A Model Prayer

A detailed model of a car helps you see what the real thing is like but on a much smaller scale. A chemistry class model of an enlarged atom with protons, neutrons, and electrons helps you discover something greater from what is otherwise unseen.

The model Jesus gives us in the Lord’s Prayer does both. Though only a few verses, it constructs the details that guide us to a larger prayer—a framework for more than we can ask, think, or imagine. And like the atom, as we enlarge each verse, we find there is more He wants to unveil. Interestingly, we find the way we state this prayer is actually the closest we can get to telling God what to do in our lives while still maintaining the utmost respect for Him.

When we pray with assurance, we are agreeing with what He already wants for us! God wants to be worshipped. He wants us to join Him in His work. He wants to provide for, forgive, and protect us.
