Prayer Model: The Lord’s Prayer
“Our Father in Heaven”
God isn’t interested in us practicing religion; instead, He desires a relationship with us. God has adopted us as His children and loves for us to call Him our Father. Starting our prayer time acknowledging our relationship with God is powerful for us and delights Him as well.
So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when He adopted you as His own children. Now we call Him, “Abba, Father.” – Romans 8:15 NLT
Proclaim your intimate relationship with God, addressing Him as your Heavenly Father and thanking Him that you are His child.
PRAYER:
“Father, I come to You in prayer today thankful that I am Your child. I know I am a sinner, but You have forgiven me and adopted me as Your own, and I am so grateful to call you my Heavenly Father. Thank you for loving me. I love you.”
