OUTLINE OF A PRAYER GIVEN BY JESUS
2. He is our Father in heaven
Matthew 6:9
The Fatherhood of God was very dear to Jewish thought according to Deuteronomy 32:6; Isaiah 63:16; 64:8.
The Jews, however, did not use the term *Abba (Daddy)* that Jesus was in Mark 14:36.
Christians adopted *Abba*, which expresses an especially close relationship, as the way to address God in prayer according to Romans 8:15.
*We should approach God with the confidence of a small child approaching his or her father*
Human parents sometimes neglect their children, but God never does.
But intimacy is not the same as disrespect.
