“If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!” (Matthew 7:11, NASB)
Over the last seven Mondays, we have been exploring the subject of prayer. Today we are looking at the relational aspect of prayer.
“Our Lord bases prayer on personal relationship. He taught us to call God our Father, and the implication of sonship changes the who aspect of prayer.”
(Samuel Chadwick, The Path of Prayer, page 40)
Much the way we go to our earthly fathers with our needs and cares, we are encouraged to go to God as our Father. In our relationship with God, we gain an accessibility, an intimacy, and a love that goes beyond any earthly relationship.
We can make our requests knowing our Father will always have our best interests at heart in the way He responds.
I hope you will join me at Woman to Woman Ministries HERE as we continue looking at the words of Jesus in Matthew 7 and the relational aspect of prayer.
