of thing most people will still at certain

00:01:40.420 --> 00:01:52.019
 points in life praying um and what jesus does for us is he reveals to us the difference between sort of a

00:01:52.019 --> 00:02:00.340
 vague spirituality that's sort of not sure what a person is connecting with and jesus shows how different

00:02:00.340 --> 00:02:10.020
 that is from the christian way of prayer because the new reality that jesus brings is that when he came

00:02:10.020 --> 00:02:22.280
 he always prayed to his father and he invites his followers after him to pray calling god our father so he's

00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:31.520
 inviting us into a relationship through prayer which is personal which is living which is direct this is a whole

00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:37.600
 other level of connection than anything sort of vague and impersonal

00:02:37.600 --> 00:02:44.960
 to read the gospels we discovered that the way jesus prayed often shocked the people around him it shocked

00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:51.320
 the pharisees who thought he was so presumptuous to dare to call god father

00:02:51.320 --> 00:02:58.719
 this kind of praying christian praying often shocks people of other faiths as well

00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:08.319
 and not used to this familiar kind of language it makes me think of one biography of a muslim convert

00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:16.719
 with the title i dared to call him father so the radical change of coming to be a follower of jesus

00:03:17.460 --> 00:03:24.460
 j.i packer a significant theologian from the last century says what we think about the fatherhood of god

00:03:24.460 --> 00:03:33.740
 it reveals much about our grasp of christianity how we understand god as father it will shape

00:03:33.740 --> 00:03:42.439
 our worship and our prayer and our way of life so our focus today and there's so much that we could say

00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:49.439
 about prayer so much we could say about how to pray our focus today is just to to bed ourselves into

00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:56.079
 this privilege and that we are invited by faith in jesus to pray to our father

00:03:56.079 --> 00:04:03.699
 that that our goal today would be to remind those of us who are christians simply of the joy and the

00:04:03.699 --> 00:04:10.079
 privilege that we have in being known by god as father in being able to call him father so that we

00:04:10.079 --> 00:04:17.339
 would enjoy our prayer life because we're enjoying our life with god and so the flip side of that if if

00:04:17.339 --> 00:04:21.659
 you're here today and you're not a christian um that you would see the beauty of the invitation of

00:04:21.659 --> 00:04:30.279
 christianity not to to know some impersonal a disconnected deity but to know god in a living

00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:38.179
 personal way as father how to pray but we're going to begin actually part part one today we're going to

00:04:38.179 --> 00:04:43.159
 think about how not to pray because that's how jesus begins in verses five to eight if you have your

00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:49.340
 bibles perhaps you can look at that section there when you pray jesus says do not be like the

00:04:49.340 --> 00:04:57.660
 hypocrites when you pray do not keep on babbling like pagans notice that jesus assumes that people

00:04:57.660 --> 00:05:04.660
 pray and we see this in our culture we see it when when a crisis comes or a tragedy comes

00:05:04.660 --> 00:05:11.400
 even if people are not of faith we will see a praying emojis and people talking about prayer

00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:18.739
 but jesus assumes yes people will pray but also that people may often go wrong in prayer

00:05:18.739 --> 00:05:28.979
 because we either miss or forget the character of god if we forget god is father if we don't know god

00:05:28.979 --> 00:05:35.039
 as father then then there'll be something lacking in our prayers and jesus points out two different ways

00:05:35.039 --> 00:05:39.719
 there's the way of the the hypocrite or the pharisee and jesus makes the point

00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:48.060
 to those who are listening don't try to use god so the pharisees did so so the example that that jesus

00:05:48.060 --> 00:05:57.440
 gives here is of a person who is doing their private prayer in public now let me find the busiest place

00:05:57.440 --> 00:06:04.380
 of the city the synagogue or or the meeting point of two streets and let me pray privately but publicly

00:06:04.379 --> 00:06:10.719
 why jesus says because what they're looking for is not to connect with god but to gain reputation and

00:06:10.719 --> 00:06:16.899
 standing in other words their religion is a means to an end their audience is people and not the living

00:06:16.899 --> 00:06:25.399
 god so jesus identifies this problem that we can easily use prayer as a means to an end jesus says

00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:29.659
 there's no reward in that well some people in this case might give them a well done for being very

00:06:29.660 --> 00:06:35.700
 religious but they wouldn't know god any better they wouldn't have enjoyed time with him what does

00:06:35.700 --> 00:06:42.060
 jesus say when you pray pray in secret then your father who sees what's done in secret will reward you

00:06:42.060 --> 00:06:49.900
 why does he talk about praying in secret praying before the audience of one when we pray in secret when we

00:06:49.900 --> 00:06:55.660
 want to spend time alone with god we have this wonderful promise that jesus meets his children there

00:06:55.660 --> 00:07:05.740
 the reward of making time alone with god the reward is that we get more of god it doesn't enhance our

00:07:05.740 --> 00:07:11.020
 reputation or standing we're not doing it simply to get stuff we want to know god better there's reward

00:07:11.020 --> 00:07:18.300
 in that and so there's a reminder for us at the beginning that we must meet god in secret we must meet god

00:07:18.300 --> 00:07:24.960
 personally perhaps if we've been brought up in a christian family or we're used to going to church we can

00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:35.859
 we can almost sort of gain our our prayer by by extension but god wants it to be personal and living for each one of us

00:07:35.859 --> 00:07:42.959
 in a sense there is a such a difference in jesus and the bible will say there's a difference between

00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:49.719
 knowing about god and pharisees and the hypocrites knew plenty about god and knowing god in a living way in a

00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:58.220
 direct way perhaps it reminds us to to be careful about the way that we pray the balance of our prayers you know it could be easy i

00:07:58.220 --> 00:08:03.720
 suspect for us to think about god as the sort of cosmic vending machine you know i i bring my prayer i put it in the

00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:06.620
 slot and i expect god to deliver

00:08:06.620 --> 00:08:13.959
 god is personal god is living and we pray to enjoy him

00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:15.240
 as father

00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:23.519
 so we don't pray like the hypocrites we also don't pray like the pagans what did the pagans do they kept on babbling and why did they do that

00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:25.240
 they're trying to force god

00:08:25.240 --> 00:08:30.879
 to conform to their plans and purposes so so the pagan thinking about god was

00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:34.759
 the gods there many got the gods must be persuaded

00:08:34.759 --> 00:08:45.939
 so so there needed to be cared about the volume of prayer the length of prayer the type of words that we use the location that a person pray the sacrifices that were brought

00:08:45.939 --> 00:08:53.179
 and perhaps the best place in the bible to see this is in the old testament story of elijah and the prophets of baal

00:08:53.179 --> 00:08:55.840
 elijah sets up the test for the sake of israel

00:08:55.840 --> 00:09:04.300
 let's let's build two altars two sacrifices and the god who answers by fire is the one true god and what do we see from the prophets of baal we see them

00:09:04.300 --> 00:09:11.480
 shouting and screaming and dancing and cutting themselves with knives all trying to get the attention of their god

00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:14.040
 and then elijah comes and prays personally

00:09:14.040 --> 00:09:17.000
 directly and god answers because god alone

00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:18.160
 is living

00:09:18.160 --> 00:09:21.200
 but the pagan way of thinking and perhaps

00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:27.620
 in our own hearts we recognize this some of us maybe because of our background or our circumstances

00:09:27.620 --> 00:09:29.879
 our natural thought

00:09:29.879 --> 00:09:33.520
 about god is that his instinct is to be in the first place

00:09:33.520 --> 00:09:35.660
 against us

00:09:35.660 --> 00:09:38.080
 and what i need to do is

00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:40.160
 earn god's attention

00:09:40.160 --> 00:09:42.480
 earn god's favor

00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:49.860
 and sometimes that means prayer can be used in a way to try and twist god's arm because we presume he is naturally not

00:09:49.860 --> 00:09:51.600
 for us

00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:54.500
 what does jesus say

00:09:54.500 --> 00:09:57.340
 he says don't be like them

00:09:57.340 --> 00:09:58.820
 just stop

00:09:58.820 --> 00:10:00.840
 stop and remember

00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:03.460
 we pray to a father

00:10:03.460 --> 00:10:05.399
 verse 8

00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:08.600
 do not be like them for your father knows what you need

00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:10.480
 before you ask him

00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:12.500
 he is father he loves us

00:10:12.500 --> 00:10:14.639
 he is father he welcomes us

00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:16.159
 he's the perfect father

00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:18.080
 he already knows what we need

00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:20.100
 and if you've got your bible

00:10:20.100 --> 00:10:22.720
 and you turn over to chapter 7

00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:25.480
 he gives that wonderful picture

00:10:25.480 --> 00:10:27.920
 which of you if your son asks for bread will give him a stone

00:10:27.920 --> 00:10:29.460
 hopefully nobody

00:10:29.460 --> 00:10:32.139
 or if he asks for a fish will give him a snake

00:10:32.139 --> 00:10:33.720
 again no one would do that

00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:34.720
 and then jesus says

00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:36.700
 if you then though you are evil

00:10:36.700 --> 00:10:39.100
 know how to give good gifts to your children

00:10:39.100 --> 00:10:41.020
 how much more

00:10:41.020 --> 00:10:42.200
 how much more

00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:45.600
 will your father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him

00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:48.240
 we come to a god who is generous

00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:49.700
 who is gracious

00:10:49.700 --> 00:10:52.340
 who is for his children

00:10:52.340 --> 00:10:55.279
 so we don't need to be like the pagans

00:10:55.279 --> 00:10:56.759
 we don't need fancy language

00:10:56.759 --> 00:10:58.259
 we don't need repeating phrases

00:10:58.259 --> 00:11:00.240
 and we don't need a mindset that says

00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:02.759
 i need to prove myself

00:11:02.759 --> 00:11:05.700
 to earn god's attention

00:11:05.700 --> 00:11:09.740
 our father in heaven is not like

00:11:09.740 --> 00:11:11.419
 a busy politician

00:11:11.419 --> 00:11:13.700
 or a busy work manager

00:11:13.700 --> 00:11:14.659
 where we need to

00:11:14.659 --> 00:11:16.700
 harass him with constant calls

00:11:16.700 --> 00:11:17.320
 and emails

00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:18.840
 to persuade him

00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:19.759
 that we could get

00:11:19.759 --> 00:11:21.159
 a minute of his time

00:11:21.159 --> 00:11:24.320
 actually our father is much more like

00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:26.299
 those zoom calls

00:11:26.299 --> 00:11:27.580
 that you've maybe been on

00:11:27.580 --> 00:11:28.919
 i was on one this week

00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:29.940
 and it made me think of this

