Yesterday I was visiting with my pastor about my lack of intimacy with God. He pointed me to the Lord's prayer in the Msg version. It seemed significant in a way that I'd not noticed before. Matthew 6:9-13 (Msg)
Our father in heaven, Reveal who you are. Set the world right, Do what's best - as above, so below.
Keep us alive with three square meals, Keep us forgiven with you and forgiving others.
Keep us safe from ourselves and the Devil.
You're in charge! You can do anything you want! You're ablaze in beauty! Yes. Yes. Yes
I haven't really thought of it as that casual before. I knew that God wants us to talk to him like he's our daddy, not just formally as father. This was described very well in Ken Hemphill's book called 'The Prayer of Jesus'.
