Our Need for Prayer
Is the Prayer to be Recited?
REVERENCE | HALLOWED BE YOUR NAMEDEVOTION | YOUR KINGDOM COMEPHYSICAL DEPENDENCE | GIVE US OUR DAILY BREADSPIRITUAL DEPENDENCE | FORGIVE US OUR DEBTSDISCIPLESHIP | LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATIONMay my meditation be pleasing to him,
for I rejoice in the LORD
I will meditate on your precepts
and fix my eyes on your ways.
I will delight in your statutes;
I will not forget your word.
I remember the days of old;
I meditate on all that you have done;
I ponder the work of your hands.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable in your sight,
O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.
My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food,
and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips,
when I remember you upon my bed,
and meditate on you in the watches of the night;
for you have been my help,
and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy.
My soul clings to you;
your right hand upholds me.
O righteous Father, even though the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me. I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them. Father is the Christian name for God. Luther was right. We best hallow God’s name when our life and our doctrine are truly Christian. When we pray, “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,” we are dedicating ourselves to lead lives that reverence all that he is. And he withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, and knelt down and prayed, saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.”
