The Lord’s Prayer

This, then, is how you should pray:

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

give us this day our daily bread

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?

Amy Carmichael

Amy Carmichael (1867-1951) was an Irish woman who moved to India to serve God.

Her work there involved rescuing young girls forced into prostitution, even though doing so put her at risk of arrest and imprisonment. She established an orphanage for them.

Her health declined in her later years, and she became essentially bedridden, but she continued to direct the mission she founded and wrote prolifically.

Elisabeth Elliot

Elisabeth Elliot (1926-2015) was a missionary and a critically acclaimed author and speaker. For over half a century, her life of obedience, timeless teachings, and best-selling books have influenced both believers and seekers of the Christian faith.

Elisabeth’s life work was to share these deep things: the trustworthiness of God, the blessings of obedience, the hope of joy in the midst of sorrow, the call to love one’s enemy, the priceless treasure of purity, and the true meaning of Biblical womanhood and manhood.

Having written over twenty books, including Through Gates of Splendor, and The Savage My Kinsman. The latter three chronicle Elliot’s missionary work and the life and martyrdom of her husband Jim Elliot.
