Our Father - Week 1
“The Real You”
January 11, 2026
Matt Mizell



Prayer is not _________________________ — it’s _________________________.
(1 Timothy 4:12, Matthew 6:9-13 KJV, Matthew 5:1-2, Matthew 6:5-8)




Prayer is not about impressing in ______________________ — it’s about connecting in ______________________.(Ephesians 4:21-24)




The more you are _________________ with God, the more He’ll change your _________________ for real.
