As you read the Lord's Prayer, is there a rekindling of how you once learned to pray? Are these new ideas for you and your prayers? Perhaps these words continuously give structure to your own prayers, guiding your heart when you sit to talk with God. Jesus, as a dear Rabbi to his followers, answers their question with a model of prayer that guides his disciples to name and revere the one true God, to ask for God’s glorious redemptive work here and now, while teaching how to depend on Jesus in the day-to-day tasks he gives each one of us. He is not only the Good Father and Creator of All, he is our LORD who provides and is trustworthy. Turning to him in prayer is our blessed gift.
