When we pray...

 

Now Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he finished, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples." And he said to them, "When you pray, say: "Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come."  Luke 11:1-2 (ESV) When God's children pray, they are talking to their Father--their Father, who created them from their mother's womb, their Father, who created and sustains the universe they inhabit, their Father, who is limitless in power, abundant in mercy and the deliverer of hope and healing to nations, their Father, who has no perspective, always does what is right and boundless in what He can achieve, their Father, who knows the future and will set us up to be successful in the future, their Father, who will one day judge the living and the dead, will see all humankind bow to Him and who will ultimately defeat sin, their Father is everywhere, at all times, and holds the heart of the king in His hand and directs it, like a river, wherever He wishes. When we pray, we need to talk to Him according to who He is and what He is about, and in the context of the family in which we live. As we live in reality, we can enjoy this life, not fear death, and spread hope to our fellow man.
