The Christian Approach: The Lord's Prayer

By Corey Fabricatore

Prayer is one of the most important aspects of the Christian life. Prayer is so important that Jesus made it a point to show his followers how to pray using the Lord's Prayer when he taught the Sermon on the Mount. It is paramount for Christians to understand the Lord's Prayer and how to pray to God using the method that Jesus taught us. The Christian Approach: The Lord's Prayer brings that understanding in a clear and concise way. In The Christian Approach: The Lord's Prayer, Pastor Roland Preisler, and Corey Fabricatore provide a comprehensive biblical examination of what prayer is, crucial information regarding the prayer, what the individual elements of the Lord's Prayer are, and what's the meaning behind each element of the Lord's Prayer. By the end of this book, you are sure to have a better understanding and appreciation for that infamous prayer that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ taught!

About the Authors

This book is dedicated to Corey Matthew Fabricatore Jr. As I write this, your mother and I are eagerly and excitingly waiting for you to come into the world. It is early fall of 2020, and Charissa and I are waiting for our best Christmas present ever—you! Your mom and I have seen you on ultrasounds, felt you kick in her belly, and by the time this book is published, will have finally got to hold you in our arms. We look forward to everything God has in store for us as a family. Mommy and Daddy love you!

Message from Corey Fabricatore

I, Corey, a bond servant of Jesus Christ and fellow brother to those who are called, loved by God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ, may mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you! God is good, and he is good all the time! This is such an exciting time in my life. Not only am I a new husband and father, but I have now published my third book in the book series called The Christian Approach. This is very exciting to me because what can be better than to help people have a Christ-centered view on life.

It was nothing short of divine intervention that I met my wife, Charissa, who is truly an angel from God. My wife also brought her father, Roland, into my life as well. Since then, I have started learning from Roland, maturing my Christian life to unbelievable levels. In doing so, I have been blessed. My humble eyes now see how the Lord has taken my life, a useless ball of insignificant clay, and is molding it into a Christian leader, hardened by the fire.

Roland truly lives the servant leadership that Jesus expects every Christian to demonstrate in their journey of life, and I am grateful for his example. I say all this to express how honored and blessed I am to be able to cowrite this book with my mentor.

I am truly humbled in a spirit of gratitude for all those who continue to support The Christian Approach. Moreover, Roland and I are truly grateful for those who are taking the time to support and learn from this book. We live in a perverse, dying, and dark world that is twisted by sin. So, we are beyond grateful for those who teach the word. We also are grateful for those who have a desire to seek the light of Jesus Christ. Throughout this book, we hope to give you a comprehensive overview of what prayer is and understanding of what you are praying for in each of the elements of the Lord's Prayer. May the mercy and blessings of Jesus Christ be upon you abundantly!

Opening Prayer

Heavenly Father, may all the thanks, praise, honor, and glory of the universe be unto you, for you alone are worthy and deserving! Father, we have so much to be grateful for and to glorify your name over. We are grateful for all the blessings that flow from you. We are grateful for your love and mercy which gave us salvation by faith in Christ. We are also grateful for the opportunity to be able to boldly come to you with anything in prayer because of the atoning work of your Son, Jesus. We are grateful to pray before your throne in confidence
