About this episode

Pastor Thomas-Steele teaches that our perspective on prayer shapes how we pray, emphasizing the importance of viewing God as both intimate Father and sovereign King.

In this message, Pastor Thomas-Steele teaches that the way we view prayer determines the way we do prayer. Before Jesus ever tells us what to ask for, He reshapes our perspective with four powerful words: “Our Father in heaven…” (Matthew 6:9) With these four opening words, Jesus teaches us that prayer begins with remembering: • Prayer is about “we,” not just “me.” • God is paternal — close, caring, and personal. • God is powerful — sovereign, reigning, and able. When we start with the right view of God — intimate Father and reigning King — peace follows. This message will help you reset your outlook, deepen your prayer life, and experience what Jesus meant when He taught us how to pray.
