Our Father Prayer
Jesus teaches us to call His Father our Father. He is not ashamed to call us brethren. Hebrews 2:11. So ready, so eager, is the Saviour's heart to welcome us as members of the family of God, that in the very first words we are to use in approaching God He places the assurance of our divine relationship, "Our Father."
The infinite God, said Jesus, makes it your privilege to approach Him by the name of Father. Understand all that this implies. No earthly parent ever pleaded so earnestly with an erring child as He who made you pleads with the transgressor. No human, loving interest ever followed the impenitent with such tender invitations. God dwells in every abode; He hears every word that is spoken, listens to every prayer that is offered, tastes the sorrows and disappointments of every soul, regards the treatment that is given to father, mother, sister, friend, and neighbor. He cares for our necessities, and His love and mercy and grace are continually flowing to satisfy our need.
The Lord's Prayer
Our Father which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done in earth,
as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,
for ever. Amen.
Understanding "Our Father"
When Jesus taught His disciples to pray, He began with the words "Our Father." This simple phrase carries profound meaning. It establishes our relationship with God not as distant subjects to a king, but as beloved children to a loving Father. This intimate relationship is the foundation of all prayer and our entire spiritual life.
God's Tender Care
The infinite God invites us to approach Him as Father. No earthly parent has ever loved their child as deeply as God loves each of us. He dwells in every home, hears every word spoken, and listens to every prayer offered. He understands our sorrows, our disappointments, and our deepest needs. His love, mercy, and grace flow continuously to meet us exactly where we are.
A Prayer of Relationship
The Our Father prayer is more than words to recite—it's an invitation into relationship. When we pray "Our Father," we acknowledge that we belong to God's family. We're not alone in our struggles or our joys. We have a Father who cares deeply about every aspect of our lives and desires to provide for our every need, both physical and spiritual.
