The Lord’s Prayer

Matthew 6:9-13  NIV

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.

Forgive us our debts, 

As we also forgive our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

(Older versions include:  For thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory forever, Amen.)

(You all have heard the joke about the little boy who thought God’s name was HALLOWED! )

 This wonderful prayer lays the groundwork for how we should pray.

  • First we praise him for his wonderful love and goodness  (Hallowed means made holy, consecrated, or revered and honoured.)

  • Your Kingdom come–we do pray for Him to come and bring us his joy and fullness permanently.

“Give us this day our daily bread” –all we have is his provision for us.

  • Forgive us our debts–We ask for forgiveness as we forgive others.  

  • Keep us from evil–We ask the Lord to keep us on the right path and not to choose to divert into any kind of evil. 

This gives us a format for prayer.  Some people are amazing at how diligently they pray.  Pray throughout the day as you go about your regular activities.  Pray when washing the dishes, hiking, taking a coffee break.
