Praying to Our Father

1/5 ( ratings)

This book is grounded on close reading of Scripture, informed by the wisdom and experience of decades of ministerial service. It is not written for the expert theologian, though, but for anyone who desires a deeper understanding of this prayer and why it is a model for all believers.

The Lord’s Prayer is the model prayer for Christians, the most commonly-known prayer in the Christian faith, and perhaps so familiar that we recite it with hardly a thought. This book carefully explores the meaning of each line of the Lord's Prayer and the spirit in which each line should be prayed.

Excerpts:
The higher motive of prayer is to desire communion and fellowship with God. We are to thank and praise God for his goodness. We are to confess sin and accept God's forgiveness and cleansing We are to intercede for others. We are to pray to know God's will and for the strength and courage to do it.This prayer is too big for the bigot, or the rugged individualist, or the loner. It is a prayer of brothers and sisters in the family of God the Father for each other. All whose faith is in Jesus the Christ are children of God through that faith.

You cannot truly pray "our Father" if you do not accept all Christians everywhere as your brothers and sisters in the family of God. To the degree that you harbor any prejudice, bias, or discrimination in your heart toward those of another race, culture, class, or nation you violate the spirit of this prayer.
