Firstly we should remember Jesus said "Pray after this manner" (Matt 6:9) and "When you pray say this" (Luke 11:2). This is God's Word to all believers for all time (Whoever hears my words and acts upon them will be like a man that founded his house on a rock [Matt 7:24-27]).
Our Father in heaven (How to approach God -- with confidence in His Fatherly goodness to those He has adopted because of the Redemption Accomplished by His Only-begotten Son [This is The Supreme Place to Start)
I. These Are God's Petitions...
Hallowed be Your Name; (We should pray for God's glory and reputation to increase and see it more ourselves so we can spread it)
Your Kingdom come, (That the church would be nourished cherished by the washing of the water of he Word and spread so Christ returns quickly)
Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven (fully, completely, always, constantly like the chosen angels and Jesus -- Just Pray it!)...
II. These Are Humanity's Needs...
Give us this day our daily bread, (Provision, favor, endurance, wisdom on the job, finances, food & shelter reaching out to the homeless, remember the poor -- also spiritual nourishment, Every Word in Scripture [Matt 4:4]; Bread of Heaven [John 6])
And forgive us our debts (relationship with God),
As we forgive those who are indebted to us (relationships with others -- tear up the past due notices);
And lead us not into temptation (protect us from sinning),
But deliver us from evil (protection us body, soul & spirit).
In Jesus' Name (Power of Attorney -- The Father grants us when we are clothed with Christ and He won't deny His Name when used in Prayer [John 16:23]). Amen.
