Prayer can become so focused on what is wrong that we lose sight of the One we are praying to. We bring the decision, the problem, the fear, the relationship, or the outcome we want changed, and before long the entire prayer is centered on what we need God to do.
In Matthew 6:9–13, Jesus teaches a different order. He begins with the Father.
