LISTEN ON MIXLR @ https://gbcsl.mixlr.com WATCH US ON YOUTUBE LIVE @ http://www.youtube.com/gracechurch-slus/live LUKE 11:2-4 And he said to them, “When you pray, say: “Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. 3 Give us each day our daily bread, 4 and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation.” I Two Primary Truths 1 Desire for God is the heart of prayer. Now Jesus[a] was praying in a certain place, and when he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.” 2 A Desire for God is the secret to prayer. A Make your wants God’s wants. B We have the freedom to go to God and ask for whatever you want, and He will give it to you. II Four Primary Requests From Luke 11:2–4 1 Ask God for His glory.” A He is the holy one B He is the coming King. 2 God, make your name hallowed. Pray for God’s name to be known around the world. 3 Ask God for his gifts. A He satisfies our hunger B He sustains our faith C Look to Him to give us the gifts we need III Ask God for his grace. And forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us. (Luke 11:4) 1 We ask God for His gifts because only He can give them 2 We can pray “Forgive us our sins,” and knowing that we have a hearing with Him. 3 The more we walk with God in prayer, the more we connect with Him in prayer, IV Ask God for His guidance. And lead us not into temptation. (Luke 11:4c) 1 We are prone to wander, 2 Apart from Christ, we are powerless against temptation. We want your guidance because we know that ours is so limited in scope.
