The Lord's Prayer

Yesterday was "Bible Giants" by Patrick and Caroline :D *claps*
The topic they were speaking on was the meaning of the Lord's Prayer.
We have 3 main points to remember for this session, that was,
to ASK for CHANGE and GUIDANCE.

Notice the prayer says "Our Father in heaven"... and not "my Father"... Why is this so?
It is to signify the brotherhood of all Christians, and that we should pray for all our brothers and not only for ourselves. In, "Hallowed be Thy Name", Hallowed means holy and the nature of God is perfect.
"Thy kingdom come, Thy Will be done on earth as it is in heaven" implies our duty as Chrstians to establish the kingdom of God on earth. "Give us this day our daily bread..." means God will provide in abundance, all we have to do is ask.

"Forgive us our tresspassers, as we forgive those who trespass against us". Sin separates us from God as it is rooted in selfishness. However, when we forgive others first, only will God forgive us. In 1 John 4:20-21, it states : "If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother."
For when we don't love, we can't enter the kingdom of God as God is love.

"Lead us not into temptations, but deliver us from evil..." wants us to seek everyday guidance from the Holy Spirit as we can be easily tempted by worldly desires. The last verse "For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen." sums up God's power and presence as His power alone can change everything.

Some questions for you to ponder on...
1. What does the Lord's prayer mean to you now?
2. Why do we end our prayers "In Jesus name" ?
[ Hint : John 14:13-14, And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it. ]
3. What do you think "Amen" means?

Psalms 119:105
"Thy word is a lamp onto my feet and a light onto my path."
