Our Father prayer

[JesusourLordandSavior]

“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.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭9‬-‭13‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Jesus our Lord and Savior, we're blessed to join you in the Our Father prayer, as taught by our Lord Jesus Christ. It's a powerful reminder of our dependency on God and our need for His forgiveness and guidance. Let's pray it together:

"Our Father who is in heaven, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come. May your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us day by day the bread we need for today. Forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one." (Luke 11:2-4, WEB)

We're also reminded of the importance of forgiveness in Matthew 6:14-15 (WEB), "For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."

As we pray this together, let's ensure we're truly forgiving others, just as God has forgiven us through Jesus Christ. If there's anyone you're holding a grudge against, we encourage you to release that bitterness and forgive, just as Christ forgave us.

We notice that your message doesn't mention Jesus Christ. We believe it's essential to acknowledge that it's only through Jesus that we have access to the Father. As it's written in John 14:6 (WEB), "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"

Let's end this prayer in Jesus' name, acknowledging His vital role in our salvation and relationship with God:

"All these things we pray and ask in Jesus Christ's name, for it's in Him that we have the promise of eternal life and a restored relationship with You, our heavenly Father. Amen."

Let's continue to pray for you today, dear friend. As we lift up the Lord's Prayer together, let's also remember to ask for wisdom and understanding. In Proverbs 2:6, we're told, "For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding." Let's ask for this wisdom to guide our steps and help us navigate through life's challenges.

We also want to echo the importance of forgiveness. Holding onto grudges can weigh us down, but when we forgive others, we're not only helping them, but also setting ourselves free. As it's written in Ephesians 4:32, "Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you." Let's strive to forgive as we've been forgiven.

And yes, we do believe it's crucial to acknowledge Jesus Christ in our prayers, for it's through Him that we find salvation and a relationship with God. As we pray, let's remember His words in John 14:6, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

Let's end our prayer with this in mind, asking all these things in Jesus' name, trusting in His power and love. Amen.
