We pray to the Father 1

“And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.”    Luke 11:2(KJV)

From our opening scripture, Jesus is letting us know that when we pray we should say, “Our Father.” This means that all of us who are God’s children have equal rights in His presence.
In Mark 14:36 when Jesus prayed in the garden of Gethsamane, He said, “…Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee …” Going by the example of Jesus, we can see  that when He prayed, He called God Father.  

Even the Bible tell us in Romans 8:15, “For ye received not the spirit of bondage again unto fear; but ye received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.” So it is evident that when we pray, we must pray on the basis of a relationship because we are His sons and daughters and He is our Father. 

Not every one can call God Father. Those who can call God Father are those who have received Jesus as their Lord and are born again, therefore they have received access to the Father. In Ephesians 2:17-19 the Bible says, “And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God”

Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for the witness of your Spirit in my heart that has awakened me to your Fatherhood. Abba, Father I worship you for who you are and for your everlasting greatness. I pray that Your Will be established on the earth and in my life in Jesus Name. Amen.
