Father in Heaven

Matthew 6:9

New King James Version (NKJV)

⁹ In this manner, therefore, pray:

Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.

It is no small thing that when Jesus taught the disciples how to pray He began with our Father. We believers in Jesus as the Messiah have been adopted and are now sons and daughters of God.  Unfortunately for many the thought of God as a father is foreign to them or even scary, because of the relationship or lack of relationship they have or had with their earthly father. 

Whether your father was the best father in the world or whether he was the biggest jerk or if he was just plain absent he is nothing like our Father in heaven.  We only need to look at Jesus to see the truth about our Father in heaven. 

The life of Jesus shows us exactly what the Father is like. Study it. Meditate on it and know the Father's love.  He is with you always. He will never leave nor forsake you.  There is no condemnation in Him.  He is a God who gives. He will not abuse you our use you.  Trust Him.
