Into the darkness, Jesus brought light.

Into the hopelessness of our hurt, suffering, disillusionment, fear, and failure, Jesus brought hope. 

He came for the scorned and the rejected. He came for the unclean and the outcast. He came for the broken and the shamed. 

He came for the lost. 

He came for the sinner. 

He came for us. 

… and into the sin of our dark and hopeless world, Jesus brought the light and hope of salvation.

 “I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness” (John 12:46).

What if we’ve made prayer to be something different than what God intended prayer to be?

What if prayer was less about asking and receiving things from God and more about aligning ourselves with God and His will for our lives?

What if prayer was less about God granting our requests and more about God changing us?

What if prayer was less about what we want God to do for us and more about what God wants to do in us?

In our verse-by-verse series through the model prayer Jesus gave us in Matthew 6, we’ll see prayer as God intended when Jesus told His disciples, “Pray, then, in this way…”

A couple of bad decisions spiraled, or bad choices became even worse habits. Before you know it, life has sunk to a place you never thought it would reach. And the way we try to solve the problem? We dress our mess up to look like we’ve got it all together.

But when we’re honest with ourselves, no matter how good we look on the outside, on the inside, we’re still a mess.

We’ve all been there. Maybe you’re there right now. Mess is something all of humanity has in common.

But in our mess, there’s hope. Because that mess didn’t send God running. Our mess is what drew God near.
