Sometimes we think that our material needs are beneath God’s attention. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Even with something as “safe” as the Lord’s Prayer, we need to think, “Can we do this?” And if so, “Why should we do it?” Here are three reasons why we should say the Lord’s Prayer in our church services.

Why did Jesus teach his disciples to address God in prayer with the words, “Our Father in heaven”?

As a young Christian I wasn’t sure whether it was right for believers to pray directly to the Son and Spirit or whether they should specifically address the Father. To whom should we pray?

God’s amazing love for his children is a love that cannot be used up, cannot be extinguished, and cannot come to an end. What does it mean to have God as our Father?

What is the character of our Christianity? Is its primary purpose ourselves? What we get out of it? Jesus exposes, challenges, and disintegrates this selfishness with the first petition of the Lord’s Prayer, “Hallowed be thy name” (Matt. 6:9).

When saying the Lord’s Prayer, it can be easy to take for granted the significance of the first line. Here are two truly amazing aspects of prayer every Christian should always remember.
