Praying as Dear Children of a Holy Judge and Father (1Pet 1:17 Prayer Devotional)

1Peter 1:17 teaches us to pray because God is our Father Who is always available, able, and willing; because God is our Judge Who rules over all and has justified us in Christ; because we need His help for doing works that accord with His judgment; and, because we need His help to resemble Christ well in our limited time on earth.
