Isaiah 55:10-11, Ps 34, Matthew 6:7-15

Pray like this

In his humanity Jesus understood how much easier it is to connect with a God we are permitted to address as “Father”. In the same way, he understood our need for practical help to live together harmoniously and prepare for God’s kingdom: he thus describes our most encompassing needs in seven petitions of the Lord’s Prayer.

Thank you, Lord, for teaching us how to pray. May the voices of all those praying as you taught us join together and reach our heavenly Father in a song of praise: hallowed be thy name.