00:11:29.940 --> 00:11:32.480
 maybe a work call

00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:33.399
 lots of responsible

00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:36.100
 responsible people in the room

00:11:36.100 --> 00:11:37.759
 and especially this happened a lot

00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:38.740
 during lockdown i think

00:11:38.740 --> 00:11:40.299
 you'd be in the middle of a meeting

00:11:40.299 --> 00:11:41.539
 important things being discussed

00:11:41.539 --> 00:11:43.319
 and maybe there's a dad on the call

00:11:43.319 --> 00:11:43.939
 and all of a sudden

00:11:43.939 --> 00:11:44.980
 the screen goes blank

00:11:44.980 --> 00:11:45.700
 and the next second

00:11:45.700 --> 00:11:46.519
 he's back

00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:47.659
 and he's got a kid on his knee

00:11:47.659 --> 00:11:49.720
 and there's another kid in the background

00:11:49.720 --> 00:11:50.319
 and coming in

00:11:50.319 --> 00:11:50.899
 and getting attention

00:11:50.899 --> 00:11:53.000
 and that's what our father is like

00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:55.259
 he's not too busy for us

00:11:55.259 --> 00:11:58.059
 where we do not distract him

00:11:58.059 --> 00:12:00.819
 he wants to know us

00:12:00.819 --> 00:12:02.919
 he wants us to spend time with him

00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:05.080
 and to trust his character

00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:05.879
 to know that we're free

00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:07.019
 to burst into the room

00:12:07.019 --> 00:12:09.120
 to approach with confidence

00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:12.419
 so we don't pray to force god

00:12:12.419 --> 00:12:14.819
 and also we don't pray

00:12:14.819 --> 00:12:16.319
 to try and impress god

00:12:16.319 --> 00:12:18.259
 when we know the gospel

00:12:18.259 --> 00:12:18.939
 we know that

00:12:18.939 --> 00:12:21.480
 jesus in his perfect obedience

00:12:21.480 --> 00:12:23.679
 in his sacrificing himself

00:12:23.679 --> 00:12:25.360
 for the sins of his people

00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:27.059
 has impressed god

00:12:27.059 --> 00:12:29.679
 and has earned favor for us

00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:31.100
 earned the grace of god

00:12:31.100 --> 00:12:32.019
 for us

00:12:32.019 --> 00:12:34.480
 so we pray trusting the gospel

00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:37.680
 and we pray trusting our good father

00:12:37.680 --> 00:12:42.220
 so just before we move to the lord's prayer

00:12:42.220 --> 00:12:44.019
 how do you today

00:12:44.019 --> 00:12:47.120
 view your life with god

00:12:47.120 --> 00:12:51.200
 perhaps you have read

00:12:51.200 --> 00:12:53.460
 some of those heartbreaking stories

00:12:53.460 --> 00:12:55.139
 that gets reported in the news

00:12:55.139 --> 00:12:56.600
 or perhaps in biographies

00:12:56.600 --> 00:12:59.580
 of children who are adopted

00:12:59.580 --> 00:13:01.939
 by a loving stable family

00:13:01.939 --> 00:13:04.759
 but they never managed to adapt

00:13:04.759 --> 00:13:06.059
 to that new surrounding

00:13:06.059 --> 00:13:09.539
 perhaps they never had a mum and dad

00:13:09.539 --> 00:13:11.240
 and so they continue to act like orphans

00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:13.679
 the lying continues

00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:14.980
 manipulating continues

00:13:14.980 --> 00:13:17.639
 perhaps hoarding food continues

00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:20.460
 love is there

00:13:20.460 --> 00:13:22.439
 in the house

00:13:22.439 --> 00:13:22.659
 but

00:13:22.659 --> 00:13:24.039
 but some

00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:26.399
 for a whole number of sad reasons

00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:28.039
 just can't receive it

00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:29.980
 perhaps thinking

00:13:29.980 --> 00:13:31.519
 I'm not worthy of this love

00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:34.980
 perhaps instinctively distrustful

00:13:34.980 --> 00:13:35.500
 of

00:13:35.500 --> 00:13:36.500
 another

00:13:36.500 --> 00:13:43.720
 would that describe our life with god

00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:49.399
 remember that trusting in jesus

00:13:49.399 --> 00:13:52.580
 trusting his death on the cross

00:13:52.580 --> 00:13:54.080
 to pay the price for our sin

00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:56.200
 changes our relationship

00:13:56.200 --> 00:13:57.600
 god is no longer our judge

00:13:57.600 --> 00:13:59.160
 he becomes our father

00:13:59.160 --> 00:14:03.279
 and the way is open through jesus

00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:04.800
 to know and enjoy

00:14:04.800 --> 00:14:07.180
 life with our father in heaven

00:14:07.180 --> 00:14:08.940
 to pray to him

00:14:08.940 --> 00:14:10.460
 to walk with him

00:14:10.460 --> 00:14:12.279
 that love is ours

00:14:12.279 --> 00:14:13.439
 and fellowship is ours

00:14:13.439 --> 00:14:14.679
 and security is ours

00:14:14.679 --> 00:14:16.120
 and peace is found

00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:17.679
 in our father

00:14:17.679 --> 00:14:23.779
 so it's an invitation for us to hear

00:14:23.779 --> 00:14:24.939
 jesus words

00:14:24.939 --> 00:14:27.699
 not to live as spiritual orphans

00:14:27.699 --> 00:14:29.919
 not to live at a distance from god

00:14:29.919 --> 00:14:31.959
 but to enjoy the privilege of being adopted

00:14:31.959 --> 00:14:33.120
 by our father in heaven

00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:34.459
 and pray to him as father

00:14:34.459 --> 00:14:40.000
 so if the first part of jesus teaching

00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:41.120
 is about how not to pray

00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:44.240
 he turns in verse 9 to 13

00:14:44.240 --> 00:14:44.860
 to teach us

00:14:44.860 --> 00:14:46.179
 how to pray

00:14:46.179 --> 00:14:47.620
 so from verse 9

00:14:47.620 --> 00:14:50.159
 to verse 13

00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:53.799
 whenever we're

00:14:53.799 --> 00:14:55.379
 learning anything

00:14:55.379 --> 00:14:56.279
 a new skill

00:14:56.279 --> 00:14:58.840
 it will typically be the case

00:14:58.840 --> 00:14:59.600
 that we are taught

00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:00.940
 certain key concepts

00:15:00.940 --> 00:15:02.279
 foundations are laid

00:15:02.279 --> 00:15:04.120
 upon which we then build

00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:06.120
 you need to learn the piano

00:15:06.120 --> 00:15:07.659
 well you probably get scales

00:15:07.659 --> 00:15:08.720
 coming fairly early

00:15:08.720 --> 00:15:10.120
 you need to learn a new language

00:15:10.120 --> 00:15:11.080
 you will get taught

00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:12.240
 the rules of grammar

00:15:12.240 --> 00:15:13.399
 and so on

00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:14.980
 and what jesus is doing

00:15:14.980 --> 00:15:16.159
 in the lord's prayer

00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:17.679
 is he's giving us a model

00:15:17.679 --> 00:15:20.240
 here is a pattern

00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:22.440
 here is a set of concepts

00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:23.860
 that we can pray

00:15:23.860 --> 00:15:24.600
 and use

00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:26.279
 and build on

00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:28.080
 to give shape

00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:29.860
 to our prayer lives

00:15:29.860 --> 00:15:31.899
 so yes we can use them

00:15:31.899 --> 00:15:33.060
 as they are

00:15:33.060 --> 00:15:34.560
 but also we can take the ideas

00:15:34.560 --> 00:15:36.039
 and we can expand them

00:15:36.039 --> 00:15:37.099
 and we can begin

00:15:37.099 --> 00:15:37.959
 to pray them

00:15:37.959 --> 00:15:39.199
 personally

00:15:39.199 --> 00:15:41.120
 and that's actually

00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:41.699
 what we're going to do

00:15:41.699 --> 00:15:42.620
 in our community groups

00:15:42.620 --> 00:15:43.399
 on Wednesday

00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:44.079
 to think about

00:15:44.079 --> 00:15:44.919
 how we can take

00:15:44.919 --> 00:15:45.639
 the lord's prayer

00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:47.240
 as a pattern

00:15:47.240 --> 00:15:49.500
 and to allow personal prayer

00:15:49.500 --> 00:15:50.399
 to flow from that

00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:51.799
 but just before we get

00:15:51.799 --> 00:15:52.579
 into the details

00:15:52.579 --> 00:15:54.360
 a few things to say

00:15:54.360 --> 00:15:54.919
 first of all

00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:56.599
 that the lord's prayer

00:15:56.599 --> 00:15:58.579
 gives the priority

00:15:58.579 --> 00:16:00.439
 of jesus

00:16:00.439 --> 00:16:01.159
 for us

00:16:01.159 --> 00:16:01.959
 for prayer

00:16:01.959 --> 00:16:03.240
 in the sense

00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:03.959
 that what comes first

00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:04.900
 is the glory of god

00:16:04.900 --> 00:16:06.639
 and the kingdom of god

00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:10.040
 probably runs counter

00:16:10.040 --> 00:16:11.440
 to the natural instincts

00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:12.259
 of our hearts

00:16:12.259 --> 00:16:14.280
 especially if we're

00:16:14.280 --> 00:16:15.660
 our tendency is to pray

00:16:15.660 --> 00:16:16.660
 when we need something

00:16:16.660 --> 00:16:17.620
 we want to rush straight

00:16:17.620 --> 00:16:18.480
 to you know

00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:19.080
 give us today

00:16:19.080 --> 00:16:20.180
 our bonhoeffer said

00:16:20.180 --> 00:16:21.420
 if we were left to ourselves

00:16:21.420 --> 00:16:22.100
 we'd always pray

00:16:22.100 --> 00:16:22.660
 give us today

00:16:22.660 --> 00:16:23.440
 our daily bread

00:16:23.440 --> 00:16:24.700
 probably not much else

00:16:24.700 --> 00:16:26.240
 now jesus reminds us

00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:27.100
 to begin focusing

