Based on the Lord's Prayer found in Matthew 6

1. Next Steps

3. Remember who you are!
Baptism

4. Start with Adoration

5. “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for
they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the
street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they
have received their reward in full.

6. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and
pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father,
who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

7. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans,
for they think they will be heard because of their many
words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what
you need before you ask him.

8. “This, then, is how you should pray:
“‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in
heaven. Give us today our daily bread.

9. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our
debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us
from the evil one.’

10. For if you forgive other people when they sin against you,
your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do
not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive
your sins.” Matthew 6:5-14 (NIV)

11. Start with Adoration

12. HALLOWED
of ultimate value, supreme worth, sacred

13. You will always pray when what
you “hallow” is at stake!

14. The NECESSITY of Praise
Worship changes the worshiper
into the image of the One worshiped

15. “Your religion is what you do with your solitude.”
Bishop William Law

16. The PRIORITY of Praise
PETITION is how you look at the world… (I have needs)
CONFESSION is how you look at yourself… (I have problems)
ADORATION is how you look at Life… (I have hope)

17. The ANATOMY of Praise
OUR FATHER - loving and merciful, tender, personal
IN HEAVEN – Holy, Majestic, Fear of the Lord, Supreme,

18. The ANATOMY of Praise
“No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one
knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom
the Son chooses to reveal him.” Luke 10:22

19. Living in Adoration
Adoration Hallowed be thy name…
Petition Give us this day our daily bread…
Confession Forgive us our trespasses …
