I've been studying a lot about prayer lately. God, I feel, is using several things to revolutionize my prayer life. One of the things he's using is sermon prep. I'm preaching this weekend and the focus of my talk will be on the Lord's Prayer. It's a prayer we've all memorized and I think that because of that sometimes, we have a tendency to gloss over it. We shouldn't. It's huge. In the Lord's Prayer, Jesus offers us a model of how we should pray. Here it is in a nutshell--it's a three-part thing (yes, this is a preview to my sermon):
- Declare God's greatness
- Surrender your will
- Acknowledge your dependence on him
A book I recommend if you want to revolutionize your prayer life: The Papa Prayer by Larry Crabb.
