The Prayer of Our Lord
The beauty in the simplicity of the Lord's Prayer is that it touches all of life. Though its words are few, it expresses our very need-from salvation to daily bread-and our gratitude at God's gracious provision for everything. Jesus taught it to His disciples two thousand years ago, but this model prayer still teaches us today. It reminds us that God is our protector and provider, and it comforts us in trial and despair. Many instinctively turn to this prayer in times of crisis and great need. Todd Beamer prayed the Lord's prayer on Septemer 11, 2001, as the struggle for control of United Flight 93 began.
It is the greatest prayer in the Bible because it comes from the heart of our Savior to His heavenly Father. Pastor Philip Ryken looks at the power and truth within each phrase of the Lord's Prayer, draws in other biblical passages, and reveals the practical pattern for prayer that holds the promise of changing your life. Here is not only a deeper understanding of the living God's power and presence, but also the peace and contentment, hope and forgiveness, truth and assurance that came from God alone through prayer.
