Luke 11:1-13

The Lord’s Prayer

11 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.”

5 And he said to them, “Which of you who has a friend will go to him at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves, 6 for a friend of mine has arrived on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him’; 7 and he will answer from within, ‘Do not bother me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I cannot get up and give you anything’? 8 I tell you, though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his impudence he will rise and give him whatever he needs. 9 And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. 11 What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent; 12 or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”

  3. May my prayer be acceptable to you, O Mighty One. May I not mumble a few words and check ‘my morning prayer’ off my to-do list.

    May I pause and truly give you the best of my day. Totally focused on lifting my hands to you.

    Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. I serve a risen Savior who died for me. I have been adopted by the Creator of the universe.

  4. Dear Jesus help us to pray with gratitude and without selfishness, to pray and live as you have taught us.

  6. Teach us to pay. Wow! To our Heavenly FATHER, Whose Name is holy, HIS character is holy, HIS justice is holy, HE is holy, holy, holy. I ask, seek & knock on the door of HIS grace room for provisions, protection, & prayers for family, friends, Church, (es), Pastors, Teachers, Military, Missionaries, unsaved, & ect. The Holy Spirit is One of the best gifts ( besides) that GOD gives. HE operates on GOD’s behalf through my prayers for my benefit & the benefit of others. GOD is good always. Praise HIM & honor HIM.

  7. Such an awesome God we serve! The One Who created all….Who knows all….Who has power over all….Who wants to have a close relationship with us….Who has made a way for that to happen through Jesus and His amazing sacrifice, through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and through the act of prayer.
