The Lord's Prayer
The last couple of days I have been reflecting a bit on The Lord's Prayer. How can this act as a guide for us to pray today??
The first two (or one) lines are "Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be THy Name." As I was walking and prayng tonight, these phrases kept rolling around in my head, over and over. Soon, they became a bit condensed and even modernized. I found myself repeating, almost as a type of mantra, "My Father in heaven, Your Name is Holy." That became the defining moment of my prayer tonight. No matter what else I prayed, I kept coming back to that. "My Father in heaven, Your Name is Holy."
I want to start using this as a preface to my prayer in the coming days. How will this help focus me? Will it serve me in my development of a greater, more powerful prayer life?
