The God of the "how much more"

Ps spoke about the God of the "how much more" today,
there is always so much more to learn,
Last week, we learn tthat Solitude & Prayer is essential
in our walk with the Lord and as we dig deeper, we grow stronger.

short notes:
Prayer is not bout techniques or formulas. Its essentially our rship with god or
communion with god.we need to have the right understanding of who god is.
A distorted image of god will affect the way we approach god in prayer.

A) We need to know the pattern of prayer as jesus taught us.

1. Theocentric prayer.god centered prayer. - being concern to honoured god's
names instead of meeting our personal needs first. Eg.hallowed be your name.v2

"Lord lay upon our hearts the things that are upon yours" edmund chan

2. Felt needs prayer. Physical needs

'give us each day our daily bread'

3. Spiritual needs

'forgive us our sins'

4. Relational needs

'for we also forgive everyone who sins against us.

5. Moral needs - ask god to not let us yield to the temptation.

'lead us not into temptation.'

what a refreshing perspective of the Lord's prayer.
