The Lord's prayer : 'Forgive'

Matthew 6: '9-15
Forgive
While the phrase "trespasses" is used in some versions, others use "debts". The key takeaway remains the same: seeking and extending forgiveness.

Importance of Forgiveness:
The Lord's Prayer highlights the significance of forgiveness as a core Christian principle. It encourages believers to seek forgiveness from God and to extend it to others, reflecting God's own merciful nature.

Jesus taught, “If you forgive others their transgressions, your heavenly Father will forgive you” (Mt 6:14). Peter asked Jesus how often it is necessary to forgive, and Jesus replied, “Seventy-seven times” (Mt 18:22), a number to be taken symbolically, not literally, for the never-ending way that we ought to forgive.

The Lord's Prayer - Our Daily Bread

Matthew 6:9-15

In the Lord's Prayer, "daily bread" signifies a humble dependence on God for our daily needs, encompassing both physical and spiritual sustenance, and urging us to trust in His provision for each day.

The Lord's Prayer : Your Kingdom Come, Your will be done

Matthew6:5-15

When we pray “thy kingdom come, thy will be done,” we're praying about all those things in this world that are not yet right, healed, or whole. We're asking God to come free us from the sin, evil, and brokenness that holds us captive. We're asking God to come clean up the mess we've made in this world.

The Lord’s Prayer-What does Matthew 6:5-13 teach us about prayer?

“And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret

The Lord's Prayer

Matthew 6:5-15

Jesus' whole understanding of prayer is built around the understanding that our God is a loving father with nothing but good intentions for us. Jesus teaches us to pray for the reign and rule of God to redeem every aspect of this Earth. Our prayers bend reality in the direction of God's coming Kingdom.

What is the meaning of John 15 5 8?

John 15:5–8) Jesus warns us that apart from Him, we can do nothing. On our own, we are completely devoid of strength. We need an eternal source so that we can have abundant and continual fruit. He also directs us to the method of our abiding.

Always praying

What is the meaning of Philippians 4 4 9?

In Christ, energized by the Spirit, we rejoice in that reality. In the presence of Christ (God-with-us), we are free to throw ourselves into the struggles and issues of life with abandon, and smile. Paul's thrust in Philippians 4:4–9 is this: Christ is the One in whom we rejoice at every moment of life.

A people of prayer

Jude 1:17-25
In these verses, Jude reminds us of dangers that were predicted long ago. Those who are called, beloved in God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ, must contend for the faith that was once for all delivered because ungodly people slip into the church and try to corrupt the faith.

What is Prayer

Acts 1:12-14 Prayer

Here the eleven remaining apostles are named. Judas Iscariot is not among them. He took his own life soon after betraying Jesus. But the remaining apostles gathered together, united even though their Lord was now gone from them. Reflection on the Power of Prayer

A New Year

What is the meaning of Romans 8 19 25?

Romans 8:19-25 offers Christians encouragement from Creation. The non-rational created order has a message for us in the context of the believer's assurance of spiritual security in Jesus Christ. The word "groan" that appears three times in this passage is also used in Acts 7:34.
