(1) WE PRAY OUR LOVE FOR GOD.
(2) WE PRAY OUR HEAVENLY FATHER.
(3) WE PRAY A KINGDOM MINDSET.
- We pray amidst the tension of living in the already and not yet.
(4) WE PRAY FOR GOD’S GLORY, , AND OURSELVES.
- We pray holistically—for God, others, ourselves.
- God’s glory and human need
- “The first three petitions in the prayer all center on God: his name, his kingdom, his will.” – Zambian theologian J. M. Kapolyo
- Heavenly and earthy, spiritual and physical
- Past, present, and future
- Christians are not so heavenly minded as to be of no earthly good, but so kingdom minded as to be of much earthly good.
(5) WE PRAY ONE ANOTHER.
