When Jesus was asked ‘teach us to pray’, his answer was both simple and profound. The Lord’s prayer rebukes and reassures us. We don’t need all the extras we have added to prayer and we can be certain of the relationship Jesus died to give us.
Serving the Father
Luke 11:1-4
The Lord’s Prayer
Now Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.” 2 And he said to them, “When you pray, say:
“Father, hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come.
3 Give us each day our daily bread,
4 and forgive us our sins,
for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us.
And lead us not into temptation.”
