No other prayer is more important to Christians than this prayer.
It is the Lord’s Prayer – the prayer that Jesus Himself taught us to pray.
There are a host of other prayers we overhear Jesus praying in the Gospels,
but only with this prayer does He say, “Pray like this.”

Most Christians know the Lord’s Prayer by heart. We pray it often, at different times and in different settings. The challenge is knowing the prayer and understanding and appreciating the meaning and power of its words. Each word is saturated with meaning, a meaning that we often miss when we pray it by rote as we gather each week for worship. Each of its six petitions reflects the major themes from Jesus’ life and ministry. As we pause and study the words of Jesus, we will discover how this prayer can shape our lives and through us, to shape and change the world.
