Prayer: Pray Like This

Jesus provided His disciples with a revolutionary framework for prayer that transforms hearts, not just words. Beginning with 'Our Father,' He invites us into intimate relationship while maintaining reverence for God's transcendence. The prayer structure prioritizes God's concerns first - His holiness, kingdom, and will - before addressing our daily needs for provision, forgiveness, and protection from temptation. This isn't a magical formula but scaffolding for building authentic prayer life. When we pray according to Jesus' framework, our hearts align with God's priorities, causing us to care about what He cares about and desire what He desires.
