- I think this applies to new believers and seasoned Jesus followers. When you start your walk with God, prayer can seem intimidating and when you are 10 years in, it can seem burdensome. The verse Luke 11:2 that you referenced, Jesus told the disciples to address God as father when they pray to him. I believe this tells us as believers, when we pray, we are speaking to our father, the one who cares and loves his children. Its an intimate thing and always accessible to us. I loved this post and thought you worded things so well, I look forward to reading more!
- Oh, it definitely does. I've been reading Karl Barth and T F Torrance, and my prayers are definitely different from the shopping lists I used to offer in my younger days as a follower of Christ.
