An ApplicationIt's fascinating that God prefers succinct prayers and dislikes wordy, drawn out, or showy prayers. As if to say, talking to me is important, but not your purpose in life. Note MT 6:9 say how to pray, not what, because God wants a relationship, not a religion. Personal relationship good: LEV 26:12, HOS 11:3-4, REV 3:20. Hollow religion bad: AM 5:21-24, MT 15:9.

Connect the DotsThis prayer is referred to in most of Christendom as "The Lord's Prayer" but it's really just His model prayer for the rest of us. His prayer is recorded in John 17, and in a word, is about unity.
