Day 10 – The Lord’s Prayer
This model of prayer is so simple and yet effective! Don’t know what to pray? Apparently either did Jesus’ disciples. That’s why they asked the question, ‘how should we pray?’
You can pray it word for word (and I do) but it is so powerful when breaking it down and praying through each part of the prayer. It’s a daily template for prayer.
I’ve recently written about this in greater detail at www.thewalk.blog so I won’t make this too long.
It’s a community prayer (we all get blessed when we pray it). ‘Our Father’, ‘Give us’, ‘forgive us’. So let’s pray it! I want you to be blessed when I pray it. AND I want to be blessed when you pray it!
It’s a daily prayer – ‘Give us this day our daily bread’.
It’s worship – ‘Hallowed be Your Name’.
It’s declaration – ‘Your Kingdom Come’
It’s forgiveness …
It’s provision …
It’s a reminder of who He is ….
It’s great theology …
It’s spiritual warfare and protection …
And so much more.
You can find it in Matthew 6:9-13
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one
