The Lords Prayer
Matthew 6:10-14
Luke 11:2-4
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy Kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power and the glory.
for ever and ever. Amen
The Lords prayer, is prayed daily by thousands of Christians, and can be accepted both as a model for prayer. The Lords prayer should be repeated as part of our daily prayer.
It starts by addressing God as our Father in heaven, and although His name is honored above all other names, we are His children. He wants us to spend time in prayer with Him.
The Lords prayer then moves on to pray that God's Kingdom, or rule, will become the norm on earth, replacing human rules and governments, which too often are driven by greed and power. Only then do we turn to our own needs, and ask our Father for our basic human needs to be satisfied, and that He would forgive the wrong things that we have done. We ask for God's guidance and protection as we journey through life. Finally we turn back to God, and acknowledge His supremacy and position as the Almighty ruler.
Pointers for Prayer: Pray the Lords Prayer through, and then take one of the phrases. Spend a few moments reflecting on that phrase, for example, imagining what it means for God's Kingdom to come, or how we forgive those who sin against us. Then use these thoughts for further prayer, finally coming back to pray through the Lord's Prayer again.
True Blessings

Why is it important to say this particular prayer? Perhaps you ought to try and convince the Premier of Ontario the importance of saying prayer and this particular prayer in the legislature office, since he sees no reason to continue with the Lord's Prayer. Perhaps a Pasture can make a difference. I have already done so. My reasons are in this day and age we need to pray not for Him but for us as this term of civilization is ending. So That is all I have to say on this topic. Sincerely Angelleah

The Kingdom of Elohim is important to come into the hearts of those that believe. This prayer points to Adoni and the Kiddush of His name. Yeshua brought glory to His name(John 17). Forgiveness is key for all beleivers and being delivered from evil is a must. great post
