This series walks through Jesus’ prayer as a school of discipleship, not a script to recite. Beginning with the intimacy of “Our Father” and the reverence of His name, it reorders desire around the King and His kingdom, then trains daily dependence for provision. It moves into the hard, transforming work of forgiveness, and the sober realism of spiritual battle—asking for protection that keeps love for Christ intact. It concludes in doxology, lifting petition into praise so that ordinary lives become places where God’s rule, grace, and glory are gladly welcomed.
