05/27/23 Saturday Prayer Challenge

Hear these words from Danny Akin, my president at Southeastern Seminary, about praying to God as Father–and be amazed at the privilege today.

Jesus says, “you should pray like this: Our Father in heaven…” The privilege to approach the Sovereign Lord of the Universe in such a manner should not be underestimated. . . . When we pray, we flee to the “Father in heaven,” the One who through faith in His Son, the Lord Jesus, has brought us into His family by adoption (Gal. 4:5-6). We can approach the great God now as “Our Father.” What a privilege we have, and one that we should never take for granted.
