He taught us to pray, "our Father" and not "my Father". When you become a child of God you cannot say, "I serve Him in my own way - you do your thing and I'll do mine". Such a person is on the wrong track. When we are born again we become part of God's spiritual family. When Jesus' mother and brothers wanted to speak to Him while He was preaching, He replied "who is my mother, and who are my brethren?". Then He pointed to His disciples and said, "whosoever will do the will of My Father in heaven, the same is my brother and sister and mother". The spiritual family is much more important than the physical blood family. If your child is not in the will of God, you are far apart from him, while another child who serves God, even not your blood-family, is much closer to you.
