Matthew 6:9-15 This, then, is how you should pray: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed by your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread.

The Lord’s Prayer – June 28

Matthew 6:13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. There are a lot of situations in life that requires preparation and training—a new job, birth of a child, and, for our soldiers, war. Each requires different training for that specific situation. Did you know that as a Christian you are to also train and …

The Lord’s Prayer – June 26

Matthew 6:12 Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. Did you notice that the Lord’s Prayer says, “have forgiven”. Its already been done.

Matthew 6:12 Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. Being human we are not perfect. We know that “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).

The Lord’s Prayer – June 22

Matthew 6:11 Give us today our daily bread.  To be persistent in prayer and not give up does not mean endlessly repeating yourself or carrying on unendingly. Persistently praying means consistently and constantly keeping your requests before God. Be tenacious. As we are tenacious, we wait for God to answer. As we wait, because God choses the how, when, where, …

The Lord’s Prayer – June 21

Matthew 6:11 Give us today our daily bread. Be specific. Do you bring specific needs to God each day, or do you just expect the answers to come in? Luke 11:5-9 Then he said to them, “Suppose one of you has a friend, and he goes to him at midnight and says, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread, because …

Our Father has made this promise to His faithful children who seek His blessings in order that they might be able to stretch out fill hands to those in need. God intended us to be givers, not takers. He provides for us so we …