00:16:27.100 --> 00:16:28.340
 on the glory of god

00:16:28.340 --> 00:16:29.879
 and pursuing the kingdom of god

00:16:29.879 --> 00:16:31.860
 and this prayer also

00:16:31.860 --> 00:16:32.420
 is really helpful

00:16:32.419 --> 00:16:33.979
 for setting balance for us

00:16:33.979 --> 00:16:35.059
 it's a really short

00:16:35.059 --> 00:16:36.419
 model prayer

00:16:36.419 --> 00:16:37.539
 but what it takes in

00:16:37.539 --> 00:16:38.059
 is wonderful

00:16:38.059 --> 00:16:38.819
 it takes in praise

00:16:38.819 --> 00:16:39.299
 and worship

00:16:39.299 --> 00:16:41.599
 it takes in kingdom

00:16:41.599 --> 00:16:42.159
 and mission

00:16:42.159 --> 00:16:43.759
 it takes in the needs

00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:44.279
 of ourselves

00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:44.799
 and the needs

00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:45.620
 of others

00:16:45.620 --> 00:16:47.459
 it brings us

00:16:47.459 --> 00:16:48.099
 to forgiveness

00:16:48.099 --> 00:16:48.679
 and our need

00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:49.519
 of god's grace

00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:51.139
 it reminds us

00:16:51.139 --> 00:16:51.779
 of the reality

00:16:51.779 --> 00:16:53.139
 of spiritual warfare

00:16:53.139 --> 00:16:55.719
 and the need

00:16:55.719 --> 00:16:56.699
 to resist temptation

00:16:56.699 --> 00:16:57.439
 and find help

00:16:57.439 --> 00:16:58.079
 in temptation

00:16:58.080 --> 00:17:00.700
 and notice too

00:17:00.700 --> 00:17:02.820
 and just to remind ourselves

00:17:02.820 --> 00:17:04.079
 the our and the us

00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:04.819
 language

00:17:04.819 --> 00:17:05.980
 that when jesus

00:17:05.980 --> 00:17:07.100
 wants us to pray

00:17:07.100 --> 00:17:08.160
 he wants us to pray

00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:09.480
 not just for ourselves

00:17:09.480 --> 00:17:11.460
 and when we're praying

00:17:11.460 --> 00:17:12.120
 for ourselves

00:17:12.120 --> 00:17:13.120
 to also be praying

00:17:13.120 --> 00:17:13.740
 for others

00:17:13.740 --> 00:17:15.860
 when something

00:17:15.860 --> 00:17:16.740
 in god's word

00:17:16.740 --> 00:17:18.279
 hits our hearts

00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:20.019
 that's food for our souls

00:17:20.019 --> 00:17:20.840
 but we can also pray

00:17:20.840 --> 00:17:21.660
 that that same truth

00:17:21.660 --> 00:17:22.400
 would be reality

00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:24.740
 for others as well

00:17:24.740 --> 00:17:27.019
 so prayer sets priority

00:17:27.019 --> 00:17:28.359
 and it sets balance

00:17:28.359 --> 00:17:29.079
 but again

00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:30.220
 just to remind ourselves

00:17:30.220 --> 00:17:30.980
 that when jesus

00:17:30.980 --> 00:17:31.960
 teaches us to pray

00:17:31.960 --> 00:17:32.960
 he reminds us

00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:34.359
 prayer is personal

00:17:34.359 --> 00:17:36.180
 because we pray

00:17:36.180 --> 00:17:37.519
 to our father

00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:40.319
 just to keep us

00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:41.059
 on this key truth

00:17:41.059 --> 00:17:42.579
 that who we pray to

00:17:42.579 --> 00:17:45.740
 makes all the difference

00:17:45.740 --> 00:17:47.319
 while having

00:17:47.319 --> 00:17:48.400
 sort of

00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:50.099
 set some introductions

00:17:50.099 --> 00:17:51.640
 let's look at this

00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:52.460
 prayer

00:17:52.460 --> 00:17:54.539
 it breaks down

00:17:54.539 --> 00:17:55.680
 into two sections

00:17:55.680 --> 00:17:57.440
 verses 9 and 10

00:17:57.440 --> 00:17:58.200
 we can think about

00:17:58.200 --> 00:17:59.380
 jesus teaching us

00:17:59.380 --> 00:18:00.200
 to worship

00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:01.680
 our father

00:18:01.680 --> 00:18:04.519
 our father

00:18:04.519 --> 00:18:05.400
 in heaven

00:18:05.400 --> 00:18:06.519
 hallowed

00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:07.220
 be your name

00:18:07.220 --> 00:18:08.000
 so the first concept

00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:08.960
 is worship

00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:10.779
 but remember

00:18:10.779 --> 00:18:11.720
 those first words

00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:12.700
 are about intimacy

00:18:12.700 --> 00:18:14.500
 and about access

00:18:14.500 --> 00:18:15.480
 and access

00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:16.019
 and intimacy

00:18:16.019 --> 00:18:16.960
 that we share

00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:17.819
 if we are children

00:18:17.819 --> 00:18:18.279
 of god

00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:18.819
 then we pray

00:18:18.819 --> 00:18:19.220
 to god

00:18:19.220 --> 00:18:20.100
 who is our shared

00:18:20.100 --> 00:18:20.840
 father

00:18:20.839 --> 00:18:22.220
 creates a sense

00:18:22.220 --> 00:18:22.799
 of unity

00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:23.459
 and fellowship

00:18:23.459 --> 00:18:25.199
 within a church

00:18:25.199 --> 00:18:27.299
 he sets the tone

00:18:27.299 --> 00:18:28.439
 we pray to our father

00:18:28.439 --> 00:18:29.500
 and that reality

00:18:29.500 --> 00:18:30.379
 we're praying to our father

00:18:30.379 --> 00:18:31.459
 should follow through

00:18:31.459 --> 00:18:31.859
 the whole

00:18:31.859 --> 00:18:33.119
 of the prayer

00:18:33.119 --> 00:18:35.159
 and we pray to our father

00:18:35.159 --> 00:18:35.639
 who is

00:18:35.639 --> 00:18:36.779
 in heaven

00:18:36.779 --> 00:18:39.439
 our father

00:18:39.439 --> 00:18:40.279
 is on the throne

00:18:40.279 --> 00:18:40.959
 of the universe

00:18:40.959 --> 00:18:43.699
 he is great

00:18:43.699 --> 00:18:44.399
 he is above us

00:18:44.399 --> 00:18:45.720
 and he is our father

00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:46.699
 and he is for us

00:18:46.699 --> 00:18:47.159
 and he is

00:18:47.159 --> 00:18:48.299
 personal

00:18:48.299 --> 00:18:49.519
 and we have access

00:18:49.519 --> 00:18:51.539
 so there is cause

00:18:51.539 --> 00:18:52.500
 to praise god

00:18:52.500 --> 00:18:53.460
 from the very beginning

00:18:53.460 --> 00:18:54.379
 and there is also cause

00:18:54.379 --> 00:18:55.079
 for confidence

00:18:55.079 --> 00:18:56.019
 as we pray

00:18:56.019 --> 00:18:58.039
 because he is for us

00:18:58.039 --> 00:18:59.259
 and not against us

00:18:59.259 --> 00:19:02.000
 the word hallowed

00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:03.440
 is not a word

00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:04.419
 that we hear

00:19:04.419 --> 00:19:05.720
 apart from in the lord's prayer

00:19:05.720 --> 00:19:06.480
 most likely

00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:08.639
 we can think of the idea

00:19:08.639 --> 00:19:10.519
 of jesus teaching us

00:19:10.519 --> 00:19:10.980
 to pray

00:19:10.980 --> 00:19:12.460
 that we would see god

00:19:12.460 --> 00:19:13.899
 as greater than

00:19:13.899 --> 00:19:14.519
 anyone

00:19:14.519 --> 00:19:15.779
 and anything else

00:19:15.779 --> 00:19:17.420
 see god

00:19:17.420 --> 00:19:18.579
 as more worthy

00:19:18.579 --> 00:19:19.599
 of praise

00:19:19.599 --> 00:19:20.420
 and honor

00:19:20.420 --> 00:19:21.240
 and obedience

00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:22.319
 and sacrifice

00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:23.139
 than anyone

00:19:23.139 --> 00:19:24.660
 or anything else

00:19:24.660 --> 00:19:27.420
 and that we would glorify god

00:19:27.420 --> 00:19:28.319
 as holy

00:19:28.319 --> 00:19:29.240
 and unique

00:19:29.240 --> 00:19:30.940
 and so far

00:19:30.940 --> 00:19:32.200
 above us

00:19:32.200 --> 00:19:32.899
 perfect

00:19:32.899 --> 00:19:33.960
 in all his

00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:35.000
 ways

00:19:35.000 --> 00:19:37.759
 it's really significant

00:19:37.759 --> 00:19:38.160
 isn't it

00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:38.339
 that

00:19:38.339 --> 00:19:40.200
 where does jesus begin

00:19:40.200 --> 00:19:41.319
 he begins with a focus

00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:42.180
 on the glory

00:19:42.180 --> 00:19:42.819
 of god

00:19:42.819 --> 00:19:45.460
 that the father

00:19:45.460 --> 00:19:46.279
 is on the throne

00:19:46.279 --> 00:19:47.480
 and not us

00:19:47.480 --> 00:19:49.399
 and it's a wonderful truth

00:19:49.399 --> 00:19:49.879
 for being able

00:19:49.879 --> 00:19:51.179
 to settle our hearts

00:19:51.179 --> 00:19:53.039
 for allowing us

00:19:53.039 --> 00:19:53.419
 to be able

00:19:53.419 --> 00:19:54.099
 to rest

00:19:54.099 --> 00:19:54.740
 and trust

00:19:54.740 --> 00:19:56.079
 if we know our god

00:19:56.079 --> 00:19:56.960
 and our god's in heaven

00:19:56.960 --> 00:19:58.019
 and god's on the throne

00:19:58.019 --> 00:20:00.919
 and this pattern

00:20:00.919 --> 00:20:01.460
 for prayer

00:20:01.460 --> 00:20:02.439
 just to remind ourselves

00:20:02.439 --> 00:20:03.019
 that it's not just

00:20:03.019 --> 00:20:03.460
 for prayer

00:20:03.460 --> 00:20:04.879
 it's also the ideal

00:20:04.879 --> 00:20:06.059
 pattern for life

00:20:06.059 --> 00:20:06.720
 jesus is

00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:07.899
 teaching us

00:20:07.899 --> 00:20:08.859
 that at the beginning

00:20:08.859 --> 00:20:09.759
 there's nothing greater

00:20:09.759 --> 00:20:10.859
 than knowing god

00:20:10.859 --> 00:20:11.539
 as father

00:20:11.539 --> 00:20:13.319
 than glorifying god

00:20:13.319 --> 00:20:13.979
 in our lives

00:20:13.979 --> 00:20:15.419
 enjoying him

00:20:15.419 --> 00:20:16.759
 as father

00:20:16.759 --> 00:20:20.240
 do we have that

00:20:20.240 --> 00:20:22.419
 is that our reality

00:20:22.419 --> 00:20:26.199
 that we can worship god

00:20:26.199 --> 00:20:27.459
 as father

00:20:27.459 --> 00:20:29.219
 well moving from there

00:20:29.219 --> 00:20:29.740
 verse 10

00:20:29.740 --> 00:20:31.240
 the second concept

00:20:31.240 --> 00:20:32.619
 the second building block

00:20:32.619 --> 00:20:33.399
 for prayer

00:20:33.399 --> 00:20:35.299
 is about kingdom

00:20:35.299 --> 00:20:37.039
 jesus teaches

00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:38.959
 your kingdom come

