This is our 20th Core passage in Core 52 and it is our Lord’s model prayer. He says we are to pray like this. Not as a formula, not that reciting these exact words is some sort of incantation that unlocks the gates of heaven. Jesus is modeling here for us an attitude and an approach to talking with God.
What I want to do in this message is simply pray through the LORD’s prayer and expand on it. If you have ever prayed through Scripture, this is what this is, except that this Scripture is a prayer itself. I want to pray through this as both personal prayer and as corporate prayer.
