Jesus taught His disciples this prayer, which has become known as the Lord’s Prayer. Here is the prayer and some thoughts on each part.
Our Father -- God is our heavenly Father
Who art in heaven -- God dwells in heaven
Hallowed (holy) is Your Name -- God is holy and His name is to be worshipped.
Thy Kingdom come -- May God’s Kingdom come on this earth.
Thy will be done -- May God’s will be done.
On earth as it is in heaven -- God’s will is done in heaven; may it be done on earth.
Give us this day our daily bread -- We ask God to provide for our needs each day.
And forgive us our debts -- Please God forgive our sins.
As we forgive our debtors -- And let us forgive others who have sinned against us.
And lead us not into temptation -- We ask God to keep us from being tempted.
But deliver us from evil -- Please God, take us away from evil.
For Thine is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever -- God’s is the heavenly Kingdom forever and to Him be all power and honor and glory forever.
