Luke 11:1-4
Mar 2, 2025 • Dr Nick Pridemore
Prayer is communication at any level aimed at God.
1 John 4:19 we love because He first loved us.
Similarly, we communicate because he first communicated with us.
Prayer is instinctual to what it means to be human.
What is the purpose of The Lord’s Prayer?
1. A prayer to be prayed- when I’m exhausted and empty He has given us the words to pray.
2. Template/Pattern- topics and categories to pray.
3. Credal confession- it forms beliefs about God in us. It trains my heart.
4.Identity marker- this is the prayer of my teacher and identifies me as his follower. I am joining in with thousands and grouch time and location with these words.
