1. Father (1-2a)

Jesus prayed frequently, but his disciples usually slept. Once, they had a sense of problem, and they asked him to teach them to pray. He said, 'When you pray, say ?Father.'' God is our Father who loves us and wants to have a personal relationship with us; also, he is holy. We must approach him in love and trust. And we must fear him--love and respect him as the holy God.

2. Your kingdom come (2b)

We must make God's great prayer topic our own--'Your kingdom come.' Jesus came, died and rose again so that God's kingdom might come in the hearts of men. He will come again to establish that perfect kingdom of righteousness and peace.

3. Our greatest needs (3-4)

We need bread to sustain our physical lives, and God's word to sustain us spiritually. We need to forgive and be forgiven, and we need the protection from Satan which only Jesus can give.

Application: Father, your kingdom come.
One Word: Learn prayer by praying
