Honoring God as Our Loving Father

Matthew 6:7-8, God knows what we need before we ask. Larry Walker addresses and answers questions about these two verses: 1. Since God knows our needs, why do we need to ask Him? 2. Should we just keep our prayers short since He knows what we'll ask? 3. What's the lesson we're to learn from the parable of the unjust judge? 4. Does this parable mean we should pester God gives in and gives us what we want? 5. What can we say and mean in every request we make to God that will guarantee that our prayer will be answered? 6. Is knowing and believing God's promises enough to assure our prayers will always be answered? 7. How does God relate to us today in a way He didn't emphasize to in Old Testament Israel?
