The Lord's prayer is a perfect prayer that was taught by Jesus not only to His disciples but to all who believe in Him. This prayer can make us closer to God.

Prayer is a wireless communication to our Heavenly Father. If we are not connected to God, then our lives would become miserable. We could feel emptiness within our hearts. Even how busy we are, working here and working there but if God doesn't bless our efforts, everything would become only useless, meaningless and worthless.

One time, one of the disciples of JesusChrist was asking Him how to pray. Then, Jesus taught them the Our Father which is also known as the Lord's Prayer.

Every single word on this prayer has its significant message to all of us. If we are believers and followers of Christ, we must know the prayer He has taught us.

Our Father, who art in heaven

God Himself is a greatest artist. He was the best architect on how He designed all things or creatures in heaven and on earth. He put the sun, the moon and even the stars above to give lights to all people. The light that will give hope to the hopeless and shines in the darkness.

Calling Him a Father means we have a relationship, He is our Father and we are His sons and daughters. In Him alone, we should give our praises and thanksgivings.

Hollowed be Thy Name

His name should be praised everytime when we call Him through in our prayer. His name is the sweetest name of all. He is called as Yahweh for some Christians.

Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on Earth as it in Heaven

Jesus brings heaven on earth. He was a best and concrete example of God's love. He inspired us to do good. He wanted us follow His steps towards destinations where we can forever praise and worship Him with His angels and saints.

Give us this day our daily bread

Bread represents our daily needs like food, water, air and other needs. God gave us our needs in daily basis because He wants us to be always dependent on Him. He wants us also to call Him everyday for all our needs.

And forgive us our tresspasses

To forgive is Divine. God is so merciful and loving. He will forgive all our sins and faults if we know to ask or to give forgiveness. Our hearts are calm if we avoid hatred and revenge to the people who committed mistakes against us.

As we forgive those who trespass against us

We are not deserving to be forgiven by God because of all the sins we have committed if we don't forgive also who sin against us. Forgive so that we will also be forgiven. If we have experienced God's love and mercy, we must also share it to other people.

Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil

Satan is always trying to destroy us. The devil wants us to be disconnected with God. He keeps on tempting us in many forms. That's why it is included in the prayer because we need His protections and guidance from the Holy Spirit.

Final Thoughts

Prayer can be a weapon against our enemies. We can use the Lord's prayer to fight any temptations. It's a complete and yet a perfect prayer to protect us from any harms and evil.
