The Lord’s Prayer

In a short prayer, Jesus shows us how to align our desires with the purposes of God’s Kingdom.

Reflect

  1. Why does Jesus tell his followers to address God as “our Father”?

  2. Why would someone pray for God’s name to be recognized as holy?

  3. When Jesus prays, "Your Kingdom come, and your will be done," what is he asking for?

  4. What does praying “give us today our daily bread” remind us about in the Old Testament, and what might it instill within us?

  5. Why does Jesus so closely connect God’s forgiveness of us to our forgiveness of others?

  6. Jesus prays about temptation, or “testing,” and then prays about deliverance from the evil one. How do these concepts or ideas relate?
