Welcome to #YourDestiny, #Your Best Monday Morning Inspirational Blast “PRAY” Matthew 6:9-13. In Luke 11:1 Jesus’ disciple said to Him “LORD teach us how to pray like John taught his disciples.” Also Jesus’ sincere love for the people was noted and continues genuine today. THE LORD'S PRAYER our model is not merely a liturgy (a religious ceremony). This prayer is concise, easy and complete. There are six petitions, three are directed to God and the other three focuses on human needs.
“Our Father” represents a personal relationship with God and other believers. “Which art in heaven” represents our faith—we believe. “Hallowed be thy name”---we worship You, LORD. “Thy kingdom come,” is our expectation. “Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.” LORD we willingly submit to Your purposes, plans and glorify You as all prayers must.
“Give us this day our daily bread” our petition to God. “And forgive us our debts” our confession. As sinners we owe a debt to God. We must ask Him for--forgiveness like children who disobey parents. Then “As we forgive our debtors” those who sin against us-- we demonstrate compassion towards them.
“Do not lead us into temptations, but deliver us from evil” demonstrating our dependence on God. Yet we know God does not tempt us. The phase “Do not lead us into temptations” means “He allows us to be expose to trials, errors, and situations (some our own doing). We should not yield or give in to sin. Like cursing the person out who misused us or play “Tit for tat” (retaliation). The Word says, “God gives us a way of escape” which represents His purposes, plans and glory.
“For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever” an acknowledgment of WHO GOD IS AND WILL FOREVER BE!
Thanks LORD for loving and showing us how to “PRAY” THE MODEL PRAYER: THE LORD’S PRAYER that is concise, easy, complete, we continue learning the importance of a love relationship with YOU and believers, faith increase that YOU art the God in heaven, to worship YOU, pray with increase expectations, submission to YOUR will and way, make our petitions known unto YOU, confession of our sins, ask for forgiveness, show compassion towards others, lean and depend more on YOU and we acknowledge YOU as our LORD, SAVIOR and KING of kings.
