Back to EpisodesEP#394: Why Bother Telling God What He Already Knows? - The Lord's Prayer for Real Life
Description
From Today’s Episode
In today’s episode, we talk about the point of praying.
Ever feel like your prayers are just a list of requests God already knows about anyway? In this episode, we dig into the Lord's Prayer and uncover why Jesus taught us to pray—and it has nothing to do with information and everything to do with relationship. If you're tired, worn out, and craving real connection with God, this faith-based reflection will help you feel safe bringing your whole heart to Him, exactly as you are.
Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it!
Verse
Matthew 6:7–8
"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."
Question
God, what would you love to hear me talk with you about today?
