“Pray for me.” People who normally pay no attention to God can be heard asking for prayer when they find themselves in trouble or at their wit’s end with some life circumstance. However, ask a dozen people to whom they are praying, and you’ll get a dozen different answers! Prayer has become a pleasant catch phrase for people of all faiths or no faith at all! However, the Bible is clear—our prayers should be offered to God, the Father. Jesus set the example in His own devotional life, and He taught the disciples to begin their own prayers with, “Our Father.”

So ask yourself, how do you pray and to whom? Do you wrestle with the idea of God as a father because your earthly parent was absent or let you down in some way? Then, Jill’s study, which is based on the Lord’s Prayer, may give you a fresh perspective and a renewed love for your heavenly Father.
