JESUS AND THE LORD'S PRAYER

 JESUS AND THE LORD’S PRAYER

TEXT: “Our Father, who art in heaven

Hallowed be thy name

Thy kingdom come

Thy will be done

On 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

Forever. Amen”      Matthew 6:9-13

Tucked away in the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew chapters 5-7, you find the Lord’s Prayer.

It is not necessary that we always pray this prayer verbatim verse by verse, line by line. What is important is that we apply the principles of this prayer.

Please note that the glory of God comes BEFORE the needs of man!

It does not begin with “gimme, gimme, gimme.”

It puts God in His proper place of being first!

May God be acknowledged as Father!

That there is a heaven.

That His will be in the forefront of our minds at all times.

That His glory be paramount!

Only then do we pray for ourselves.
