Prayer As A Vision For Whole Life
- The Lord's Prayer is a vision for a whole new life centered on God rather than a mere ritual or how-to for prayer.
- When the heart orbits God through adoration, prayer heals and reorients every part of life.
Adoration Must Drive Confession And Asking
- Prayer must begin with adoration; confession and requests only work when they flow from worship.
- Without adoration, repentance deepens guilt and asking deepens anxiety.
Guilt Requires Confrontation With God
- Guilt cannot be resolved purely by psychology because determining true guilt requires moral and religious judgment.
- Keller argues the only way to handle unavoidable guilt is to face God and admit it through repentance.
