Prayer is our way of communicating with God through different ways. Yet we sometimes focus more on saying the right words than on the God to whom we are praying. Last Tuesday, we were reminded that prayer is not about how beautifully we say it, but about who God is and the privilege we have to come before Him because of Christ.
As we begin our new series, 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐲 𝐋𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐉𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐬, we are reminded that our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, taught us how to pray so that we may rightly relate with God and recognize Him for who He truly is. Though our sin separated us from the holy God, Christ became the way for us to draw near to Him, and through faith in Him, we are welcomed as God’s children. Because of the Gospel, prayer now becomes a response to God’s grace—coming before Him with fear and reverence, yet also with confidence and trust because Christ has given us access to the Father. And so now, our prayers flow from sincere hearts that know, love, and treasure who God is.
