The Lord’s Prayer

This, then, is how you should pray:

“‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
¹⁰your kingdom come,
your will be done,
    on earth as it is in heaven.
¹¹Give us today our daily bread.
¹²And forgive us our debts,
    as we also have forgiven our debtors.
¹³And lead us not into temptation,^[a]
    but deliver us from the evil one.^[b

give us this day our daily bread — LIGHTSTOCK.COM

Matthew 6:9-13, NIV

We call it the Lord’s Prayer because Jesus gave it. So it is actually OUR prayer.

When and why do you use it?
