Shortest Prayer in the Bible

    As a father, there is little else that can warm your affections like your child calling, "Daddy!"  It's interesting that the shortest prayer in Scripture is "Abba, Father."  (Rom. 8:15; Galatians 4:6).  And when asked how to pray, Jesus began, "Our Father . . ." 

    I've been in a recent season of dryness in terms of my prayer life.  I'm just finding it hard to focus.  I have found myself returning to the simplest, most childlike prayer in the book, "Abba, Father, Amen."  When I don't know what to say or how to say it, I simply call in his direction and shout his name.
