The Lord’s prayer begins with “Our Father” because we are all children of God. We pray for His mercy or forgiveness on all of us, not just for ourselves. The prayer continues with “which art in heaven.” In Old English, “art” means to be or to exist. This is a reminder that we pray to a God that lives in Heaven, and we do not pray to objects on Eart...
In simple terms, “hallowed be thy name” means we respect God and are loyal to Him only. This phrase is like our pledge of allegiance to God. I will admit that in my high school social studies classes I did not enjoy reading Shakespeare. No matter how many times I read his plays or poems, I just couldn’t understand all of the Old English words he us...

When we think of the word debt today, the first thing that probably comes to mind is a loan or borrowing money. However, the verse is not referring to financial debts. Instead it symbolizes righteous or moral ...
This verse of the Lord’s Prayer asks God not lead us to do something wrong or into temptation. We need God’s help because we are often tricked by the devil into making the wrong choices in life. We are asking God to help us avoid making more bad decisions.
The word “deliver” in this verse does not mean what it seems. We are not asking God to deliver us like a pizza from point A to point B. God is not our Uber driver. Instead, we are asking God to rescue us and set us free from sin and evil in our lives.
The final verse of the Lord’s Prayer is our acknowledgement of God’s power. 1. Thine means:something that belongs to you 2. Kingdom means:an area controlled by a king (heaven and earth) 3.
