I want you to see what God has to say about what I'm about to share with you just because the subject. We gonna be looking at very simple. Please God, I'm going to say that again I want this to get in your heart. Please God.

Maybe I can say this again, please call what you can you hear that so I I don't know way you all run, but God does knows exactly where you will you notice how long you been at it knows about the scars that you carry you naughty knows about.

He knows of actual regrets knows about those things that you and I do and have done some of them go way back. None. He well knows about the language that you that you deeply regret he he he knows. He knows all about us to know that he sees us he loves us. One of my favorite Bible verses and I'm sure yours is to that even the very hairs upon our heads. Unnumbered the presence of God. He made you Jesus died for you and he loves you. He knows he sees you and he wants you to know something that you can come to him and say please God. I got some things I need to talk to you about.

You know what northern he hears our prayer, but he wants his après join me as we pray together, Lord. Right now I want to pray for people friends of mine people that I don't know people that send me emails right to me people in my own congregation peopling congregations and gathering all across the United States of America. I want to pray for people in uniform right now. People who serve our brave men and women everywhere from medical community, Lord.

Right now, specifically on praying for somebody who's grappling crying out to you. I don't know whether they should I be someone who feels like they begging maybe mode. I just pray that right now people not any given lives to Christ, but they would come to the point at which they see you as all loving heavenly father.

This is the moment of decision. This is your Encouraging Word and we believe it.

I believe it may someone right now. Believe it that we can come to you and say please God. In Jesus name I pray, amen. All right. So let's go to Matthew chapter 6 I'm going to read to you.

The Lord's prayer throughout what a prayer so much that can be said about the Lord's prayer.

All I love the Lord's prayer. Don't you I feel as though I've prayed the Lord's prayer.

All my life I went to boarding school in Africa as a young boy. We prayed the Lord's prayer. I have quoted recited the Lord's prayer, and I might add in languages other than English.

I've spread I've read it. I preached on the roads.

Pray. I want you to see something today that God is put them all is this group of people these were people just like you and me living in a struggling world surrounded by very difficult circumstances can only imagine the regrets that they had the un-conflicts that they'd save. I wish we could sort of take a peek into the family life. I wouldn't be surprised if one of these mainly with the disciples had a real problem with constantly leaving to follow Jesus all over because back at home, but always lift their wives.

The mothers and their children. Maybe you been lifted home and you got such a sweet spirit about you may be your husband or your wife who ever was the breadwinner in your home is off the making ends meet and having to travel a lot packed suitcases. You know I got a friend. I know that comes home on Friday night gets home at 7 o'clock if not Spain Saturday and Sunday. Monday morning first thing 6 AM the first flight out of town like normal week. This is been going on for years of this particular person hasn't been home for years during the week comes home on the weekends hard to be a father or mother just on we can try more do we thank God for parents to been so to foundation holders and builders.

We just so grateful to the Lord for that. Well, this is what Jesus said when they came and said, Lord, teach us to pray. Jesus saved and I'm reading from verse nine of Matthew chapter 6. This then is how you should talk with God told to God's is how you should converse have a conversation with God our father who art in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth just as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread and forgive us for our dates as we also have forgiven those who have sinned against us and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from the evil one and many manuscripts. Ed thine is the kingdom yours is the kingdom yours is the power and the glory for ever and for ever. Amen. You know, my friends, a lot can be said about the Lord's prayer. This is a theological statement the doctrinal statement the teaching statement tells about God tells us about ourselves uncovers just a myriad of deep truths about life and about our relationship with our heavenly father that I am going to tell you that God showed me something that I just simply parceling to you today God was showing us something the Lord Jesus gathered these who meant so much to him and in this instance, I could hood Jesus say to those that he loved. You can you can lost me. Please would you do whatever it is that you're asking. And Jesus was very specific. I want us to go through this and show you something amazing. What is it that we can go to our heavenly father and all skip. You know I'm I'm putting that word. Please, please, God, is I think it's absent many times, don't you think. I think it's symptomatic sometimes even of our own interrelationships. If you noticed how so many people forget the little please. Thank you.

You know I think God's got something to say about that. You know, we need to teach our sons in our notice and we and ourselves need to be just so much more deliberate when when we all ask someone for something you know it it it doesn't it.

It doesn't hurt to say please and when someone gives us something to say thank you. Even with our grandchildren without sons and daughters without spouses with one another but it falls on me, but I want to be able to say please and I won't go on to remind me always, I'm surrounded by such precious people.

Thank you. I thank you I say to you today.

Please would you give your life to Christ you trust Jesus as your Savior. I'm asking please forgive the interruption but always the pastor challenges us with that concept of trusting Jesus Christ.

Your relationship with Christ is important. I beg you please give your life to Christ.

Call that number on the television screen and tell me I've given my life to Christ.

Contact us same and email. Tell your next friend.

Please would you do that please ask you to do that, you know, when you give your life to Christ. I want to send you. Thank you for giving your heart to Jesus, I'm not thanking you, accepting, telling you that's an expression in many ways of my joy because you have become my brother, my sister in Christ. So what was it that Jesus was sharing with us here today that would fall into that category. Well, this seven activities that are focused into the content of what Jesus is giving to all of us and saying to us, you can say please God.

This is what he wants to do. Let's go through them, one please come look at that first statement in verse 10, you all kingdom come, please God, would you bring the reality of your heavenly kingdom to bear the brunt on the sin sick world of ours, you never thought about that, why please come. Why did God tell us when we pray, let's all ask him to bring his kingdom to come. That means let it happen. Now I think because Jesus knows how perfect his kingdom is we don't anymore than we understand perfect people.

