The Lord’s Prayer
Thought
Spend time each day this week praying through the Lord’s Prayer. Over the last six weeks, the focus has been on each portion of the Lord’s Prayer. Now, let’s pray it in its entirety.
Look at each section below and pray what God puts on your heart. Reflect on each area of the Lord’s Prayer. Remember, prayer is a two-way street. We speak in, and we listen. Most of us have overused mouths and ears that have been in retirement! We need to hear from God more than He needs to hear from us. Write down what He says to you. Also, if you feel comfortable, take other verses you’ve read and pray them through the elements of the Lord’s Prayer below.
Prayer Practice
Proximity – “Our Father in Heaven,”
Praise – may Your name be kept holy.
Priorities – May Your Kingdom come soon. May Your will be done on Earth, as it is in Heaven.
Provision – Give us today the food we need,
Peace – and forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who sin against us.
Protection – And don’t let us yield to temptation, but rescue us from the evil one.”
