Today on Summit Life, JD Greer says just as the story that Luke 18 is comedic for its hyperbole. God

in Luke, but I do want you to notice one word that's in there because this kind of guides everything

else he's going to say about prayer. It's the very first word of the prayer. Father, father in English

almost sounds a little formal. I never called my father father. I called him daddy and that word

father there in the Greek and translated from the air of May. That's what it meant. Abba abba

meant daddy. It's what a little kid called their father. And he says, that's how you're going to

pray to God like he is your like he's your daddy like he's your daddy. All right. Then he teaches