00:20:38.960 --> 00:20:40.740
 your will be done

00:20:40.740 --> 00:20:41.579
 on earth

00:20:41.579 --> 00:20:42.480
 as it is

00:20:42.480 --> 00:20:43.240
 in heaven

00:20:43.240 --> 00:20:46.180
 i think important

00:20:46.180 --> 00:20:47.299
 for us to recognize

00:20:47.299 --> 00:20:48.700
 that to pray

00:20:48.700 --> 00:20:49.539
 this prayer

00:20:49.539 --> 00:20:51.940
 is to

00:20:51.940 --> 00:20:52.920
 submit

00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:55.500
 to god's kingship

00:20:55.500 --> 00:20:57.140
 and to god's rule

00:20:57.140 --> 00:20:58.319
 rather than

00:20:58.319 --> 00:20:59.100
 insisting on

00:20:59.100 --> 00:20:59.900
 ours

00:20:59.900 --> 00:21:02.240
 this isn't

00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:02.960
 asking god

00:21:02.960 --> 00:21:03.420
 to build

00:21:03.420 --> 00:21:04.860
 my little empire

00:21:04.860 --> 00:21:06.779
 this is asking

00:21:06.779 --> 00:21:07.279
 our hearts

00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:07.840
 to be turned

00:21:07.839 --> 00:21:08.679
 that we would seek

00:21:08.679 --> 00:21:10.599
 the father's kingdom

00:21:10.599 --> 00:21:13.619
 and that naturally

00:21:13.619 --> 00:21:14.039
 flows

00:21:14.039 --> 00:21:14.459
 doesn't it

00:21:14.459 --> 00:21:15.399
 from loving god

00:21:15.399 --> 00:21:15.839
 as father

00:21:15.839 --> 00:21:17.179
 if we love him

00:21:17.179 --> 00:21:17.720
 as father

00:21:17.720 --> 00:21:18.159
 then we're going

00:21:18.159 --> 00:21:19.359
 to seek his honor

00:21:19.359 --> 00:21:20.000
 we're going to want

00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:21.299
 to obey him

00:21:21.299 --> 00:21:22.259
 we're going to be glad

00:21:22.259 --> 00:21:23.799
 to live under his rule

00:21:23.799 --> 00:21:24.480
 because we understand

00:21:24.480 --> 00:21:25.679
 that he is good

00:21:25.679 --> 00:21:26.879
 and his ways are good

00:21:26.879 --> 00:21:31.299
 and jesus is teaching us

00:21:31.299 --> 00:21:32.699
 don't pray my will

00:21:32.699 --> 00:21:33.099
 be done

00:21:33.099 --> 00:21:33.619
 but pray

00:21:33.619 --> 00:21:34.659
 your will

00:21:34.659 --> 00:21:35.779
 be done

00:21:35.779 --> 00:21:38.660
 maybe that sounds

00:21:38.660 --> 00:21:40.119
 familiar to us

00:21:40.119 --> 00:21:41.059
 we hear jesus

00:21:41.059 --> 00:21:42.160
 pray that

00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:42.799
 in the garden

00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:43.839
 of gethsemane

00:21:43.839 --> 00:21:46.160
 as he agonizes

00:21:46.160 --> 00:21:47.240
 facing the prospect

00:21:47.240 --> 00:21:48.319
 of becoming

00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:49.220
 the sin bearer

00:21:49.220 --> 00:21:49.680
 of the world

00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:50.319
 going under

00:21:50.319 --> 00:21:50.799
 the curse

00:21:50.799 --> 00:21:51.639
 going under

00:21:51.639 --> 00:21:52.240
 the wrath

00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:53.359
 of god

00:21:53.359 --> 00:21:54.399
 taking the sins

00:21:54.399 --> 00:21:55.019
 of his people

00:21:55.019 --> 00:21:55.799
 and the punishment

00:21:55.799 --> 00:21:57.240
 that we deserve

00:21:57.240 --> 00:21:58.139
 and jesus prays

00:21:58.139 --> 00:21:59.440
 if there's any other way

00:21:59.440 --> 00:22:01.599
 but not my will

00:22:01.599 --> 00:22:02.379
 but yours

00:22:02.379 --> 00:22:03.279
 be done

00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:05.480
 and so jesus teaches

00:22:05.480 --> 00:22:06.160
 his followers

00:22:06.160 --> 00:22:07.000
 to understand

00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:07.680
 that the plans

00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:08.059
 of heaven

00:22:08.059 --> 00:22:08.519
 are better

00:22:08.519 --> 00:22:09.220
 than our plans

00:22:09.220 --> 00:22:09.740
 the will

00:22:09.740 --> 00:22:10.299
 of heaven

00:22:10.299 --> 00:22:11.359
 is better

00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:13.399
 than our will

00:22:13.399 --> 00:22:16.299
 again it struck me

00:22:16.299 --> 00:22:16.740
 this week

00:22:16.740 --> 00:22:17.879
 thinking about this prayer

00:22:17.879 --> 00:22:18.519
 you know sometimes

00:22:18.519 --> 00:22:19.359
 if we're familiar

00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:19.740
 with it

00:22:19.740 --> 00:22:20.259
 we just kind of

00:22:20.259 --> 00:22:21.039
 breeze on through it

00:22:21.039 --> 00:22:22.399
 but when he prays

00:22:22.399 --> 00:22:23.339
 your will be done

00:22:23.339 --> 00:22:23.799
 he could have said

00:22:23.799 --> 00:22:24.440
 your will be done

00:22:24.440 --> 00:22:24.859
 on earth

00:22:24.859 --> 00:22:26.660
 that's a valid prayer

00:22:26.660 --> 00:22:27.680
 but your will be done

00:22:27.680 --> 00:22:28.019
 on earth

00:22:28.019 --> 00:22:29.200
 as it is in heaven

00:22:29.200 --> 00:22:31.539
 think about heaven

00:22:31.539 --> 00:22:31.980
 for a moment

00:22:31.980 --> 00:22:33.319
 what's life like

00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:33.700
 in heaven

00:22:33.700 --> 00:22:34.399
 well from the little

00:22:34.399 --> 00:22:35.220
 glimpses we get

00:22:35.220 --> 00:22:36.059
 into the bible

00:22:36.059 --> 00:22:36.920
 we can at least say

00:22:36.920 --> 00:22:38.240
 heaven is a place

00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:39.819
 of perfect joyful worship

00:22:39.819 --> 00:22:41.920
 it's a place

00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:43.680
 of absolute obedience

00:22:43.680 --> 00:22:45.899
 it's a place

00:22:45.899 --> 00:22:47.980
 of perfect love

00:22:47.980 --> 00:22:51.059
 and so as we pray this

00:22:51.059 --> 00:22:51.539
 we're praying

00:22:51.539 --> 00:22:52.779
 that the pattern

00:22:52.779 --> 00:22:53.579
 of jesus

00:22:53.579 --> 00:22:55.559
 and the pattern

00:22:55.559 --> 00:22:56.299
 of heaven

00:22:56.299 --> 00:22:58.379
 would be ours

00:22:58.379 --> 00:22:59.079
 on earth

00:22:59.079 --> 00:23:00.279
 in my life

00:23:00.279 --> 00:23:00.940
 in my family

00:23:00.940 --> 00:23:02.400
 in my church

00:23:02.400 --> 00:23:05.039
 putting the worship

00:23:05.039 --> 00:23:05.759
 of god

00:23:05.759 --> 00:23:06.620
 the obedience

00:23:06.620 --> 00:23:07.360
 to god

00:23:07.360 --> 00:23:08.799
 letting the love

00:23:08.799 --> 00:23:09.480
 of god

00:23:09.480 --> 00:23:10.940
 shape our

00:23:10.940 --> 00:23:11.860
 day to day

00:23:11.860 --> 00:23:14.059
 and maybe some

00:23:14.059 --> 00:23:15.420
 ideas for praying

00:23:15.420 --> 00:23:16.059
 this way

00:23:16.059 --> 00:23:17.759
 that we would pray

00:23:17.759 --> 00:23:18.660
 that we would submit

00:23:18.660 --> 00:23:19.299
 humbly

00:23:19.299 --> 00:23:20.860
 to the father's

00:23:20.860 --> 00:23:22.100
 purposes and plans

00:23:22.100 --> 00:23:24.320
 sometimes his plans

00:23:24.320 --> 00:23:26.080
 feel good to us

00:23:26.080 --> 00:23:26.539
 other times

00:23:26.539 --> 00:23:27.420
 they're really hard

00:23:27.420 --> 00:23:28.980
 that we'd be ready

00:23:28.980 --> 00:23:29.480
 to submit

00:23:29.480 --> 00:23:30.480
 and trust in his father

00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:32.779
 that we'd pray

00:23:32.779 --> 00:23:33.599
 and seek more

00:23:33.599 --> 00:23:34.319
 loyalty

00:23:34.319 --> 00:23:35.779
 and obedience

00:23:35.779 --> 00:23:36.620
 to our father

00:23:36.620 --> 00:23:38.420
 not just in the parts

00:23:38.420 --> 00:23:39.019
 that are convenient

00:23:39.019 --> 00:23:39.579
 for us

00:23:39.579 --> 00:23:40.400
 but the parts

00:23:40.400 --> 00:23:40.960
 where it hurts

00:23:40.960 --> 00:23:41.380
 and it's going to

00:23:41.380 --> 00:23:42.099
 cost us

00:23:42.099 --> 00:23:44.400
 to pray this prayer

00:23:44.400 --> 00:23:44.880
 also

00:23:44.880 --> 00:23:45.900
 is to commit

00:23:45.900 --> 00:23:46.440
 ourselves to

00:23:46.440 --> 00:23:47.200
 seeking the spread

00:23:47.200 --> 00:23:47.920
 of the gospel

00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:50.200
 your kingdom come

