Reflection
Genesis 18:20-32, Colossians 2:12-14, Luke 11:1-13

“God is our Father”
Praying the Lord’s Prayer, we must first experience God as our Father with whom we can trust and abandon ourselves totally in His presence. If not, we will simply recite this prayer without knowing the Person whom we are addressing it to.

When we relate with God as someone close to us, we will freely ask God our loving Father for the desires of our hearts. We ask with persistence but also with the heart that trust that He will give us the best that we need in His time and His ways.

Questions for reflection:
1) How does my prayer life at this point of my life reflect my relationship with God?

2) Is God as my Father a mere idea, a concept that I have? Or do I truly experience Him as my loving Father whom I trust? How can I grow more in the way I relate with God?
