050 | Are You Treating God Like A Vending Machine? The Lord's Prayer and Marriage

Do you ever worry you're not doing or saying something right in prayer? That if you only knew the secrets to unlocking prayer that you would have your heart's desire? If so, you're not alone. We've been there and still struggle with this idea. If we persist in this attitude of prayer, we may be in danger of treating God like a vending machine.

As God invites you to take up the Lord's Prayer as a couple daily, we examine the opening of that prayer: "Our Father in heaven..." In this powerful address, Jesus graciously reminds us that prayer is relational, not transactional (like the transaction of putting a coin in a vending machine and expecting something in return.) As this becomes our framework for our relationship with God, how will it affect our marriage as well?
