Our Father...
Most Christians memorize this prayer at a young age before appreciating its significance. This prayer continues to be read/recited regularly by tens of millions every week, though few pause to recognize the treasures therein.
Let us bask in the light of this masterpiece, which was actually taught by “the Master,” and be shepherded on our path to salvation and sanctification.
“See what great love
the Father has lavished on us,
that we should be called
the children of God.”

When I pray, I personally find it very encouraging and
comforting to imagine the presence of Jesus, invitingly
saying, “Come, let’s talk to Our Father." The Holy Spirit
will tune us in.

Jesus taught this prayer to his closest disciples. This
prayer was principally for those willing to follow him and
heed his instruction. Jesus provided his disciples access
to his Father and his Father’s Kingdom. He invited them
to be the first to
live out the good news:
“The Kingdom of my Father is at hand and available to you.”

“This, then, is how you should pray:
‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come;
Your will be done on earth
as it is in heaven.
Give us this day
our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.”
