The opening line of the "Lord's Prayer" leads us to acknowledge that God is our Father, our Creator. But, God is not a father of the flesh, He is a Spirit,"and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." (John 4:24) "Who art in heaven" aludes to God's omnipresence (He is everywhere at all times). The following scripture sums up God's Fatherhood and heavenly dwelling everywhere in Spirit:
"God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; and hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; that they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from everyone one of us: for in him we live, and move and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, for we are also his offspring." Acts 17:24-28
Also, please notice that throughout the Lord's Prayer we are never once directed to use the words "I, me or mine." This is a prayer that leads us to pray not for ourself, but for the whole body of Christ. When you are asking for a spiritual gift, "Oh Lord Y'hoshua, please help me to be a mighty witness for you," rethink that request. Try, "Lord, help all of your church to be a mighty witness for you." The whole example of the Lord's Prayer is a prayer of unity and sharing. We are in this together, we should work together and share what we have received from the Lord.
"Freely ye have received, freely give." Matthew 10:8
