I have no idea why, other than the fact that it's my Dad's favorite prayer, but even though it's definitely not Jewish it doesn't directly mention Jesus so I guess it was okay? But it's the first prayer I can remember knowing by heart, so I love it too.Betsy Transatlanticallyhttp://www.betsytransatlantically.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8085492922417631594.post-57638218513059433642013-07-13T07:56:21.913-04:002013-07-13T07:56:21.913-04:00I can't even imagine how sweet it is to hear y...I can't even imagine how sweet it is to hear your daughter say the Our Father.

For me it has become even more powerful as I listen to my daughter recite it, perfectly and powerfully.

Tim has taught our oldest son, Graham, the Lords Prayer, Hail Mary and working on the Commandments. Every night at bedtime, he wants Tim to tuck him in, and they say their Hail Mary's and Lords Prayer. It is so sweet to hear it from a 5 year old.AMG413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8085492922417631594.post-76305653471166760092013-07-11T16:05:34.068-04:002013-07-11T16:05:34.068-04:00One of the wonderful things about the Lord's P...One of the wonderful things about the Lord's Prayer is how malleable it can be, depending on our life circumstances, our age, our moment. There have been times in my life where I really squinted my eyes and prayed extra hard over the "lead me not into temptation." There have been times when "thy will be done" was both a plea and a calming promise. There are moments when "forgive us our trespasses" makes my heart flutter, and where "as we forgive those who trespass against us" makes it instantly calm. There have even been a few periods where "give us this day our daily bread" had a special earnestness as it rolled off my tongue. Almost always, the request "deliver us from evil" makes me feel safer. And, as you suggest, the final sentence is some of the most reassuring poetry ever spoken. I never tire of these powerful phrases. Of how many other things can I say that?anonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8085492922417631594.post-14655135844309625452013-07-11T10:37:38.080-04:002013-07-11T10:37:38.080-04:00I'm reading a book right now called "They...I'm reading a book right now called "They Knew How to Pray," and it analyzes the prayer lives of several prominent Bible characters.
