Okay Maybe let's chat about the Lord's Prayer again?

Thread.
'Our father who art in heaven'

Let's first discect the first 2 words.
So, when you get to your friends house. You knock. Why? Because it's not 'home' you don't just barge in. 'Our father' means knocking on a door that you are kin to. Here, you just walk in. Because?
... It's 'Our father' you speaking to someone THAT YOU KNOW.

'Who art in heaven' - here you solidify his place. You say, "Lord, I know that you are not on the same level as me, you are much higher than me and I acknowledge that"
'hallowed be thy name. Thy will be done, on earth as it is on heaven "

This is giving God full autonomy to do as he wishes. Whatever that he does in heaven? Lord do it on Earth and you know what? That's okay"
'give us day our daily bread" tsiiii
That is saying, "Lord, I know that ever single day will come with its own struggle, but give me the bread. Whatever it is give it to me". This one is most dangerous because of the word "DAILY"

because babes..
You're saying that you're ready for every single struggle. And on top of that, Lord, give it to me, daily. I don't want stale bread, I don't want expired bread. Everything you have for me, have it fresh off the stove. I'm ready, I'm willing. Thuma Mina 😊
"And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us"

Ah ah đŸ˜© terms and conditions always apply. You've legit just said, "ONLY forgive me IF I forgive others" 😊😊. So no risk? No reward. Remember that this only works IF YOU FORGIVE FIRST!!!
'lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil". What a contradiction?! Temptation usually comes from evil. But we are always tried and tested and God's people. "Lord, don't lead me. But deliver me"

The trick is knowing when temptation will need deliverance đŸ˜©
"For thine is the kingdom. The power and glory. Forever and ever. Amen"

Just as the heavens are higher than the earth, God will remain superior.

Dunno why I had to do this thread but one person needed it and it's okay.

Soli deo Gloria
