Hallowed Be Thy Name #3

Of all the prayers ever spoken, the one most remembered and most offered to God is the one taught by Jesus to his disciples, recorded in Matthew and known as the Lord’s Prayer.

“And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. And he said unto them, when ye pray, say,                                            

Our Father, which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen. (Matthew 6:9-13 KJV)
