Lord, teach us to pray... Jesus disciples had seen Him pray many times.
Sometimes he prayed all night and sometimes His prayers were just one sentence. Jesus' followers made the connection between Jesus' intense prayer life and the power He showed in every aspect of life. They must have realized that prayer was the link. Finally, one disciple asked Jesus to teach them how to pray. Jesus gave them a deceptively simple, childlike prayer which has come to be known as "The Lords Prayer" The prayer is recorded in Luke 11:2-4 and Matthew 6: 9-13. Matthews version highlights the seven key parts or petitions:
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
As we come into 2016, I want to share and teach the Word of God in a refreshing way making it absolutely clear on why and what the scriptures are telling us.
Join us as we start the first spiritual and inspirational series "The Lord's Prayer" HERE on 1/3/16.
Every Sunday and Wednesday night. I am looking forward to a blessed season for all of us.
God Bless.
