Bible Text: Matthew 6:7-15 | Preacher: Davis Lacey | Series: The Gospel of Matthew: The King and His Kingdom | Main point: prayer is not first and foremost a way for us to bring OUR desires up before God – but rather a way through which God brings HISdesires to pass THROUGH us.
Things we need FOR God (vv. 9-10)
“On earth as it is in heaven”
“Hallowed be your name”
“Your kingdom come, your will be done”
Things we need FROM God (vv. 11-15)
“Daily bread”
“Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors”
“Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil”
“We can hear heaven’s ‘YES’ to our prayers, because Jesus heard heaven’s ‘NO’ to his prayer in Gethsemane…”
