 Listening
to the
Lord's Prayer
The Lord's Prayer is obviously a prayer.
As such it is meant to be said. But it is also the Word of God. When we
say the Lord's Prayer we should therefore not only say the words, but
listen to them. As we speak the words we speak to our Father, but the
Father also speaks His Word to us. Take time to listen to each part of
the prayer, and write down what comes to mind, what the Father might be
saying to you.
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."