00:23:50.200 --> 00:23:51.620
 is why we've got

00:23:51.620 --> 00:23:52.259
 mission sunday

00:23:52.259 --> 00:23:52.900
 next week

00:23:52.900 --> 00:23:55.160
 to remind ourselves

00:23:55.160 --> 00:23:55.980
 and to commit

00:23:55.980 --> 00:23:56.579
 ourselves to

00:23:56.579 --> 00:23:57.940
 work for global

00:23:57.940 --> 00:23:58.840
 and local

00:23:58.840 --> 00:23:59.200
 mission

00:23:59.200 --> 00:23:59.820
 to pray for

00:23:59.820 --> 00:24:00.980
 our mission

00:24:00.980 --> 00:24:02.500
 that more people

00:24:02.500 --> 00:24:03.100
 men women

00:24:03.100 --> 00:24:03.740
 boys and girls

00:24:03.740 --> 00:24:04.279
 would know

00:24:04.279 --> 00:24:05.539
 god as father

00:24:05.539 --> 00:24:06.259
 through trusting

00:24:06.259 --> 00:24:08.080
 jesus his son

00:24:08.080 --> 00:24:12.539
 to pray your will

00:24:12.539 --> 00:24:13.080
 be done

00:24:13.080 --> 00:24:14.600
 is also going to

00:24:14.600 --> 00:24:15.779
 mean work for us

00:24:15.779 --> 00:24:17.759
 committing ourselves

00:24:17.759 --> 00:24:19.019
 to search god's

00:24:19.019 --> 00:24:19.640
 words

00:24:19.640 --> 00:24:21.059
 to know our

00:24:21.059 --> 00:24:21.860
 father's will

00:24:21.860 --> 00:24:23.620
 we need to know

00:24:23.620 --> 00:24:24.100
 our bibles

00:24:24.100 --> 00:24:24.779
 because here is

00:24:24.779 --> 00:24:25.500
 where the revealed

00:24:25.500 --> 00:24:26.200
 will of god

00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:27.440
 is found

00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:28.539
 last week we

00:24:28.539 --> 00:24:28.920
 thought about the

00:24:28.920 --> 00:24:30.039
 priority of the

00:24:30.039 --> 00:24:30.519
 bible in the

00:24:30.519 --> 00:24:31.000
 christian life

00:24:31.000 --> 00:24:32.720
 ties up with our

00:24:32.720 --> 00:24:33.700
 our prayer lives

00:24:33.700 --> 00:24:34.900
 we we read our

00:24:34.900 --> 00:24:35.539
 bibles and

00:24:35.539 --> 00:24:36.579
 perhaps some things

00:24:36.579 --> 00:24:37.160
 we're comforted

00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:37.819
 sometimes we're

00:24:37.819 --> 00:24:38.980
 challenged we we

00:24:38.980 --> 00:24:40.079
 talk to god about

00:24:40.079 --> 00:24:40.579
 that and then we

00:24:40.579 --> 00:24:41.579
 seek to obey

00:24:41.579 --> 00:24:45.720
 the first half of

00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:46.539
 the prayer

00:24:46.539 --> 00:24:47.900
 and jesus reminds us

00:24:47.900 --> 00:24:48.940
 we pray to worship

00:24:48.940 --> 00:24:49.579
 our father

00:24:49.579 --> 00:24:51.099
 and that's good for

00:24:51.099 --> 00:24:51.880
 us it's good to

00:24:51.880 --> 00:24:52.720
 remember i'm not

00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:53.039
 king

00:24:53.039 --> 00:24:54.159
 and it's good to

00:24:54.159 --> 00:24:54.799
 have confidence i

00:24:54.799 --> 00:24:56.079
 pray to this father

00:24:56.079 --> 00:24:57.000
 this father

00:24:57.000 --> 00:24:58.299
 and so that's the

00:24:58.299 --> 00:24:59.259
 first part of the

00:24:59.259 --> 00:25:00.559
 prayer worship your

00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:01.619
 father then he moves

00:25:01.619 --> 00:25:03.399
 in verse 11 to 13

00:25:03.399 --> 00:25:06.339
 to ask your father

00:25:06.339 --> 00:25:07.920
 so there's three

00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:09.000
 things that we are

00:25:09.000 --> 00:25:10.039
 invited to to

00:25:10.039 --> 00:25:10.899
 consider here first

00:25:10.899 --> 00:25:12.680
 provision verse 11

00:25:12.680 --> 00:25:14.460
 give us today our

00:25:14.460 --> 00:25:15.519
 daily bread and

00:25:15.519 --> 00:25:16.539
 remember we pray to

00:25:16.539 --> 00:25:17.460
 our father a father

00:25:17.460 --> 00:25:18.220
 who knows and a

00:25:18.220 --> 00:25:18.799
 father who is

00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:19.539
 generous

00:25:19.539 --> 00:25:22.639
 perhaps for the

00:25:22.639 --> 00:25:23.399
 the jewish people

00:25:23.399 --> 00:25:24.399
 listening as jesus

00:25:24.399 --> 00:25:25.220
 first taught this

00:25:25.220 --> 00:25:25.759
 they'd be thinking

00:25:25.759 --> 00:25:26.619
 back to the old

00:25:26.619 --> 00:25:27.119
 testament thinking

00:25:27.119 --> 00:25:27.799
 back to the

00:25:27.799 --> 00:25:28.379
 exodus thinking

00:25:28.379 --> 00:25:29.639
 back to them being

00:25:29.639 --> 00:25:30.220
 in the wilderness

00:25:30.220 --> 00:25:31.819
 and god providing

00:25:31.819 --> 00:25:32.779
 manna from heaven

00:25:32.779 --> 00:25:35.119
 every day daily the

00:25:35.119 --> 00:25:35.980
 people of god had to

00:25:35.980 --> 00:25:37.379
 trust god to provide

00:25:37.379 --> 00:25:40.460
 for us to pray this

00:25:40.460 --> 00:25:40.940
 prayer

00:25:40.940 --> 00:25:44.319
 because of the times

00:25:44.319 --> 00:25:45.059
 that we live in i

00:25:45.059 --> 00:25:46.119
 think in part is is

00:25:46.119 --> 00:25:47.259
 asking god to to

00:25:47.259 --> 00:25:48.099
 teach us and to

00:25:48.099 --> 00:25:49.180
 show us that we are

00:25:49.180 --> 00:25:50.960
 needy we have real

00:25:50.960 --> 00:25:52.400
 deep needs

00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:53.820
 because i think one

00:25:53.820 --> 00:25:54.680
 of the challenges of

00:25:54.680 --> 00:25:56.299
 this for for us

00:25:56.299 --> 00:25:57.060
 like for lots of

00:25:57.060 --> 00:25:57.759
 people in the world

00:25:57.759 --> 00:25:58.880
 they have to pray for

00:25:58.880 --> 00:25:59.580
 their daily bread

00:25:59.580 --> 00:26:00.259
 because because

00:26:00.259 --> 00:26:00.820
 there's there's

00:26:00.820 --> 00:26:01.660
 starvation and

00:26:01.660 --> 00:26:02.360
 there's drought and

00:26:02.360 --> 00:26:02.779
 there's there's

00:26:02.779 --> 00:26:04.500
 famine but for us

00:26:04.500 --> 00:26:06.000
 with supermarkets

00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:07.560
 and full fridges and

