Day 2 | Matthew 6:9

“Pray then like this: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.’”

Prayer Lesson: Every time (except for in Matthew 27:46), Jesus addresses God as “Father.” This not only reveals the relationship between Jesus (2nd Person of the Trinity) and the Father (1st Person of the Trinity), it also reveals our relationship to God. He is our Father who we can come to with cares and concerns. Since He’s the perfect Father, we hallow (meaning “to make holy”) His name. In other words, we pray with honor and respect. We praise His name because He is set apart - above and beyond any other.

Prayer for Today: Begin your time in prayer today praising God for some of the ways He is set apart. Next, think of three specific ways God has shown Himself as a perfect Father to you over the last month. Take time to thank Him for them. Ask your Abba Father to meet one need you have right now.
