The Lords Prayer

One of the most well-known and powerful prayers in the Bible is The Lord’s Prayer, found in Matthew 6:9–13. Jesus taught this prayer to His disciples as a model for how to communicate with God—with humility, reverence, and trust. For many Christians around the world, The Lord’s Prayer remains a cornerstone of daily faith and devotion.

Whether you’re just beginning your journey with God or have walked with Him for years, this prayer offers a way to refocus your heart and mind on what truly matters. It reminds us that God is our provider, protector, and the One who forgives and leads us.

Let’s take a moment to read and reflect on these sacred words.

The Lords Prayer (Matthew 6:9–13, NLT)

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.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power and the glory,
for ever and ever.
Amen.

Reflect

This prayer reminds us that God is both near—our Father—and holy. It centers us on His will, His provision, His mercy, and His protection. Whether you recite it every morning, during moments of stress, or before bed, let it draw you into deeper trust in the One who hears and answers.

The Lord’s Prayer is not just a set of words—it’s a daily invitation into God’s presence. Each line carries deep meaning:

• “Our Father who art in heaven” reminds us that we are not alone. We are loved by a personal and powerful God.
• “Hallowed by thy name” teaches us to honor God above all.
• “Thy Kingdom come” expresses our hope in God’s justice and reign.
• “Give us this day our daily bread” shows our daily dependence on Him.
• “Forgive us… as we forgive others” calls us to live in grace and mercy.
• “Deliver us from evil” acknowledges our need for spiritual protection.

When you pray these words with intention, they can shape your heart and align your life with God’s will.
