Bottom Line

Prayer is relational not transactional.

This, then, is how you should pray: “ ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,”
Matthew 6:9

Come to God corporately.

Know God intimately.

Adore God wholeheartedly.

"Adoration is the lifting up of the heart and mind to God, asking nothing but to enjoy God’s presence"
–The Book of Common Prayer

Action Steps

1. Do I treat spirituality like an à la carte menu?
2. How can I exercise this corporate dimension of faith?
3. What negative assumptions do I make about God. How does that form the way I relate to him?
4. Spend some time in prayer this week adoring God. No agenda. No to-do list. Just enjoy Him for who He is.
