QUOTES

Big Idea: If God is our Father, we should pray to him authentically, confidently, and humbly.


Message Outline

1.    We should pray to our unseen Father authentically (6:5-6).

2.   We should pray to our understanding Father confidently (6:7-8).

3. We should pray to our holy Father humbly (6:9).


Babbling prayer can be understood as occurring anytime we mindlessly recite religious prayers that seek to manipulate God.        


Confidence in prayer comes from knowing that God is our loving and understanding Father who knows—even better than we do—our needs.
