When the disciples of Jesus saw Him praying, they asked, Lord, “teach us to pray”. Jesus responded to their request with what we have now labelled as the “Lord’s Prayer”. The problem we are faced with today, is that this prayer has become more of a recitation than an actual prayer. We can rhyme it off from memory, but we have very little idea about what we are really praying for or what Jesus was really instructing His disciples about when it comes to actual prayer.  I believe if we are to be the kind of follower of Jesus that He wants us to be, we need to take a much closer and more in-depth look at what He was really saying to us in what is labelled as the “Lord’s Prayer”.

The Lord’s Prayer, Do You Understand What You Are Praying For?

1.“Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be your Name”
• What would it mean to you if you really believed that the Sovereign God of the universe really was YOUR Heavenly Father?  If God is YOUR Heavenly Father, talk to Him about you feel about this relationship. Find out how He wants to relate to and be part of your life.  If this relationship was what it ought to be, then talk to Him about how that would affect your relationship to others.
• As we acknowledge His holiness in this prayer we need to remember that we are called to be holy as He is holy (1Peter 1:15-16).  How should this effect what we do, what we say and the attitudes we express in our daily lives?

2. “Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven”
• What would your life look like if God asked you to answer that prayer?
• Are you seeking to do God’s will in every area of your life?  If not, why not? If not, when will you?
• In light of the fact that you are making these excuses why you cannot do His will now, do you really think they sound plausible to your Heavenly Father?  What are you going to do about doing His will?