00:26:07.560 --> 00:26:08.640
 cupboards it's it's

00:26:08.640 --> 00:26:09.380
 harder we can feel

00:26:09.380 --> 00:26:10.600
 comfortable we've got

00:26:10.600 --> 00:26:13.120
 many resources and

00:26:13.120 --> 00:26:13.860
 so we need to think

00:26:13.860 --> 00:26:14.660
 deeply when it says

00:26:14.660 --> 00:26:15.400
 give us today our

00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:16.019
 daily bread what

00:26:16.019 --> 00:26:17.460
 are we asking and

00:26:17.460 --> 00:26:18.700
 we're asking for

00:26:18.700 --> 00:26:19.180
 those things that

00:26:19.180 --> 00:26:19.840
 we need in order

00:26:19.840 --> 00:26:21.019
 to do the will of

00:26:21.019 --> 00:26:21.539
 god and that's

00:26:21.539 --> 00:26:21.920
 going to involve

00:26:21.920 --> 00:26:22.559
 more than just

00:26:22.559 --> 00:26:23.200
 food it includes

00:26:23.200 --> 00:26:23.640
 food but it

00:26:23.640 --> 00:26:24.480
 involves more

00:26:24.480 --> 00:26:26.860
 but it's good for

00:26:26.860 --> 00:26:27.559
 us to stop and

00:26:27.559 --> 00:26:28.259
 remind ourselves

00:26:28.259 --> 00:26:29.380
 that my physical

00:26:29.380 --> 00:26:30.539
 life my health

00:26:30.539 --> 00:26:32.299
 my being alive

00:26:32.299 --> 00:26:33.680
 is a gift of god

00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:34.420
 he needs to

00:26:34.420 --> 00:26:35.620
 sustain me second

00:26:35.620 --> 00:26:36.600
 by second

00:26:36.600 --> 00:26:39.340
 we're that dependent

00:26:39.340 --> 00:26:40.200
 on our god

00:26:40.200 --> 00:26:43.640
 for our moral

00:26:43.640 --> 00:26:44.380
 choices

00:26:44.380 --> 00:26:46.480
 for living to the

00:26:46.480 --> 00:26:47.000
 glory of god

00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:48.860
 we need god to

00:26:48.860 --> 00:26:49.780
 help us moment

00:26:49.780 --> 00:26:50.460
 by moment

00:26:50.460 --> 00:26:51.740
 otherwise we will

00:26:51.740 --> 00:26:52.760
 not do the

00:26:52.760 --> 00:26:53.540
 father's will

00:26:53.540 --> 00:26:56.020
 it is good for us

00:26:56.020 --> 00:26:56.780
 to pray this and

00:26:56.780 --> 00:26:57.740
 and to remind

00:26:57.740 --> 00:26:58.120
 ourselves

00:26:58.120 --> 00:26:58.880
 do you know

00:26:58.880 --> 00:26:59.360
 if i'm going to

00:26:59.360 --> 00:27:00.120
 please god

00:27:00.120 --> 00:27:01.600
 then i need god's

00:27:01.600 --> 00:27:02.480
 help in my

00:27:02.480 --> 00:27:03.520
 family in those

00:27:03.520 --> 00:27:04.720
 relationships to

00:27:04.720 --> 00:27:05.680
 have patience and

00:27:05.680 --> 00:27:06.200
 wisdom

00:27:06.200 --> 00:27:09.420
 in my workplace

00:27:09.420 --> 00:27:10.940
 i need god to

00:27:10.940 --> 00:27:11.799
 know how to

00:27:11.799 --> 00:27:12.940
 work hard and

00:27:12.940 --> 00:27:14.000
 work well and

00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:14.640
 to please him

00:27:14.640 --> 00:27:15.240
 because sometimes

00:27:15.240 --> 00:27:16.840
 there's complexities

00:27:16.840 --> 00:27:20.580
 jesus reminds us

00:27:20.580 --> 00:27:21.759
 to pray to god

00:27:21.759 --> 00:27:22.980
 for the things we

00:27:22.980 --> 00:27:23.420
 need

00:27:23.420 --> 00:27:26.880
 perhaps to help

00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:27.900
 us pray this

00:27:27.900 --> 00:27:28.799
 one thing that

00:27:28.799 --> 00:27:29.460
 certainly i find

00:27:29.460 --> 00:27:30.019
 helpful you might

00:27:30.019 --> 00:27:30.860
 find helpful is

00:27:30.860 --> 00:27:31.740
 is at the beginning

00:27:31.740 --> 00:27:32.440
 of each day

00:27:32.440 --> 00:27:33.600
 just think about

00:27:33.600 --> 00:27:34.319
 what's going on

00:27:34.319 --> 00:27:34.960
 in that day

00:27:34.960 --> 00:27:36.579
 any meetings

00:27:36.579 --> 00:27:37.140
 you have

00:27:37.140 --> 00:27:38.240
 any conversations

00:27:38.240 --> 00:27:38.860
 you expect

00:27:38.860 --> 00:27:39.740
 any activities

00:27:39.740 --> 00:27:41.039
 commit them to

00:27:41.039 --> 00:27:41.440
 god

00:27:41.440 --> 00:27:42.920
 before you're

00:27:42.920 --> 00:27:43.600
 about to go

00:27:43.600 --> 00:27:45.400
 to your

00:27:45.400 --> 00:27:46.160
 classroom

00:27:46.160 --> 00:27:47.880
 pray for

00:27:47.880 --> 00:27:49.000
 that time

00:27:49.000 --> 00:27:52.240
 to live

00:27:52.240 --> 00:27:53.019
 understanding that

00:27:53.019 --> 00:27:53.640
 god is present

00:27:53.640 --> 00:27:54.180
 with us and

00:27:54.180 --> 00:27:55.200
 that he asks us

00:27:55.200 --> 00:27:56.340
 to ask him

00:27:56.340 --> 00:27:57.779
 for help

00:27:57.779 --> 00:28:00.440
 because this is

00:28:00.440 --> 00:28:01.019
 much more than

00:28:01.019 --> 00:28:01.400
 food

00:28:01.400 --> 00:28:03.640
 our needs are

00:28:03.640 --> 00:28:04.279
 so many we

00:28:04.279 --> 00:28:04.920
 need the wisdom

00:28:04.920 --> 00:28:05.539
 of god

00:28:05.539 --> 00:28:06.900
 to navigate

00:28:06.900 --> 00:28:07.640
 life well

00:28:07.640 --> 00:28:09.600
 and we need

00:28:09.600 --> 00:28:10.180
 patience

00:28:10.180 --> 00:28:10.860
 we need

00:28:10.860 --> 00:28:11.460
 compassion

00:28:11.460 --> 00:28:12.880
 we need

00:28:12.880 --> 00:28:13.820
 energy

00:28:13.820 --> 00:28:15.019
 in january

00:28:15.019 --> 00:28:15.660
 especially we

00:28:15.660 --> 00:28:16.800
 need energy

00:28:16.800 --> 00:28:17.680
 and motivation

00:28:17.680 --> 00:28:19.100
 to to live

00:28:19.100 --> 00:28:20.019
 to please god

00:28:20.019 --> 00:28:20.560
 to serve

00:28:20.560 --> 00:28:21.880
 others well

00:28:21.880 --> 00:28:25.700
 so we pray

00:28:25.700 --> 00:28:26.279
 for provision

00:28:26.279 --> 00:28:26.860
 give us today

00:28:26.860 --> 00:28:28.000
 our daily bread

00:28:28.000 --> 00:28:30.060
 and then in

00:28:30.060 --> 00:28:30.700
 verse 12

00:28:30.700 --> 00:28:32.500
 jesus reminds us

00:28:32.500 --> 00:28:33.339
 how important

00:28:33.339 --> 00:28:35.019
 forgiveness is

00:28:35.019 --> 00:28:36.359
 to the christian

00:28:36.359 --> 00:28:36.859
 life and to

00:28:36.859 --> 00:28:37.359
 our prayer

00:28:37.359 --> 00:28:37.720
 life

00:28:37.720 --> 00:28:38.359
 forgive us

00:28:38.359 --> 00:28:39.039
 our debts

00:28:39.039 --> 00:28:40.759
 as we also

00:28:40.759 --> 00:28:41.460
 have forgiven

00:28:41.460 --> 00:28:42.880
 our debtors

00:28:42.880 --> 00:28:44.660
 remember when we

00:28:44.660 --> 00:28:45.480
 pray this prayer

00:28:45.480 --> 00:28:46.160
 we are praying

00:28:46.160 --> 00:28:47.480
 to a father

00:28:47.480 --> 00:28:49.920
 who has poured

00:28:49.920 --> 00:28:50.920
 out his wrath

00:28:50.920 --> 00:28:51.839
 on his son

00:28:51.839 --> 00:28:52.880
 jesus

00:28:52.880 --> 00:28:55.980
 that jesus

00:28:55.980 --> 00:28:56.820
 was condemned

00:28:56.820 --> 00:28:57.400
 so that we

00:28:57.400 --> 00:28:58.120
 might never

00:28:58.120 --> 00:28:58.440
 know

00:28:58.440 --> 00:28:59.560
 condemnation

00:28:59.560 --> 00:29:00.980
 and so as

00:29:00.980 --> 00:29:01.540
 we we

00:29:01.540 --> 00:29:02.000
 pray we

00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:02.840
 remember that

00:29:02.840 --> 00:29:03.600
 by grace

00:29:03.600 --> 00:29:04.000
 we are

00:29:04.000 --> 00:29:05.000
 welcomed

00:29:05.000 --> 00:29:05.600
 by our

00:29:05.600 --> 00:29:06.040
 father

00:29:06.040 --> 00:29:08.260
 but this

00:29:08.260 --> 00:29:08.700
 prayer so

00:29:08.700 --> 00:29:09.140
 helpfully

00:29:09.140 --> 00:29:09.580
 keeps in

00:29:09.580 --> 00:29:09.920
 view for

00:29:09.920 --> 00:29:10.240
 us the

00:29:10.240 --> 00:29:10.780
 grace

00:29:10.780 --> 00:29:11.200
 of

00:29:11.200 --> 00:29:11.740
 forgiveness

00:29:11.740 --> 00:29:12.000
 forgiveness

00:29:12.000 --> 00:29:16.400
 that our

00:29:16.400 --> 00:29:16.700
 sins

00:29:16.700 --> 00:29:17.140
 they are

00:29:17.140 --> 00:29:17.559
 many

00:29:17.559 --> 00:29:19.059
 but his

00:29:19.059 --> 00:29:19.660
 mercy is

00:29:19.660 --> 00:29:20.099
 more

00:29:20.099 --> 00:29:21.380
 we see

00:29:21.380 --> 00:29:21.700
 that the

00:29:21.700 --> 00:29:22.400
 cross

00:29:22.400 --> 00:29:24.960
 is good

00:29:24.960 --> 00:29:25.359
 for us

00:29:25.359 --> 00:29:26.240
 to reflect

00:29:26.240 --> 00:29:28.420
 for day

00:29:28.420 --> 00:29:28.640
 to day

00:29:28.640 --> 00:29:28.940
 life

00:29:28.940 --> 00:29:29.339
 my

00:29:29.339 --> 00:29:30.299
 massive

00:29:30.299 --> 00:29:31.059
 debt

00:29:31.059 --> 00:29:32.099
 to god

00:29:32.099 --> 00:29:33.160
 has been

00:29:33.160 --> 00:29:33.640
 cancelled

00:29:33.640 --> 00:29:34.339
 by god's

00:29:34.339 --> 00:29:34.859
 grace

00:29:34.859 --> 00:29:36.420
 didn't

00:29:36.420 --> 00:29:36.880
 deserve

00:29:36.880 --> 00:29:37.140
 that

00:29:37.140 --> 00:29:37.579
 forgiveness

00:29:37.579 --> 00:29:38.880
 received

00:29:38.880 --> 00:29:39.259
 it by

00:29:39.259 --> 00:29:39.960
 grace

00:29:39.960 --> 00:29:41.579
 so that

00:29:41.579 --> 00:29:42.200
 our hearts

00:29:42.200 --> 00:29:42.559
 would be

00:29:42.559 --> 00:29:43.259
 soft

00:29:43.259 --> 00:29:44.620
 that we

00:29:44.620 --> 00:29:45.019
