The Lord's Prayer: A 30-Day Devotional
The Lord's Prayer is something that's familiar to most of us. Even many people who have no claim to a relationship with Christ can recite it. Nancy encourages us to take a fresh look at this well-known prayer that's simple, short, and to the point and shares tools to help incorporate its truths into our own prayer lives. As we dive into these verses from Matthew, we'll discover that it's more than just a way to pray; Jesus is teaching us the way to live.

"Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil."(Matthew 6:9-13)
Very well known is the Lord's prayer, which many of us know by heart. But how many of us pray it on "autopilot"? I really liked how the author explained it in depths word by word, sentence by sense, and revealed how many layers it actually has!
This is an example of the prayer that Jesus let us. Prayer begins by hallowing God's name, it teaches us - prayer before the petition, worship before asking.
"Throughout the Lord’s Prayer, there is not one singular pronoun. We don’t see the words “me”, “my” or “I”. Instead, nine times we read “our”, “us” and “we”. This is not a self-centered prayer."
Everything in this prayer is about today only. "We don’t need grace today for the trials we’ll face tomorrow. We don’t need wisdom today for the problems we’ll have next month. So we’re encouraged to ask God for what is sufficient for today, trusting that when tomorrow comes, He will provide all that is needed.". It teaches us to concentrate and be grateful for one day at a time.
And the most important:
"We are to reflect God‘s glory to others around us. As His qualities are seen in our lives. He is glorified in us. As we display His ways, His beauty, His grace, and His deeds, then we become reflectors of His glory, much as the moon reflects the light of the sun. Our goal is to make Him known to the people of this world."
