The Lord’s Prayer
In Matthew 6:9-13 and in Luke 11: 2-4 we read of Jesus teaching his disciples how they should pray. This is known as the Lord’s Prayer. Below you can read through and memorize the Lord’s Prayer as it was the example Jesus used when…
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 the evil one.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power and the glory,
for ever and ever. Amen.
What Is the Meaning of “Our Father in Heaven, Hallowed Be Your Name”?
This first line of the prayer anchors us in who God is—not just a deity, but a loving, personal Father. “Hallowed” reminds us that His name is sacred and worthy of reverence. Jesus is teaching us to begin prayer with awe and relationship, not with a list of requests.
What Does “Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread” Really Mean?
When Jesus taught His disciples to pray the Our Father, He gave us a simple but deeply meaningful request:
“Give us this day our daily bread.”
At first, these words may seem to be only about asking God for food. But their meaning reaches much deeper. We are asking God to provide everything we truly need—physically, spiritually, emotionally, and eternally.
