The Lord’s Prayer (Our Father)
The Our Father—also known as the Lord’s Prayer—is the greatest Christian prayer because it was taught directly by Jesus. In these sacred words, we ask God for daily strength, forgiveness, protection, and guidance. Pray this powerful prayer when you need clarity, peace, or help with life’s burdens. Jesus promised that the Father hears every sincere prayer made with faith.
Who Taught Us the Our Father?
Jesus Himself taught the Our Father to His disciples when they asked Him how to pray. It is the perfect prayer: simple, complete, and filled with trust in God’s will. Every Christian tradition treasures this prayer as the heart of all prayer.
When Should You Pray the Our Father?
- When you need peace and clarity
- When you are anxious or burdened
- Before sleep or when waking
- During family prayer
- When you seek protection from temptation
- When you want to surrender your life to God’s will
🌿 The Lord’s Prayer (Our Father)
Our Father,
who art in heaven,
hallowed be Thy name;
Thy kingdom come;
Thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.
