The Lord's Prayer

Luke 11:1-2
1One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples."
2He said to them, "When you pray, say"


Try starting every day praying through the Lord’s Prayer.
o Our Father who is Heaven: Recognize God’s presence with you now and reflect on the day before where you noticed His presence.
o Hallowed be your name: Spend time worshiping, thanking, and treasuring God.
o Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven: Pray for God’s love and will to happen in your life, your family, your neighbors, our church, and our world.
o Give us today our daily bread: Tell God all your worries and concerns, your wants and needs, and your hopes and dreams. Ask for his resources and supplies.
o Forgive us as we forgive others: Confess. Name your sins and be honest about your anger or hurt as a result of others. Seek God’s strength and power to forgive those you find it difficult to forgive.
o Lead us not into temptation: In humility seek God’s rescue, His grace, and His mercy, so that you can recognize his consolation when it comes.
