The Lord’s Prayer is a prayer the Lord Jesus taught His disciples in Matt.6:9-13 and Luke 11:2-4. Many people misunderstand the Lord’s Prayer to be a prayer we are supposed to recite word for word. Some people treat the Lord’s Prayer as a magic formula, as if the words themselves have some specific power or influence with God (Yahweh).

The Bible teaches the opposite. God is far more interested in our hearts when we pray than He is in our words. “But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words” (Matt.6:6-7). In prayer, we are to pour out our hearts to God (Phil.4:6-7), not simply recite memorized words to God
The Lord’s Prayer is an example of how to pray. It gives us the “ingredients” that should go into prayer..

Many people preach the power of other prayers like the so-called Sinner’s prayer or the prayer of Jabez. Is the Sinner’s prayer going to take you to heaven? It is not even found in the Bible! Repeating the prayer of Jabez is like repeating a mantra which heathens use. It is a very selfish prayer in which Jabez was concerned only about himself. God demonstrated His love by prospering His people. But that was before Messiah came to this world.

God is far more interested in our communicating with Him and speaking from our hearts than He is in the specific words we use. Phil. 4:6-7 declares, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God,
The Lord's Prayer shouldn't be repeated mechanically or without thought. Its purpose is to awaken and stimulate our faith. Through this prayer Jesus invites us to approach God as Father. Indeed, the Lord's Prayer has been called a summary of the Gospel.

When Moses approached God on Mount Sinai, he heard a voice saying, "Do not come near; put off your shoes from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground." In the Lord's Prayer, Jesus invites us to draw near to God who is beyond human understanding, who dwells in mystery, who is all holy. We can Call God (Yahweh) “Our father”

By calling God "Father" we are correctly describing ourselves and our relationship with God. Jesus teaches that we have a father-children relationship with God; God sees us as if we were a daughter or a son. And we, on our part, can approach God in the familiar confident way a child approaches a loving parent. What is more, we approach God through God's only Son, Jesus Christ, who unites us to himself
God's kingdom: Jesus often said that God's power would appear and renew all creation. God like a mighty king would rule over the earth according to a plan that unfolds from the beginning of the world. God's kingdom would be marked by peace and justice. Good would be rewarded and evil punished. The kingdom, according to Jesus, is not far off, but already present in our midst, though not yet revealed. In the Lord's Prayer we pray that God's kingdom come, that God's will, which is for our good, be done here on earth as it is in heaven.
We are God's children. What can be more childlike than this petition in which we pray for our daily bread, a word that describes all those physical, human and spiritual gifts we need to live? With the confidence of children we say: "Give us this day what we need."
This petition of the Lord's Prayer is a demanding one. Not only do we ask God's forgiveness for our daily offenses, but we link God's forgiveness of us with our forgiveness of others. Forgiving others is not always easy to do. We need God's help to do it. But it must be done or we ourselves cannot receive God's mercy.

Life is not easy. It is a daily battle. Trials like sickness and failure can crush our spirits. False values and easy promises can entice us and even destroy our souls. And so we ask God to keep us from failing when we are tested, to help us to know the right thing to do, to deliver us from the evil which awaits us in life.

The Lord's Prayer sums up the teaching of Jesus. It is also a prayer that offers the grace of Jesus: his reverence for God, his childlike confidence in his Father, and his power to go bravely through life no matter what comes. When we pray his prayer, his spirit becomes ours.
