THEME

On the lips of a person lying in hospital in a coma, these words form.  In the midst of personal tragedy or hardship, these words bring tears to eyes.  In times of doubt or want or struggle, these words give strength.  They are words for every season.  Words so simple, brief and yet comprehensive.  Words which radically make a difference.  For in Jesus Christ we discover the most important truth in the world – our God is a father who invites us into the intimacy of his love and who promises to respond more abundantly than we could ever imagine. 

As God promises: ‘Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’  Jeremiah 33:3.

In this study we discover the radical prayer that transforms our lives and aligns our hearts with our Father in heaven. 

THEME VERSE

 “When you pray...your Father knows exactly what you need even before you ask him! Pray like this: Our Father in heaven...” Matthew 6:7ff

REMEMBER THIS WEEK

The radical simplicity of the Lord’s prayer is that it contains the rhythm of a blessed life.  It starts with God, moves to our human needs and rises to God again.  God is in this prayer.  We are in this prayer.  The past, the present and the future are in this prayer. The deepest things of life are wrapped up an find fulfilment in the presence of our heavenly Father.
