    When we pray, we see the Father’s love (the basis of our prayer), the Father’s control (our assurance), and the Father’s heart (our goal in life).

    The Lord’s Prayer we recite is a prayer Jesus taught His disciples. • It is not His prayer to God but a prayer meant for us. • Jesus need not have to pray “forgive us our sins” for He had no sins. In the Scriptures, the longest prayer of Jesus is found in John 17. • This prayer was made just ...read more

    Like a carnival ride, our modern lives seem to be spinning out of control. But busyness is the enemy of the spiritual life. As Elijah discovered, God is not in the busyness - the earthquake, wind and fire - but in the quiet whisper.
