—Isaiah 63:15-16; 64:8-9
by: Joan Small.
Jesus taught His disciples to acknowledge God as Father in their prayers just as Isaiah proclaimed, “You, O Lord, are our Father.” If we can see God as our Father, we are able to cast all our cares on Him because a Father takes care of His children. When we see God as our Father, we also learn to trust Him because He knows best. In Matthew 6:8, Jesus taught that “your Father knows exactly what you need even before you ask” (NLT). Jesus wanted us to know God as Father and for us to have confidence in Him to love, secure, and establish us in this truth.
