The theology on which our praying is built is that our access to God the Father is through Jesus the Son who opened the way for us. Jesus teaches his disciples to pray to the Father because he forgives sins and brings repentant sinners into the presence of God. When we pray, let us come to the Father in the name of Jesus the Son.

Jesus spoke of God and prayed to him as his Father. When Jesus taught his disciples about God and how to pray to him, he told them to call God their Father. The theology on which our praying is built is the Fatherhood of God, his greatness, goodness, and giving nature. When we pray, let us say, “Our Father.”

We tend to divide ourselves into groups based on our likes and dislikes, but Jesus prays for all believers to be united through faith in Him. He provides the love and reconciliation that is necessary for this supernatural unity among His diverse people. This kind of unity is a witness of God’s love to a sinfully divided world.

We often treat prayer casually, as though it were something trivial. But how is it that we are even able to pray? How can sinful people have access to a holy God? On our own, we cannot. But we see in the prayer of Jesus that we are able to pray because God had a plan from eternity past to give us eternal life, and Jesus accomplished that plan by doing everything the Father sent him to do. Jesus has torn down the barrier between us and God, giving us access to him. This humbles us and frees us to see prayer not as a burden, but as a gift of grace, and to run to God in prayer with joy and gratitude.
