The Power of Prayer!

In this message from Matthew 6:9–13, we uncover the true meaning behind the Lord’s Prayer—a divine pattern Jesus gave to teach us how to connect with God personally and powerfully. Prayer begins with relationship as we come to “Our Father in Heaven,” moves to reverence as we honor His holy name, and leads us to request His kingdom and will to be done on earth as in heaven. It teaches us to depend on God for our resources—our daily bread, to walk in forgiveness as we forgive others, to seek His strength for resistance against temptation, to trust in His rescue from evil, and to end every prayer in resolution—acknowledging His eternal kingdom, power, and glory. This message reminds us that prayer is not a memorized ritual but a living relationship that transforms our hearts, aligns us with God’s will, and releases His power into our lives. Prayer doesn’t prepare us for the battle—prayer is the battle!
