Exodus 3:13 & 14 (NKJV)
Then Moses said to God, "Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they say to me, 'What is His name?' what shall I say to them?" And God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM." And He said, Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, "I AM sent me to you.'"
The children of Israel, God's chosen people, were slaves to the nation of Egypt, they needed a miracle in their lives, and the Great "I AM" came to their rescue
Matthew 6:9 - 13 (NKJV)
"In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."
Jesus our Lord, our Savior could have instructed us to pray to His Father, He could have instructed us to pray to the "Great I AM," but instead He instructed us to pray to "Our Father," and to pray that the "Great I AM," in His unhindered love for us would provide, forgive, and protect us, His children
Abba, Father You are our Father and we are Your beloved children and we daily rejoice in Your promise of eternal love, forgiveness, provision, and protection; it is in the name of our Lord and our Savior Christ Jesus, the remedy for every ill of life, that we pray. Amen.