 would pay

00:29:45.019 --> 00:29:45.640
 that forgiveness

00:29:45.640 --> 00:29:46.420
 forward to

00:29:46.420 --> 00:29:46.900
 others

00:29:46.900 --> 00:29:48.440
 compared to

00:29:48.440 --> 00:29:49.059
 the offenses

00:29:49.059 --> 00:29:49.720
 we commit

00:29:49.720 --> 00:29:50.319
 against the

00:29:50.319 --> 00:29:51.039
 holy god

00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:52.579
 the offenses

00:29:52.579 --> 00:29:53.680
 of others

00:29:53.680 --> 00:29:54.480
 are small

00:29:54.480 --> 00:29:57.500
 if we find

00:29:57.500 --> 00:29:57.940
 ourselves

00:29:57.940 --> 00:29:58.779
 struggling to

00:29:58.779 --> 00:29:59.340
 forgive and

00:29:59.340 --> 00:29:59.980
 sometimes in

00:29:59.980 --> 00:30:00.519
 relationships

00:30:00.519 --> 00:30:01.120
 there's

00:30:01.120 --> 00:30:01.920
 there's

00:30:01.920 --> 00:30:02.340
 breakdown

00:30:02.340 --> 00:30:03.620
 and there's

00:30:03.620 --> 00:30:03.920
 a real

00:30:03.920 --> 00:30:04.460
 struggle and

00:30:04.460 --> 00:30:04.940
 we can find

00:30:04.940 --> 00:30:05.319
 ourselves

00:30:05.319 --> 00:30:06.240
 fighting and

00:30:06.240 --> 00:30:06.720
 battling or

00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:07.940
 perhaps giving

00:30:07.940 --> 00:30:08.460
 someone the

00:30:08.460 --> 00:30:09.120
 cold shoulder

00:30:09.120 --> 00:30:09.559
 that's the

00:30:09.559 --> 00:30:10.019
 time when we

00:30:10.019 --> 00:30:10.359
 need to

00:30:10.359 --> 00:30:10.940
 preach the

00:30:10.940 --> 00:30:11.779
 gospel to

00:30:11.779 --> 00:30:12.259
 ourselves

00:30:12.259 --> 00:30:15.059
 father you

00:30:15.059 --> 00:30:15.839
 have forgiven

00:30:15.839 --> 00:30:16.279
 me

00:30:16.279 --> 00:30:19.179
 an unworthy

00:30:19.179 --> 00:30:19.579
 sinner

00:30:19.579 --> 00:30:21.539
 father you

00:30:21.539 --> 00:30:22.539
 move towards

00:30:22.539 --> 00:30:23.519
 me in love

00:30:23.519 --> 00:30:23.839
 in the

00:30:23.839 --> 00:30:24.419
 sending of

00:30:24.419 --> 00:30:24.960
 jesus

00:30:24.960 --> 00:30:27.139
 help me move

00:30:27.139 --> 00:30:27.659
 towards the

00:30:27.659 --> 00:30:28.319
 other person

00:30:28.319 --> 00:30:29.779
 help me to

00:30:29.779 --> 00:30:30.539
 show grace

00:30:30.539 --> 00:30:31.279
 and forgiveness

00:30:31.279 --> 00:30:32.440
 to that other

00:30:32.440 --> 00:30:32.940
 person

00:30:32.940 --> 00:30:37.000
 jesus in this

00:30:37.000 --> 00:30:37.740
 prayer also is

00:30:37.740 --> 00:30:38.839
 reminding the

00:30:38.839 --> 00:30:39.519
 church of

00:30:39.519 --> 00:30:40.859
 the reality of

00:30:40.859 --> 00:30:41.799
 ongoing sin

00:30:41.799 --> 00:30:44.099
 this is

00:30:44.099 --> 00:30:44.599
 something to

00:30:44.599 --> 00:30:45.559
 pray regularly

00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:46.399
 daily forgive

00:30:46.399 --> 00:30:47.539
 us our

00:30:47.539 --> 00:30:48.299
 debts

00:30:48.299 --> 00:30:49.639
 people used to

00:30:49.639 --> 00:30:50.019
 speak about

00:30:50.019 --> 00:30:50.699
 keeping short

00:30:50.699 --> 00:30:51.299
 accounts with

00:30:51.299 --> 00:30:51.759
 god when we

00:30:51.759 --> 00:30:52.419
 are conscious

00:30:52.419 --> 00:30:53.500
 aware of

00:30:53.500 --> 00:30:54.139
 sinning against

00:30:54.139 --> 00:30:54.639
 god what

00:30:54.639 --> 00:30:55.319
 should we do

00:30:55.319 --> 00:30:57.299
 not not run

00:30:57.299 --> 00:30:57.980
 away from

00:30:57.980 --> 00:30:58.639
 god not try

00:30:58.639 --> 00:30:59.439
 and minimize

00:30:59.439 --> 00:31:00.379
 it or justify

00:31:00.379 --> 00:31:01.199
 it or try and

00:31:01.199 --> 00:31:01.839
 blame someone

00:31:01.839 --> 00:31:02.879
 else but

00:31:02.879 --> 00:31:03.579
 rather knowing

00:31:03.579 --> 00:31:04.500
 in the gospel

00:31:04.500 --> 00:31:05.220
 we've been freely

00:31:05.220 --> 00:31:05.759
 forgiven we

00:31:05.759 --> 00:31:07.439
 confess it we

00:31:07.440 --> 00:31:07.820
 bring our

00:31:07.820 --> 00:31:08.400
 sins into

00:31:08.400 --> 00:31:08.960
 the light so

00:31:08.960 --> 00:31:09.519
 we are forgiven

00:31:09.519 --> 00:31:10.180
 so those

00:31:10.180 --> 00:31:12.059
 barriers that

00:31:12.059 --> 00:31:12.720
 can stop us

00:31:12.720 --> 00:31:13.940
 knowing god's

00:31:13.940 --> 00:31:14.720
 smile and

00:31:14.720 --> 00:31:16.279
 experiencing god's

00:31:16.279 --> 00:31:17.000
 presence will be

00:31:17.000 --> 00:31:17.680
 removed

00:31:17.680 --> 00:31:22.900
 and then the

00:31:22.900 --> 00:31:24.180
 last concept

00:31:24.180 --> 00:31:25.640
 is in verse

00:31:25.640 --> 00:31:26.920
 13 rather

00:31:26.920 --> 00:31:28.240
 lead us not into

00:31:28.240 --> 00:31:29.100
 temptation but

00:31:29.100 --> 00:31:30.039
 deliver us from

00:31:30.039 --> 00:31:31.440
 the evil one

00:31:31.440 --> 00:31:31.860
 here's another

00:31:31.860 --> 00:31:33.080
 building block for

00:31:33.080 --> 00:31:33.779
 our prayer lives

00:31:33.779 --> 00:31:34.940
 to pray for

00:31:34.940 --> 00:31:36.559
 god's protection

00:31:36.559 --> 00:31:37.759
 and again who

00:31:37.759 --> 00:31:38.240
 are we praying

00:31:38.240 --> 00:31:38.839
 to we're praying

00:31:38.839 --> 00:31:39.680
 to our father

00:31:39.680 --> 00:31:40.859
 so we're asking

00:31:40.859 --> 00:31:42.539
 our father to

00:31:42.539 --> 00:31:43.480
 help us and to

00:31:43.480 --> 00:31:45.059
 give us strength

00:31:45.059 --> 00:31:46.599
 just as children

00:31:46.599 --> 00:31:48.000
 in weakness or

00:31:48.000 --> 00:31:49.200
 struggling doing

00:31:49.200 --> 00:31:49.740
 something that's

00:31:49.740 --> 00:31:50.660
 hard if their

00:31:50.660 --> 00:31:51.740
 parents are around

00:31:51.740 --> 00:31:53.059
 will ask for

00:31:53.059 --> 00:31:53.839
 help

00:31:53.839 --> 00:31:56.019
 what's the reality

00:31:56.019 --> 00:31:56.819
 that this prayer

00:31:56.819 --> 00:31:57.579
 this part of the

00:31:57.579 --> 00:31:58.240
 prayer is pointing

00:31:58.240 --> 00:31:59.879
 to is pointing

00:31:59.879 --> 00:32:00.539
 to the fact that

00:32:00.539 --> 00:32:01.859
 that christians are

00:32:01.859 --> 00:32:04.439
 weak that we

00:32:04.439 --> 00:32:05.979
 give in to sin

00:32:05.979 --> 00:32:06.659
 there is still

00:32:06.659 --> 00:32:07.659
 that battle of

00:32:07.659 --> 00:32:08.559
 sin that rages

00:32:08.559 --> 00:32:09.119
 in our hearts

00:32:09.119 --> 00:32:09.639
 and all too

00:32:09.639 --> 00:32:10.659
 often we give

00:32:10.659 --> 00:32:11.299
 in to those

00:32:11.299 --> 00:32:12.199
 sinful desires

00:32:12.199 --> 00:32:13.819
 it's also

00:32:13.819 --> 00:32:14.539
 reminding us of

00:32:14.539 --> 00:32:15.379
 the reality that

00:32:15.379 --> 00:32:16.579
 that christians are

00:32:16.579 --> 00:32:17.859
 vulnerable to

00:32:17.859 --> 00:32:18.659
 the attacks of

00:32:18.659 --> 00:32:19.819
 our enemy the

00:32:19.819 --> 00:32:21.179
 devil he's

00:32:21.179 --> 00:32:21.899
 described as our

00:32:21.899 --> 00:32:22.819
 adversary and

00:32:22.819 --> 00:32:24.259
 the father of

00:32:24.259 --> 00:32:24.919
 lies who wants

00:32:24.919 --> 00:32:26.059
 to persuade us

00:32:26.059 --> 00:32:27.099
 that life apart

00:32:27.099 --> 00:32:27.719
 from god is

00:32:27.719 --> 00:32:28.759
 better that not

00:32:28.759 --> 00:32:29.619
 listening to god's

00:32:29.619 --> 00:32:30.879
 word is better

00:32:30.880 --> 00:32:32.080
 wants to steal

00:32:32.080 --> 00:32:32.800
 our joy we'd

00:32:32.800 --> 00:32:33.900
 love to to rip

00:32:33.900 --> 00:32:34.740
 us out of god's

00:32:34.740 --> 00:32:35.420
 hand but praise

00:32:35.420 --> 00:32:36.980
 god by god's

00:32:36.980 --> 00:32:37.980
 grace he cannot

00:32:37.980 --> 00:32:41.860
 but to pray this

00:32:41.860 --> 00:32:42.500
 prayer is to

00:32:42.500 --> 00:32:43.740
 remind ourselves

00:32:43.740 --> 00:32:45.420
 about how serious

00:32:45.420 --> 00:32:46.960
 sin is so that

00:32:46.960 --> 00:32:47.700
 we wouldn't get

00:32:47.700 --> 00:32:48.880
 complacent

00:32:48.880 --> 00:32:50.400
 especially when it

00:32:50.400 --> 00:32:51.000
 comes to

00:32:51.000 --> 00:32:52.300
 temptation that we

00:32:52.300 --> 00:32:52.660
 wouldn't think

00:32:52.660 --> 00:32:53.820
 well i dealt

00:32:53.820 --> 00:32:54.600
 with this temptation

00:32:54.600 --> 00:32:55.660
 really well the

00:32:55.660 --> 00:32:56.480
 last time so i've

00:32:56.480 --> 00:32:57.660
 got this sorted

00:32:57.660 --> 00:32:58.340
 so i don't need to

00:32:58.340 --> 00:32:59.420
 lean on god's

00:32:59.420 --> 00:33:00.060
 word i don't need

00:33:00.059 --> 00:33:02.039
 to trust in him

00:33:02.039 --> 00:33:02.679
 to help me i don't

00:33:02.679 --> 00:33:03.839
 need to pray about

00:33:03.839 --> 00:33:04.299
 this

00:33:04.299 --> 00:33:07.359
 jesus wants us

00:33:07.359 --> 00:33:09.119
 to distrust

00:33:09.119 --> 00:33:11.319
 ourselves but to

00:33:11.319 --> 00:33:13.139
 trust our father in

00:33:13.139 --> 00:33:15.440
 heaven to never

00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:16.399
 move away from that

