The Lord’s prayer is another example of how much He loves us, and the kind of relationship He wants to have with each of us.  God is infinitely greater than any leader there has ever been-whether it be the President of the United States, the King or Queen of England, etc.  In order to meet the President of the United States or the Queen of England, we would probably have to jump through a lot of hoops, and follow a lot of protocols.  Yet, when Jesus taught His disciples (and by extension, us) how to pray, Jesus taught that God simply wants us to come to Him like we would to our own fathers-no jumping through hoops, and no protocols to follow.  So, enjoy what the Lord’s prayer tells you.  He is God your Father, and you are His child.
