The Father Who Gives

Name Date

Read and Think

Jesus' disciples saw how often He prayed, and they asked Him to teach them. He gave them a model prayer. It begins with God: Father, may Your name be holy and Your Kingdom come. Then it turns to our needs: daily bread, forgiveness of sins, and protection from temptation. We forgive others because God has forgiven us.

Jesus then taught them to pray boldly. He told of a man who knocked on a friend's door at midnight, needing bread for a guest. The friend got up because the man kept knocking. Jesus promised that everyone who asks receives and everyone who seeks finds. Earthly fathers give good gifts, so our heavenly Father will surely give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him.

Some people accused Jesus of using the devil's power to cast out demons. Jesus said a kingdom divided against itself cannot stand. Later, He warned the Pharisees for cleaning the outside of a cup but not the inside. God cares about our hearts, not just how we look.