I was sharing with a frame just recently, you know, we lose loved ones and I have an you have in our hearts hurt and we we miss them in many times we punctuate the missing of thou loved ones by saying all if only that he had been here for my wedding.

That's very real well.

I just wish God hadn't taken my mother so soon. You know, and I know that my sister is in heaven, but I just wish that she had all that Solorio done even think twice. Don't take away from that I'm with you 100% and yet is Jesus saying let's all skim please to bring his kingdom.

You know why because he knows what perfect means the coming of these kingdom is the very announcement of the perfectness of the re-creation of God. It means everything goes back to the way God intended it to be no exceptions. No one left out the from the firmament, the galaxy of God's sovereign and every single person who is called upon the name of Jesus affect that, don't you, we don't understand that Jesus said, please come as a second one please God, please guide me with verse nine but I will be done.

Your will be done. Does that mean means that Jesus is inviting all of us to all ask him to guide us to counsel us to show us to give us his wisdom, his direction, his understanding his peace. Your will be done, you know, by the way. In one John chapter 2. The Bible says that you know him and the way you know that you know him is if in fact due to his components. The one who says I know him, but does not do his Kaman's is a liar and the truth is not in that person. Bible says the Moloch of knowing Christ as your Savior is the submission of you and I claim to know Christ to the very will of God.

You know Jesus showed us the way. Standing in the garden of his betrayal and looking up to the heavens. This is Jesus himself sweeping drops of blood and he says oh God, please take this cup away from me. Nevertheless, not my will but your will be done.

This fantastic Jesus looking at us saying here's what you can all skim for. Please please come. Please God, you know, we sing a great him guide me. Oh, thou great Jehovah program in the barren land. Guide me. You need God's guidance. I do you do we do you take the will of God out of our lives, we become aimless. Just look at the children of Israel delivered from bondage in Egypt and then every time they stop pleading with God to make known his will and to obey his will. They got into a speed wobble I were running into each other shouting, carrying on getting into wars hating one another. Did you hear that people will of God.

We need God's will and when we marry we need God's will in our rooms we need God's will for our lives. Business decisions.

We need God's will, as we study his word.

As we bring up our sons and daughters.

We need God's will in knowing which college to go to in which way to turn.

We need God's will to know whether to go left or right.

Please God's Lord Jesus, your kingdom come. Please God. Number three. Please provide.

I love this third one. Verse 11 so basic. Give us today our daily bread. By the way, I love bread. I know you do too. Basic basic food type basic you know I been among people you have to do with our tell you one slice of bread is a lot some people that's an entire meal and of what Jesus was saying here.

Look at the very basic basis of the things that you need in your life.

The basic provision of your life are Scott, what is it that you need today. What is what what are you yearning for what what's missing ways.

The gap what what what is it that you want God to do for you is finances are you struggling to make ends meet job. Maybe you'll your wages not high enough making. Maybe you barely making it. Maybe you've racked up some unbelievable medical blue and you just so burdened and pray for God's miracle today I'm in a pray with you write to me say say pasta pray with me maybe just so burdened maybe got so many booms right now. You don't know which way to turn. Maybe it's it's it's to reconnect with the song that you love her daughter Fabio basic provision is just just a sense of peace in your home. Yes, you're married and you got your home with this just a sense of this wife. It's like a unspoken unseen disquiet. I'm going to pray with you okay is what he saying hip. Please Lord, provide yes provide. We always would use this to things, but it's the provision of my heart and my soul. You do it for you.

Number four.

Please forgive forgive us for Allison Uris and my friend that news to you.

Bible says all of us have sinned and come short of the glory of God. None righteous, no not one step number one with forgiveness is also God to forgive you for your sin on the salvation now all ask him to forgive you and receive Jesus in your heart and I'm going to Austin in a minute to record that to write that to respond to that. You can say yes you just given your life to Christ all ask him to forgive.

That's why he died on the cross for your sin and for myosin please would you gave me for myosin and you don't do it because it's already been done on the cross, Jesus died for your sin in Vermont. He paid the price in full is playing awful. Given my friend wow that's fantastic.

Number five please note, I wish that Jesus had just stop with the forgiveness you know I love talking about Jesus for giving me but want to decide next. Just as I am forgiving those who have sinned against me with no you carrying that burden right now our tell you, folks, I don't know many people and none you been hurt by someone you being abused at boarding school in your childhood. Someone molested you many years ago someone belittled you, someone made fun of you when you playing that sport.

Someone made you feel about that big someone treated you sarcastically listen. The list goes on and you harbor something yeah right you do is so hard to forgive but you must give, how do we do that please help me Lord, can you hear that these help me Lord I can't do this but can win Jesus does it in and for you by his spirit. Number six. Please prevent please prevent lead me not into temptation all of us get tempted.

Lord, please prevent me from succumbing to the evil one, but I made the decision I'm no longer going to say I'm no longer dated. I'm no longer in touch. I'm no longer going to be Lord help me please prevent me because he throws up a roadblock Christ in you, enables you to become and overcome one more please accept all of the lost one is the kingdom and the power and the glory set my praise like he doesn't but he wants us to. It's like my children, my grandchildren tell me that they love me. I know they do, but I still want something for my soul. You know it's good for them to meet next.
