Lord's Prayer - Part 2

Matthew 6 is where you can locate the Lord's Prayer

Once we follow th guidelines Jesus gave us through verses 1 -10 then we are ready to seek him in prayer.

Verse 11-12

We can ask him the following:

1. Give us our daily bread. We all have daily request, needs that we need the Father to help us. He knows better what we need before we can even ask him.

2. Forgive us - we all need forgiveness and we have many that we need to forgive. We can never move forward if we are not taught how to forgive and if we never forgive others. Jesus is teaching more than a prayer. He is teaching us how to talk to the Father so that we can grow in his strength.

3. Lead us. Who better know that we need to be led. We are like sheep lead to the slaughter. We are pulled so easily in a negative direction when our heart is not close to God. God knows we need direction and it must come from our Father.

This is a powerful prayer because we would never ask God these things on our. But his clear path of what to say to the Father brings forth protection, strength and humility.

Thank God for giving us a guideline to follow that gives us clality and direct instructions to follow to help us stay on the path that leads us in the direction of drawing nigh to him.
