The
Lord's Prayer
Matthew 6:9-13 (NIV)
Jesus encouraged his followers to pray to God with sincerity and not for show. He
gave them a simple outline of a prayer that has become known as the "Lord's
Prayer". You can read it in Matthew 6:9-13 (NIV). He did not intend that we only use
this prayer when we pray but that we would include some of the things in this prayer in
our own prayers. This prayer shows reverence to God, dependency on God for our needs,
desire for God's Kingdom to come, thankfulness, an awareness of our sins, a desire to be
forgiven and to forgive others, and trust in God to lead us. |
