give him 5
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.
The Lord’s Prayer is the most widely known prayer in Christianity and is said across most Christian denominations . Jesus often spoke about the importance of prayer for developing a relationship with God. When asked by his followers how they should pray , he taught them the Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:9–13).
How Do I Use The Lord’s Prayer ? Step One: Start With Praise & Worship. “ Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.” Step Two: Pray God’s Will Be Done. Step Three: Pray For Your Needs. Step Four: Confess Sin & Ask For Forgiveness. Step Five: Ask For Help Forgiving Others. Step Six: Pray For Saftey, Protection & Deliverance.
The Lord’s Prayer appears in two of the four Gospels: Matthew (6:9-13) and Luke (11:2-4).
Two versions of this prayer are recorded in the gospels: a longer form within the Sermon on the Mount in the Gospel of Matthew, and a shorter form in the Gospel of Luke when “one of his disciples said to him, ‘ Lord , teach us to pray , as John taught his disciples.'” (Luke 11:1 NRSV).
Saying the words do you no good. However, Jesus Christ taught his disciples to pray with those words, so inherently within them is truth which needs to be applied to our lives. As we shape our lives around the values taught in the Lord’s Prayer , we align ourselves with God’s great purpose for this world.
Use the term kingdom come to mean “forever” or “heaven.” You might sigh that you’ll be cleaning up the sand your brother’s dog tracked around your apartment until kingdom come . Saying you’ll do something until kingdom come is an exaggerated way to express your feeling that it will last forever — until the end of time.
As a result, Catholics living in the eastern half of the Roman Empire usually added the doxology while those in the western half believed the “ Our Father ” as said during today’s Mass was sufficient. When scholars decided on the final written version, they chose to omit it. The end of the Lord’s Prayer is one of them.”
You can either pray your prayers in your mind or speak them out loud. God is able to hear your prayers either way!
Christians do not just have to pray every day , Christians are commanded to pray without ceasing – which is a different matter altogether. To pray without ceasing, you must, of necessity, pray daily. We are commanded to pray by God. God didn’t just create us and then sit back and wait for us to get it right.
But knowing how to pray is not always easy. Jesus’ disciples felt the same confusion. I hope they will encourage you to make 2021 a year of prayer . Know to whom you are speaking. Thank him. Ask for God’s will. Say what you need. Ask for forgiveness. Pray with a friend. Pray the Word. Memorize Scripture.

Lord’s Prayer, also called Our Father, Latin Oratio Dominica or Pater Noster, Christian prayer that, according to tradition, was taught by Jesus to his disciples.
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. Hail Mary, full of grace.
