Bible Text: Luke 11:1-4 | Preacher: G.F. | Series: Lord Teach us to Pray

“And he said to them, “When you pray, say: “Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come.” – Luke 11:2

If you were given an audience with God what would you say? My guess is that you’d be pretty nervous. What do you say to God? Well, the Puritans used to say “we pray God’s Word back to Him, we pray His promises back to Him.” That’s what you talk about with God. You talk about with God what He’s talked about with you. You talk about with God the things that He has promised to you.
