Most of the church has memorized the Lord's Prayer. It was given as a response to an Apostle's request for Jesus to "teach us to pray." God is essentially telling us how to effectively approach Him and receive the blessing(s) prayer has to offer. This should give us great confidence that our prayer will be heard and received by Him. In both an extremely practical and yet scholarly/theological fashion, Dr. Riley carefully dissects this vitally important prayer and will open your eyes to its many life-altering nuances. You will be encouraged through this volume in many of the following ways: You will gain insight into your personal relationship with God as a Father while understanding His sovereignty, character, kingdom and will. You will personally be challenged to grow in faith, grace, and mercy by trusting God and walking in forgiveness. Your understanding of and appreciation for the leadership of God in your life and His power to deliver you from temptation and evil will greatly increase. Your spirit should soar with extemporaneous praise for the thrilling life you can choose to live as His special child. You will also appreciate the importance of living your Christian life within the community of the Church."
