The Lord's Prayer

We need time spent with The Lord in prayer, because it’s God Who answers prayer, changes circumstances and touches lives. That’s why people say things like, “Would you mention my name when you pray.” “Pray for me.”  That’s why my church has a prayer list.

Matthew 6:9-13 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.  And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

I’m glad Jesus left us “The Lord’s Prayer”, lest I forget His Name is Hallowed or to pray for God’s will in my petitions.

I may forget to thank Him for clothes, food, shelter, and blessings that overflow my Joy Cup to the saucer.

Better to remember to forgive those indebted to you, regardless of what they’ve said or done. You may need forgiveness later.

The Lord will keep me on the straight and narrow if I ask.

There's no better way to end a prayer than to praise The Lord for all He is—His kingdom, His power and His glory.