00:33:16.399 --> 00:33:17.200
 posture of being

00:33:17.200 --> 00:33:18.119
 dependent

00:33:18.119 --> 00:33:21.879
 of finding refuge and

00:33:21.879 --> 00:33:23.899
 shelter in and

00:33:23.899 --> 00:33:25.519
 under god

00:33:25.519 --> 00:33:27.720
 and this is

00:33:27.720 --> 00:33:28.379
 something that really

00:33:28.379 --> 00:33:29.539
 matters because

00:33:29.539 --> 00:33:32.440
 perhaps you have

00:33:32.440 --> 00:33:34.460
 seen what happens

00:33:34.460 --> 00:33:35.160
 when people have

00:33:35.160 --> 00:33:35.639
 that sort of

00:33:35.639 --> 00:33:36.700
 attitude of pride

00:33:36.700 --> 00:33:37.460
 towards sin and

00:33:37.460 --> 00:33:37.980
 temptation and

00:33:37.980 --> 00:33:38.960
 think you know it

00:33:38.960 --> 00:33:39.579
 will never happen

00:33:39.579 --> 00:33:40.639
 to me we we have

00:33:40.639 --> 00:33:42.819
 seen ministries and

00:33:42.819 --> 00:33:44.039
 churches and families

00:33:44.039 --> 00:33:46.160
 and lives be wrecked

00:33:46.160 --> 00:33:47.160
 by sin by the

00:33:47.160 --> 00:33:50.400
 devastation of sin

00:33:50.400 --> 00:33:54.980
 and so in the

00:33:54.980 --> 00:33:56.440
 heat of the

00:33:56.440 --> 00:33:58.100
 battle against

00:33:58.100 --> 00:33:59.220
 sinful desires

00:33:59.220 --> 00:34:00.580
 when the devil would

00:34:00.580 --> 00:34:01.620
 come and tempt us to

00:34:01.620 --> 00:34:02.360
 unbelief or to

00:34:02.360 --> 00:34:03.140
 disobedience we need

00:34:03.140 --> 00:34:04.120
 to remember that we

00:34:04.120 --> 00:34:05.300
 are children we need

00:34:05.300 --> 00:34:06.200
 to cry out to our

00:34:06.200 --> 00:34:07.040
 father and recognize

00:34:07.040 --> 00:34:07.800
 he's a powerful

00:34:07.800 --> 00:34:09.000
 father he's a

00:34:09.000 --> 00:34:10.200
 gracious father

00:34:10.200 --> 00:34:11.380
 he's the king

00:34:11.380 --> 00:34:13.400
 he is strong to

00:34:13.400 --> 00:34:13.740
 save

00:34:13.740 --> 00:34:15.940
 he will not allow

00:34:15.940 --> 00:34:16.960
 us to be tempted

00:34:16.960 --> 00:34:18.539
 beyond our ability

00:34:18.539 --> 00:34:21.480
 to resist in his

00:34:21.480 --> 00:34:22.259
 mercy he will

00:34:22.259 --> 00:34:23.579
 always provide a

00:34:23.579 --> 00:34:24.960
 way of escape

00:34:24.960 --> 00:34:26.039
 for us so we

00:34:26.039 --> 00:34:27.219
 pray to him and

00:34:27.219 --> 00:34:28.460
 we trust him

00:34:28.460 --> 00:34:32.960
 so jesus says to

00:34:32.960 --> 00:34:33.920
 his followers to

00:34:33.920 --> 00:34:35.820
 the church pray to

00:34:35.820 --> 00:34:36.800
 your father

00:34:36.800 --> 00:34:40.440
 returning to where

00:34:40.440 --> 00:34:41.800
 we started there

00:34:41.800 --> 00:34:42.679
 is no greater

00:34:42.679 --> 00:34:44.659
 privilege on this

00:34:44.659 --> 00:34:46.719
 earth than knowing

00:34:46.719 --> 00:34:48.899
 god as father

00:34:48.899 --> 00:34:49.799
 in heaven

00:34:49.799 --> 00:34:53.119
 and this reminds

00:34:53.119 --> 00:34:53.799
 us that we need

00:34:53.799 --> 00:34:54.980
 to know god

00:34:54.980 --> 00:34:56.539
 personally

00:34:56.539 --> 00:34:58.519
 not just to know

00:34:58.519 --> 00:34:59.439
 about him but to

00:34:59.439 --> 00:35:00.219
 know him

00:35:00.219 --> 00:35:01.859
 to have this

00:35:01.859 --> 00:35:02.879
 direct

00:35:02.879 --> 00:35:03.699
 living

00:35:03.699 --> 00:35:05.019
 personal relationship

00:35:05.019 --> 00:35:05.899
 with our creator

00:35:05.899 --> 00:35:06.559
 our king

00:35:06.559 --> 00:35:07.919
 our savior

00:35:07.919 --> 00:35:11.079
 now what jesus

00:35:11.079 --> 00:35:12.379
 doesn't teach here

00:35:12.379 --> 00:35:13.179
 is this

00:35:13.179 --> 00:35:14.459
 he doesn't teach

00:35:14.459 --> 00:35:14.659
 us

00:35:14.659 --> 00:35:15.859
 how do we

00:35:15.859 --> 00:35:16.699
 get to enjoy

00:35:16.699 --> 00:35:17.579
 this relationship

00:35:17.579 --> 00:35:20.259
 he doesn't

00:35:20.259 --> 00:35:20.839
 teach us here

00:35:20.839 --> 00:35:21.819
 how can people

00:35:21.819 --> 00:35:22.480
 like us be

00:35:22.480 --> 00:35:23.319
 children of god

00:35:23.319 --> 00:35:23.739
 and perhaps

00:35:23.739 --> 00:35:24.139
 that's our

00:35:24.139 --> 00:35:24.699
 question it's

00:35:24.699 --> 00:35:25.199
 amazing to

00:35:25.199 --> 00:35:25.599
 think how can

00:35:25.599 --> 00:35:26.239
 people like us

00:35:26.239 --> 00:35:26.719
 sinful people

00:35:26.719 --> 00:35:27.219
 be children

00:35:27.219 --> 00:35:27.699
 of god

00:35:27.699 --> 00:35:28.619
 and well again

00:35:28.619 --> 00:35:29.139
 the answer

00:35:29.139 --> 00:35:30.799
 lies in the

00:35:30.799 --> 00:35:31.199
 work of

00:35:31.199 --> 00:35:31.599
 jesus

00:35:31.599 --> 00:35:33.559
 jesus the

00:35:33.559 --> 00:35:34.599
 eternal son

00:35:34.599 --> 00:35:35.239
 the father

00:35:35.239 --> 00:35:35.779
 loves

00:35:35.779 --> 00:35:37.000
 who came

00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:37.879
 into this

00:35:37.879 --> 00:35:38.440
 world to

00:35:38.440 --> 00:35:38.899
 live

00:35:38.899 --> 00:35:39.960
 praying your

00:35:39.960 --> 00:35:40.719
 kingdom come

00:35:40.719 --> 00:35:41.359
 your will be

00:35:41.359 --> 00:35:41.639
 done

00:35:41.639 --> 00:35:43.179
 who came

00:35:43.179 --> 00:35:44.119
 to die

00:35:44.119 --> 00:35:45.639
 giving his

00:35:45.639 --> 00:35:46.119
 life to

00:35:46.119 --> 00:35:47.199
 atone for

00:35:47.199 --> 00:35:47.519
 sin

00:35:47.519 --> 00:35:49.759
 jesus the

00:35:49.759 --> 00:35:50.119
 son who

00:35:50.119 --> 00:35:50.579
 is cut

00:35:50.579 --> 00:35:51.099
 off so

00:35:51.099 --> 00:35:51.480
 that we

00:35:51.480 --> 00:35:52.619
 could come

00:35:52.619 --> 00:35:53.480
 home

00:35:53.480 --> 00:35:54.719
 jesus who

00:35:54.719 --> 00:35:55.159
 in love

00:35:55.159 --> 00:35:56.199
 shares with

00:35:56.199 --> 00:35:56.819
 his people

00:35:56.819 --> 00:35:57.460
 the joy

00:35:57.460 --> 00:35:57.980
 of knowing

00:35:57.980 --> 00:35:58.480
 god

00:35:58.480 --> 00:35:59.339
 as father

00:35:59.339 --> 00:36:00.980
 if we

00:36:00.980 --> 00:36:01.779
 trust him

00:36:01.779 --> 00:36:02.619
 put our

00:36:02.619 --> 00:36:03.139
 faith in

00:36:03.139 --> 00:36:04.039
 him

00:36:04.039 --> 00:36:06.400
 so as we

00:36:06.400 --> 00:36:06.960
 close do

00:36:06.960 --> 00:36:07.500
 we have

00:36:07.500 --> 00:36:08.400
 that joy

00:36:08.400 --> 00:36:08.900
 today

00:36:08.900 --> 00:36:11.460
 if that's

00:36:11.460 --> 00:36:11.980
 not our

00:36:11.980 --> 00:36:12.500
 joy then

00:36:12.500 --> 00:36:13.320
 pray to

00:36:13.320 --> 00:36:14.259
 god for

00:36:14.259 --> 00:36:14.480
 it

00:36:14.480 --> 00:36:16.960
 and if we

00:36:16.960 --> 00:36:17.659
 do have

00:36:17.659 --> 00:36:18.219
 that joy

00:36:18.219 --> 00:36:19.059
 pray to

00:36:19.059 --> 00:36:19.900
 god from

00:36:19.900 --> 00:36:20.679
 that joy

00:36:20.679 --> 00:36:21.719
 so that we

00:36:21.719 --> 00:36:22.480
 would enjoy

00:36:22.480 --> 00:36:23.500
 relationship

00:36:23.500 --> 00:36:25.199
 with our

00:36:25.199 --> 00:36:26.219
 great father

00:36:26.219 --> 00:36:27.079
 in heaven

00:36:27.079 --> 00:36:28.779
 let's

00:36:28.779 --> 00:36:29.460
 turn

00:36:29.460 --> 00:36:30.719
 again to

00:36:30.719 --> 00:36:31.219
 pray

00:36:31.219 --> 00:36:32.659
 and after

00:36:32.659 --> 00:36:33.000
 i've

00:36:33.000 --> 00:36:33.900
 prayed we

00:36:33.900 --> 00:36:34.440
 can pray

00:36:34.440 --> 00:36:35.160
 together

00:36:35.160 --> 00:36:36.500
 the lord's

00:36:36.500 --> 00:36:36.880
 prayer

00:36:36.880 --> 00:36:40.200
 lord god

00:36:40.200 --> 00:36:40.860
 we thank

00:36:40.860 --> 00:36:41.639
 you for

00:36:41.639 --> 00:36:42.300
 the teaching

00:36:42.300 --> 00:36:43.039
 of jesus
