Luke 11:2-4 New International Version (NIV)
2 He said to them, “When you pray, say:
“‘Father,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come.
3 Give us each day our daily bread.
4 Forgive us our sins,
for we also forgive everyone who sins against us.
And lead us not into temptation.’”
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come.
3 Give us each day our daily bread.
4 Forgive us our sins,
for we also forgive everyone who sins against us.
And lead us not into temptation.’”
We approach God as both the holy and almighty God who is to
be worshiped in reverence and also as our Abba Father whom we approach as loving
children. Rather than needing long, ornate, and lofty prayers, God wants us to
speak with him about the most basic everyday issues of our lives and know he
hears us and responds to our spiritual and physical requests, doing what we
need and blessing us with his grace.
Thought for today: Do I offer beyond lofty prayers
that do not address what I need in my day to day life?
