The Lord's Prayer
Chuck Booher
Matthew 6:9-13


Tie in Ghost…
- How many are haunted by your past and wishing the pain could be washed away?
- You are distant from someone that you wished loved you and they don't.

- How many have things weighing down on you and you can't get free?
- You keep trying to fill the void and nothing works…
- Buying things
- Trying a new experience
- You read self-help books
- You Google it…
- You have prayed and yet nothing really changes…
- You are praying to a God that you do not know.
- What if you could really find the answer?

- Hurting because you cannot be happy.
- Hurting because you feel lost.
- Hurting because you are filled with fear and worry.

12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

Our Father

- But why did He do this? What was the purpose?
- …so that we would be brought into a relationship with God as our Father.
- That is why He Starts with Father
- For many there is an absence of what it means to have a Good, Good, Father.
