The Lord's Prayer
Read: Romans 8:25-28

Each Sunday during our worship service we recite the Lord's Prayer. A prayer most of us have said our entire life. A few months ago Pastor Bob gave a sermon where he discussed yelling out each line of the prayer, one at a time, and focusing on its meaning.

Well, I haven't done that but I have tried to focus more closely on the words each time I say it. It's a beautiful, perfect, simple prayer that say says it all. Now, often when I am at a loss for the words to pray I start with the Lord's Prayer.

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 out 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,
and the power,
and the glory forever. Amen
