Luke 11:1-4 - Now Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.” 2 And he said to them, “When you pray, say:
“Father, hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come.
3 Give us each day our daily bread,
4 and forgive us our sins,
for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us.
And lead us not into temptation.”

Prayer Is a Discipline

In practice an individual would first pray this prayer immediately after baptism and their first participation in the Lord’s Supper. In the Didache the Lord’s Prayer is taught after the section on Christian baptism. (Stein)

      The Qaddish, prayed at the end of the synagogue service, contains the following petitions: “Exalted and hallowed be his great name in the world which he created according to his will. May he rule his kingdom in your lifetime and in your days and in the lifetime of the whole house of Israel, speedily and soon.” (Stein)

            “Hallowed” (hagiasthētō) means “let [your name] be regarded as holy.” It is not so much a petition as an act of worship; the speaker, by his words, exalts the holiness of God. (Liefeld)
Philippians 2:10–11 - so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Psalm 111:9 - He sent redemption to his people; he has commanded his covenant forever. Holy and awesome is his name!

1 John 1:5–10 - This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. 8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
Mark 11:25 - And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
      Sins
James 1:13-15 - Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one. 14 But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. 15 Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death.
“Do not allow us to enter into temptation that could destroy us” or perhaps, “Keep us from yielding to temptation.” (Stein)

Everything Is Done With the In Mind

  Does My World Reflect Values?
