Prayer:

"Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Matthew 6:9-13

Notice the first word - "OUR" - Jesus did NOT have to say it that way - if He had used the word "Jehovah" or "Mighty God" - or great "I AM" -  we'd have been ok with that and what a difference it would have made - but generously He adopts us in as sons and daughters - on the same level as Himself - He is trying to reveal to His disciples (and us) His Father - and help us to "GET IT" that we are in the family too once we BELIEVE in HIM! Whew - He just invites us into the throne room along with Himself! Are you getting this thought?! THRONE ROOM privileges! And we think prayer is a "duty" or "obligation" ?????? :-)
