Our Father
“Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”
BEFORE THE ASKING, A FATHER
Jesus teaches us to begin not with the list but with the relationship. Prayer is a child's conversation, not a stranger's petition.
OURS, NOT ONLY MINE
"Our Father" — we never pray alone. Every prayer sets us beside a family that stretches around the world.
IN HEAVEN, YET SO NEAR
The Father is in heaven — greater than any problem you carry. And still He lets Himself be called Father — nearer than you think.
YOUR KINGDOM COME
Before my plans, His kingdom. Praying this way reorders the day: God's priorities step in front of my urgencies.
YOUR WILL BE DONE
Surrendering your will is not giving up; it is trusting. In the Father's hands, surrender becomes rest.
START WITH "FATHER"
Act: pray the Lord's Prayer slowly, out loud, before breakfast — and pause for ten seconds after the word "Father."
