"And I want us to notice as we come to this study two particular things, that the Lord's Prayer is obviously a pattern for praying, but one of the ways in which we can use it enormously helpfully is to think of it as a pattern for living so that we learn to live in the presence of God." [00:00:30]
"And I think one of the things I learned just from that title, the book itself is like a curate's egg, as they say, there are good things in it and not so good things in it. But one of the things that we learned from that title, that prayer is not a compartmentalized part of our lives, but that what prayer is, it is the outflow of the way in which we actually live our lives before the face of God." [00:01:15]
"His life is punctuated by seasons of prayer, but he's able to teach his disciples this prayer because he understands this is the lifestyle into which he is introducing them. Life lived in the presence of the Heavenly Father." [00:02:33]
"The intercession we make here is that God would be God to us, that God would be seen to be God in the world, and that God's kingdom would come to fructification in our lives. And so, we come to Him as we've already seen, as our Heavenly Father." [00:03:47]
"And we recognize that that intimacy that we have with Him is especially wonderful because His name is holy. And because we understand His name is holy, we want to see His name treated as holy." [00:04:10]
"And so we want to see the transforming power of God breaking out into people's lives and then bowing the knee to Jesus because there are blessings and blessedness to be found in Jesus, that is to be found nowhere else." [00:07:15]
"We are beginning to think in terms of daily dependence on the Lord. We realize, no matter how much we have, that the Heavenly Father does not mean us to live in dependence on what we have rather than in dependence on Him." [00:11:39]
"And of course, one of the things that this does for us is it leads us to live in the presence of God and to live constantly in the dependence of faith." [00:14:10]
"There is only one way to live, and that is the way of day by day, dependence upon the Lord. And this does something to us when we pray this way." [00:14:41]
"Forgive us our debts as we also have forgiven our debtors, not as a quid pro quo. If I forgive them, you should forgive me, but in the knowledge that he is a God who comes to us with hands full of forgiveness. And as we look to that forgiveness, contemplate it, all unforgiveness is washed away out of our lives." [00:16:33]
"And it's because we realize we need forgiveness that we also pray, Father, don't lead us into temptation but deliver us from the evil one." [00:20:50]
"And so we're praying here in dependence upon Him, knowing our sinfulness, knowing our tendencies, knowing, as Robert Murray McChain says, that the seeds of every known sin are in our hearts. And we pray, Father, keep me." [00:23:00]
