The document discusses the Lord's Prayer, breaking it down into four parts: adoration, confession, thanksgiving, and supplication. For each part, it provides biblical references and prompts the reader to reflect on what they can give God adoration for, confess to Him, thank Him for, and ask of Him. It then provides more context on each part, explaining that adoration is worshipping God for who He is, confession acknowledges our weaknesses and sins, thanksgiving expresses our faith in God's total provision, and supplication is freely asking God for our needs like a child asks a parent.

What should I ask of God?________________________________________________________
To show adoration to God is to worship, praise, honor and exalt Him. In other words, respect Him, be in awe of Him,
and say wonderful things about Him.
When we begin to acknowledge how great, perfect and awesome our God is, we can’t help but recognize our weaknesses and
sins. Admitting and confessing our sins, and knowing He has forgiven our past, present and future sins is vital to our prayer
life.
Giving thanks expresses our faith, and it is faith that pleases God. We don’t necessarily give thanks for the circumstances,
but give thanks for His total provision during good and painful circumstances
Asking seems to come naturally to children. As God’s children, we can freely talk to Him, asking Him for anything. And
like any caring parent, He will say, “Yes” to some of our requests, “No” some of the time, and at times, He will say, “Wait.”
