A House That Prays Part 2: Pray Like This (Matthew 6:9-15)

When Jesus says, "You should pray like this:" we're about to learn something very important if we pay attention. What follows these instructive words from Jesus is what we know as the Lord's Prayer. What if we really use this as not just something to recite, but a pattern for a life-giving, sustainable prayer life? Could this be a tool to help transform prayer from a laundry list of "I need," and "I'm sorry," to a kingdom-focused, relationship-oriented engagement with our Father and His mission in the earth? Actually, yes, this is exactly what Jesus is teaching His disciples to do. Our needs are still addressed, and repentance still has its vital role, but in a much wider picture of the purpose of God.
