The LORD's Prayer
Our Father in Heaven
Day 1: Our Loving Father
Reading: Matthew 7:7-11
Jesus teaches us to approach God as our loving Father. Just as earthly parents desire to give good gifts to their children, our heavenly Father delights in blessing us. Today, reflect on God's fatherly love for you. How does seeing God as a loving Father change your perspective on prayer and your relationship with Him? Consider ways you might trust God more fully, knowing He desires good things for you.
Ask God to help you see His fatherly love in your daily life.

Day 2: The Family of God
Reading: Galatians 3:26-29
The Lord's Prayer begins with "Our Father," reminding us that we are all part of God's family. This challenges us to see beyond our differences and view others as brothers and sisters in Christ. Today, consider how you might be harboring prejudices or divisions in your heart. Ask God to help you see others as He sees them - as beloved children. How can you practically demonstrate love and unity with fellow believers who may be different from you? Pray for the strength to break down barriers and build bridges within the family of God.

forming and shaping your spiritual life.

Day 4: Seeking God's Kingdom
Reading: Matthew 6:25-34
In the Lord's Prayer, we pray "Your kingdom come, Yours will be done." This reminds us to prioritize God's purposes over our own desires. Today, examine your own priorities. Are you seeking first God's kingdom, or are you focused on worldly concerns? Ask God to align your heart with His purposes. How might your daily decisions change if you were truly putting God's kingdom first? Pray for the courage to live out your faith in tangible ways
that advance God's kingdom on earth.

Day 5: Forgiveness and Grace
Reading: Colossians 3:12-17
The Lord's Prayer teaches us to ask for forgiveness and to forgive others. This reflects the heart of the Gospel - God's grace extended to us, which we then extend to others. Today, reflect on areas where you need to receive God's forgiveness. Are there people in your life you need to forgive? Ask God for the strength to forgive as you have been forgiven. Consider practical steps you can take to reconcile with others and live out the grace you've received in Christ. Let the forgiveness you've experienced transform how you relate to others.
